~ The Temple ~
Key Passages
~ The temple was modeled after
the tabernacle, however it was much more elaborate contained numerous rooms and
porches (1 Kings 6-8).
Key Purpose
~ The temple was the Jewish
center of worship for about 350 years.
Key Results
~ 1) It was destroyed by
Nebuchadnezzar when Judah was taken into captivity (2 Chronicles
36:14-21). 2) After Israel returned from captivity a
smaller temple was built on Mt. Moriah (Ezra 6:13-22). 3) Later King Herod developed an extensive
building program to enlarge and enhance the temple (John 2:20).
Key Application
~ Jesus Christ purifying the
temple (John 2) is a clear picture of how He is purifying the human temples of
His followers through the work of the Holy Spirit.
Key Prophecy
~ Jesus Christ prophesied that
the existing elaborate temple would be destroyed (Matthew 24:1-2). The Messiah’s prophecy was fulfilled in the
destruction of the temple in Jerusalem by Titus in a.d. 70.
