The Jews

took it as

the literal

temple

not Jesus'

body from

the answer He gave them in John 2:18-22.

Even the disciples did not really

understand the meaning at the time.

Only after His resurrection did this

become plain to them.

The Temple held the Shekinah Glory

but now the Spirit of God dwelt in

this temple made without hands.

This truth was involved in building

the Church, the Body of Christ.
