Combining the temple backgrounds of Sinai and Babel, Luke reveals that with the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost, the eschatological temple has come down from Heaven. This end times temple is made not of stones but of people. This people forms a new humanity under King Jesus that is unified while maintaining its distinctives to God’s glory. God’s judgement of the nations is precisely the means by which His salvation will occur, and people from every tribe, tongue, and nation will worship the King forevermore.
