God Is Dwelling in a Different Kind of “House”

Excerpt From Newsletter

(John 2:13–22) Did you notice John said, “They believed the Scripture”? If you have any interest in the Truth, that should have made you ask, “Where is that Scripture?” If it didn’t, don’t worry; I am going to show you. But first, I need to show you one more thing from the New Testament before we look at the Old. Take a look at this: (Matthew 26:55–66).

It may be that you aren’t able to put two and two together so that you understand Jesus’ response, so let me explain. The two “witnesses” who brought the trumped-up charges they used to indict Jesus must have heard what Jesus said about “building The House” of God. Therefore, what they said was true; but when the High Priest asked Jesus to respond to the charges, Jesus refused to answer. So the High Priest put Him under oath and forced Him to respond to the charge that He said He was going to “build The House” of God if they killed Him. That’s when Jesus said this:

“You said so; yet I tell you, from this point on, you will see the Son of The Man sitting at {the} right hand of the Supernatural Power, and coming back on the clouds of Heaven.”
(Matthew 26:64b) —Harper’s Standardized Study Bible

The point Jesus was making is: “You are going to kill Me; but God is going to fulfill the promise and give Me what was promised—that is, creation in the image and likeness of God as the Second Adam. Then I am going to ascend to the right hand of God the Father.”
