The Cosmic Temple & Spiritualized Eschatology, Part 1
Israel’s temple was a symbolic shadow pointing to the eschatological “greater and more perfect tabernacle” (Heb. 9:11) in which Christ and the church would dwell and would form a part. If so, it would seem to be the wrong approach for Christians to look in hope to the building of another temple in Jerusalem composed of earthly “bricks and mortar” as a fulfillment of the OT temple prophecies.

Golden Calf in Psalm 106
I found an interesting perspective on the golden calf incident while studying today.
At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped the cast metal image.
They exchanged their glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.
Psalm 106:19-20
