The Millennial Temple
We are only just beginning the Kingdom Age. The fullness of the
Kingdom will be realized 1,000 years from now. We have a lot to learn
and be discipled in before we can have the fullness of God dwell in us
which Ephesians 3:19 declares will be a reality:
“to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be
filled with ALL the fullness of God.”
Therefore, the previous temples in history have been for the purpose of
teaching us what it means to be the true “temple of God” not made
with hands. Physical temples explain to us in a practical “hands on”
manner how we become a holy and pure and undefiled place for God to
dwell. The reason previous temples had to be destroyed (like
Solomon’s, & Herod’s) was because of OUR (Mankind’s)
unfaithfulness to the Covenant that God has made with us, and not
because Yahweh’s purposes have been changed.
The Millennial Temple will not be any different than previous temples
in its eternal purpose. It will serve the same eternal purposes by
providing a natural object lesson for the spiritual reality that God will
be working out in His true temple “not made with hands.” We still
have much to learn about what it really means to be God’s dwelling
place. To be exact, we will have one thousand years worth of
discipling and perfecting.
Solomon ended his prayer of dedication for the temple in Second
Chronicles 6:41,42 by crying:
“Arise, O Lord to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
Let the priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, And let Your
saints rejoice in goodness. O Lord God, do not turn away the face of
Your anointed; Remember the mercies of Your servant David.”
Then all of Israel worshiped Yahweh with sacrifices and said:
“For He is good, For His mercy endures forever!”
Likewise, let us continually offer the sacrifices of praise and
thanksgiving! Let us rest in the mercy and goodness of our Friend
