Abstract
This chapter examines a range of temple images in the New Testament that do not portray the church as the temple or body but that instead emphasize that God shares himself with his people in the heavenly or eschatological temple. The chapter considers the presentation of Jesus himself as the eschatological temple in John’s Gospel, the concept of access to the heavenly temple in the book of Hebrews, and the description of the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation. Each uses covenant imagery, specifically drawn from the new covenant promise of Jeremiah 31 and read in terms of other prophetic texts, notably Ezekiel 36 and 37. The connection between the believer’s union with God and the ontology of the incarnation is highlighted, particularly in the study of John and Hebrews.
