If our bodies are THE TEMPLE of God the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19) then there is no other temple of God on the earth – no man-made temple, and inside our bodies is where the presence of God is – where He abides. So, it is we disciples of Jesus, collectively, who are the habitation of God in the Spirit (Eph. 2:21-22).
By the Spirit, Christ lives in our hearts, and His glorified PHYSICAL body is presently in heaven, at the Father’s right hand. He will bodily or physically return to earth. For now, we know Him by the Spirit, by faith, and not according to the flesh, not by sight. When He returns it is physical – returning to a physical place to reign from a physical throne, in a physical temple over physical people.
The second coming of Christ is not to be SPIRITUALIZED. We must not “spiritualize” Jesus. He is presently, and will forever be a “flesh and bone” Man, and yet He is God. It is the spirit of antichrist which denies Jesus is both flesh and Spirit – fully God and fully Man.
