The Temple of God is Us - the Church

 “and he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.”

‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭25‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV

The king of Babylon’s chief deputy, came and burned the Temple of God to the ground, went on to the royal palace, and then finished off the city—burned the whole place down.  For the Jews at that time, it was a horrendous occurrence that their temple was destroyed.  They had gone so far away from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and worshipped other gods, thinking that nothing will happen to them and now it was too late - they were being exiled, taken over by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.  What a lamentation there was!  God seemed so far away!  But God had the best plan, when He sent the Messiah Jesus Christ, to be the Sacrifice to take away all sin.  Then Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to empower all those who believe in Christ’s Sacrifice, and to permanently dwell in such believers.  Scripture says, “Do you not know that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, Whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”  There is no building in heaven or earth where God will dwell, but He has chosen to dwell in the Church, the Body of Christ, in those who believe in Him!  Amen!
