The church is consecrated to God. Therefore, it is sacred to him because he imputes sacredness to it. His Son saved and redeemed it. It is the new sacred temple. It replaces and fulfills the Old Testament tabernacle and temple.
Let’s allow the clarity of Scripture to overturn needlessly complicated eschatological (end-times) interpretations that have dominated American Christianity for many decades. Further, is this replacement the same as the church replacing Israel? Read the post to find out. And look at the photos, too! (I updated this post with verses from Acts.)
