Temples hold immense significance in the Judeo-Christian tradition as they represent the physical manifestation of God's presence on earth. They serve as a focal point for religious rituals, sacrifices, and communal worship.<br><br><b>The Tabernacle:</b> <br>Before the construction of a permanent temple, the Israelites used the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary, during their wilderness wanderings. The Tabernacle was meticulously designed according to God's instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25-27). It housed the Ark of the Covenant and was the center of Israelite worship until the establishment of the First Temple.<br><br><b>The First Temple (Solomon's Temple):</b> <br>King Solomon built the First Temple in Jerusalem, fulfilling the vision of his father, King David. The construction of the temple is detailed in <a href="/bsb/1_kings/6.htm">1 Kings 6-7</a> and <a href="/bsb/2_chronicles/3.htm">2 Chronicles 3-4</a>. It was a magnificent structure, symbolizing the zenith of Israel's united monarchy and serving as the central place of worship for the Israelites. The temple was dedicated with great ceremony, and God's presence filled the temple as a cloud (<a href="/1_kings/8-10.htm">1 Kings 8:10-11</a>: "And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD, so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.").<br><br><b>The Second Temple:</b> <br>After the destruction of Solomon's Temple by the Babylonians in 586 BC, the Second Temple was constructed upon the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon. Initiated under the leadership of Zerubbabel and later expanded by Herod the Great, the Second Temple is described in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. It played a central role in Jewish life until its destruction by the Romans in AD 70.<br><br><b>The Temple in Prophecy and the New Testament:</b> <br>The temple holds a significant place in biblical prophecy and the New Testament narrative. Prophets like Ezekiel envisioned a future temple (Ezekiel 40-48), and Jesus Christ's ministry frequently intersected with the temple. Jesus cleansed the temple, emphasizing its intended purpose as a house of prayer (<a href="/matthew/21-12.htm">Matthew 21:12-13</a>: "Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves. And He declared to them, 'It is written: My house will be called a house of prayer. But you are making it a den of robbers.'").<br><br><b>The Temple as a Symbol of the Church and Believers:</b> <br>In the New Testament, the concept of the temple evolves to represent the Church and individual believers as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Paul writes in <a href="/1_corinthians/3-16.htm">1 Corinthians 3:16</a> (BSB: "Do you not know that you yourselves are God&#8217;s temple, and that God&#8217;s Spirit dwells in you?"), emphasizing the sanctity and spiritual significance of the believer's body as a temple of God.<br><br><b>Eschatological Significance:</b> <br>The temple also holds eschatological importance, with references to a future temple in the book of Revelation. <a href="/revelation/21-22.htm">Revelation 21:22</a> (BSB: "But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.") suggests a time when the physical temple will no longer be necessary, as God's presence will be fully realized among His people.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Temples in the Bible serve as profound symbols of God's presence, holiness, and the covenant relationship between God and His people. From the Tabernacle to the eschatological visions, the temple remains a central theme in understanding the divine-human relationship throughout biblical history.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">ROBBERS OF TEMPLES</span><p>(hierosuloi, "guilty of sacrilege"): A term used by the town clerk of Ephesus (<a href="/acts/19-37.htm">Acts 19:37</a>, the King James Version "robbers of churches"). As the temple of Diana (Artemas) had a great treasure-chamber, the offense might not be unknown among them; compare <a href="/romans/2-22.htm">Romans 2:22</a>.<br><br>In 2 Maccabees 4:42 the King James Version the epithet "church-robber" (the Revised Version (British and American) "author of the sacrilege") is applied to LYSIMACHUS (which see).<p><span class="encheading">TEMPLES</span><p>tem'-p'lz (raqqah, "thinness," "upper cheeks"): The original signifies the thinnest part of the skull (<a href="/judges/4-21.htm">Judges 4:21, 22</a>; <a href="/judges/5-26.htm">Judges 5:26</a>). In <a href="/songs/4-3.htm">Songs 4:3</a>; <a href="/songs/6-7.htm">Songs 6:7</a>, the bride's cheeks are likened to pomegranates because of the rich coloring of a slice of this fruit.<p><span class="encheading">TEMPLES, ROBBERS OF</span><p>(hierosuloi; the King James Version "robbers of churches," <a href="/acts/19-37.htm">Acts 19:37</a>): To explain this as "sacrilegious persons" is irreconcilable with the contrast in <a href="/romans/2-22.htm">Romans 2:22</a>. In <a href="/deuteronomy/7-25.htm">Deuteronomy 7:25</a>, the Jews were commanded entirely to destroy the gold and silver idols, ornaments of the heathen temples. The sin reproved is that of making that a matter of gain which, without regard to its value, they should have destroyed. "Dost thou, who regardest the mere touch of an idol as a horrible defilement, presume to rob their temples?" There is abundant evidence to show that this crime was not unusual. When the town-clerk of Ephesus declares the companions of Paul innocent of such charge, his words imply that the fact that they were Jews rendered them liable to such suspicion. So Josephus goes out of his way (Ant., IV, viii, 10) to deny that Jews ever committed the crime.<br><br>H. E.
