Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple

(Matthew 21:10-13) And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. When Jesus went up to the temple, there were a lot of people doing business. Jesus drove them away and told me not to make my father's house a commercial house. The Jews asked, "What signs will you show us to do this?" Jesus said, "Tear down the temple, and in three days I will raise it up." The Bible said that Jesus was speaking of his temple in the temple. Even the disciples did not know the meaning. This means "Now this temple is no longer needed, I will give you a true temple." The disciples realized the meaning only after Jesus was resurrected. It is the temple that God is with. Since the true temple has come, the temple, which is the shadow of God's name, must be removed. When Jesus' disciples were walking with Jesus looking at the temple and talking about the beautiful temple, Jesus said, “That temple will fall without any stone left.” In the Gospel of Matthew, disciples who were so shocked asked Jesus back. When will that happen? And what will happen to the end of the world? Asked the disciples. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus said, "If you see Jerusalem surrounded by an army, realize that the destruction of Jerusalem is near." Jesus told his disciples, "Do you not see all this?" Did you say what you don't know? That is, "Do you not know the relationship between the temple of this building and Jesus Christ, the temple of Immanuel?" The building, the temple, is a shadow, and it means that Jesus Christ came to the true temple. So, he is saying that this building, the temple, is no longer needed, and that the shadow must disappear. In the same context, Jesus said to the Jews to destroy the temple. Today, most church people don't know what Jesus means to his disciples, "Don't you see all this?" and what Jesus means to the Jews, "Destroy this temple." Of course, the Bible explains that it is the resurrection of Jesus, but in fact, the building of the temple is the shadow of the true temple, and it is no longer necessary. I don't know today, could the Israelites know? However, if the Israelites properly searched for this law, they would have no choice but to know. When Solomon built a temple and prayed to God, the contents of In 1 Kings 8:27-28, ``But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? 』 Solomon built the temple of God, and the builder of the temple confesses that the temple building has only the name of God. Deacon Stephen is speaking of the temple, saying, ``God does not exist in man-made temple buildings,'' and it is just the place where the name was given. This is what the Apostle Paul is saying when he preached over Greek people when he saw a temple in Aden where he wrote the phrase To an unknown god. Since the Greeks may not know the word Jehovah God, the apostle Paul used the expression ``the god who made the heavens and the earth.'' It means ``there is no God in a building built with hands''. The apostle Paul used this expression when he preached to the Gentiles, and if the Jews had properly studied the Bible and meditated on the law properly, they would surely know that the building temple is a type and the true temple will come. So, Jesus is saying, "Do you not see all this?" Jesus rebukes the disciples and the Jews reproach. Today, while people claim that church buildings are temples, it is often seen that they are bought and sold within churches. There are many people who think it is convenient. Jesus says you (disciples) will be the temple of God. When Jesus preached and entered the Samaria region, he asked a Samaritan woman who came to gather water from Jacob's well and asked for some water.The Samaritan woman asked, "You are a Jew, so why do you ask the Samaritan for water?" Jesus said, "Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 』 During this or that story, a Samaritan woman asks Jesus, “The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. I asked. 『Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. ' People in the church usually think they go to the temple to worship. I think it is only to go to the temple to worship and praise God. From what Jesus is saying, there is no God in this mountain, and there is no God in Jerusalem. It is said, “The time comes when you worship God because God is in you.” If there is no God in you, you cannot worship. In order to worship God, it is correct to go to the place where God is. You cannot worship where there is no God. That is why Jesus said that. In other words, he said, "You will become a temple." When Jesus was crucified, died and resurrected, sits at the right hand of God and sends the Holy Spirit, the time will come when all the saints in Christ become temples and worship God on their own, even if they are on earth. The saints gather to worship, but if you worship with the spirit (spirit) and truth (truth: the word), it becomes true worship. The word ``spirit and truth'' does not mean ``clean the heart'', but the Holy Spirit. When the works of God and the word of God are revealed clearly and the glory of God is revealed through the word, it is worship. If you make you understand God's Word through the teaching of the Holy Spirit, you will glorify God through the result of your realization. He said that the Holy Spirit seals the born again believers. In Ephesians 1:13, ``In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,'' 2 Corinthians 5 Chapter 5 also reads 『Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 』, 2 Corinthians 1:22 reads 『Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 』The word that the Holy Spirit strikes the seal is a guarantee: "The Holy Spirit was given as a guarantee." The guarantee is that in the kingdom of God, the curtain of the kingdom of God will be clothed.
