The tabernacle/temple was the place that heaven touched the earth.  Jesus has become our temple.  In Him, the “Word was made flesh.”  We saw the glory from the heavenly realm among us in the tabernacle of His body.  In Him heaven and earth met.  Divine and Human!  You and I are also the temple of God (I Corinthians 3:16).  It is not just that God dwells within us, and He does, but He dwells within us to have heaven touch this world.

“Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10 (NASB)
