By that logic, then the church can not be the new Temple of God since the Tabernacle, then the Temple of Solomon then the second Temple would still be the place and focus of worship of Yahweh. Rather, the Temple worship was a shadow, just like circumcision was a shadow of a future, spiritual reality. How do we worship God now? Do we go to a physical temple and offer animal sacrifices through a human priesthood? Or do we worship in the Spirit offering spiritual sacrifices as individual and corporate temples of the Holy Spirit? I maintain that just as the temple was a shadow and reached it's fulfillment in the body of Jesus, just as the Priesthood was a shadow and reached it's fulfillment in the body of Jesus, just as circumcision was a shadow and reached it's fulfillment in the body of Jesus. The reality of all the prophesies and promises and types are all fulfilled in Jesus.
