Overview
Top Highlights
“The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility that it is in Acts 2 that Luke narrates the initial establishment of the church as the latter-day temple in replacement or, better, in escalated continuation of the true temple of God.” (Volume 56, Number 1, Page 74)
“The conclusion drawn from this is that the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost is a description of the inaugurated eschatological descent to earth of the heavenly temple to establish God’s end-time people as a part of this temple.” (Volume 56, Number 1, Page 73)
“there is no explicit mention of the decisive time when the Church was first founded as the eschatological temple” (Volume 56, Number 1, Page 73)
“Revelation 11:3–5 even says that the purpose of the Church becoming lampstands on earth is that they would ‘stand before the Lord of the earth’ and be ‘witnesses’ who ‘will prophesy’ to the ‘nations’ (cf. 10:11; 11:9) and their prophetic utterance is portrayed as ‘fire proceeding out of their mouth’!” (Volume 56, Number 1, Page 92)
“God’s heavenly tabernacling and theophanic presence began to descend on his people at Pentecost in the form of the Spirit, thus extending the heavenly temple down to earth to include his people in it by building them into it.” (Volume 56, Number 1, Page 74)
