The Temple

The Old Testament

One of the most iconic temples of God is Solomon's Temple and as a man of wealth, power, and wisdom from God, he covered this temple with Diamonds, Gold, Ruby etc. But when Solomon decided to praise 'Wordly Idols' which let down his relationship with God. Therefore, God chose to bring the King of Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar) to destroy Jerusalem and Nebuchadnezzar did exactly that. He broke down the walls, killed almost everybody and stole the diamonds, quartz, and ruby from the temple Solomon had built. 

The New Testament

When Jesus was Entering the temple of God in Jerusalem on a donkey he found people selling Lambs, Sheep and basically any kind of offering - like a fish market. It made Him so sad and angry at the same time He went in FULL ANGER mode on those people. He forced them to go out of the temple and told them to sell their lambs at a different place because The Temple of God is a place for worship and not for getting profit! 

The Modern Era

During this time, we're basically witnessing Covid and Monkey Pox at the time of me writing this (2022). And right now many of us would be praying anywhere and everywhere for these viruses to stop. It's totally frustrating! Anyway, back to the point! During this period, we have no temples to go to like the Old & New testament. And that's cause we are the temples! I know it's the least expected thing in this world. But we are the sinners for whom Jesus the Messiah sacrificed himself to die for our sins. I mean like we don't deserve it at all but then at the same time I'm grateful cause we don't have to be crucified upon the cross like Christ did for us. All of us know that Temples are supposed to be Holy! And according to me, we're not Holy. But since Jesus died for all our sins which in a number would be that:-'∞'. I know that's like the infinite number in the world but it's no joke, we might do sins which we don't even know we did. But putting all that aside we're now saved and Holy once again and that's why we're worthy of being called the Temple of God. So that's basically the reason why we can pray anywhere anytime. Pretty Epic!

The Best part of it all is that if we keep being Holy we will have a guaranteed spot in the Lord's House "Heaven!" 

God Bless,
