Exploring the 7 Temples of God
01. The Garden of Eden
The Temple is an archetype in Scripture – meaning, it is a recurring theme with symbolic, spiritual, and prophetic significance. The first Temple wasn’t a building, but a garden: Holy ground where God and man communed daily. That fellowship was broken, and thus the Scriptural narrative is about rebuilding, reestablishing, and restoring that broken fellowship. As we explore the seven temples of God in this series, we’ll find that each temple is symbolic, both of God’s desire to have fellowship with us, and of His progressive movement that takes us from the earthly structure to the spiritual reality.
