What is a Temple?

The central allegorical theme of the bible is the concept of the Temple. In the bible, alot happens in the temple and you must know where it is and what it means. When you understand this core concept everything else in the bible falls into place. The Temple is not a physical thing like a church, a mosque, or a synagog. It's not somewhere you go. The Temple is 100% intended to mean "IN Your Head" It's not a physical place, it's a mental place.

1 Kings 6:7 - And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

Acts 7:48 The most high dwells not in temples made with hands.

Luke 17:21 The Kingdom of God is within you.

1 Corinthians 3:16 You are the temple of God. For the temple of God is Holy which temple you are.

The word "house" means the house of the Lord i.e. Temple:

Zechariah 8:9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
