Summary of Readings
§
The

for us to dwell in as we travel through the “wilderness” of life in this world
§
The
Ark of the Covenant signified God’s Presence and Holiness
§
The
Temple is a place where God has said He will dwell with His people, leading to
statements like Paul made, Know ye not that your body is the Temple of God –
speaking of what was to come.
§
Jesus
clearly likened His body to The Temple, which the disciples realised later,
when he was crucified and rose from the grave.
