![]() My main objective was to reveal Jesus in his sanctuary as the foundation of the life of the early post-Easter Church, which, as can be seen, was not understood clearly from the beginning it is only with the passage of time and with the evolution of theological reflection that the Church has come to a fully understanding of the importance of this message, hence we can appreciate it in its greatest development only in the later texts of the NT. Unfortunately, I could not count on much theoretical support this is quite a little travelled path, with which few scholars attend, and perhaps this is why this investigation has the defects that all pioneering work has: its solitaire results. The eschatological temple is a line of continuity that begins with the preaching of Jesus and his self-presentation of the Son of Man and goes throughout the NT until the visions of John on the island of Patmos with no solution of continuity, with no weakening of the original message all that being in itself a miraculous act of God, through the Spirit. From the methodological point of view, it is an antidote against the liberal dissociative view, which sees the history of the NT as a series of conflicting thinkers, who build their religious ideas according to the events and ecclesial local demands, regardless of the essence of Jesus' preaching. ![]() ![]() The kingdom of God and the Church, the heavenly sanctuary and the Christian community, Jesus' priesthood and the priesthood of the Church, inaugurated eschatology and the realized one, in so many ways these two threads are intertwined, tying everything that is said in the NT, that the blindness of many in not perceiving it remains unimaginable. In fact, the eschatological temple is a dynamic concept that links several theologies, making them an organic whole. It is fundamental for New Testament theology because it is one of the axes that gives cohesion to the set of documents that make it up, preventing the NT from being merely a group of juxtaposed texts, with no connection between them, as liberal theology wants us to believe. This work deals with a fundamental theme for New Testament theology: the eschatological temple in its double reality.
