Proverbs 9:1 (ESV)
The Way of Wisdom
Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn her seven pillars.
The wisdom of the Lord has created the seven pillars of His house. These are depicted as seven lampstands in Revelation that represent the Church who becomes the light of the world. This is the new and living temple foreshadowed by the tent of meeting and temples on earth built by the hand of man according to the example in heaven.
The real temple is the body of Christ. He is the cornerstone and we are the stones that complete its construction. It is built by the hand of God. The New Jerusalem will not need a temple because He and we will be the temple and the light of the world.
Jesus is the way.
