Why is there no temple in the New Jerusalem?
Since God is present with believers and believers are present with God, there is no need for a place of worship or a temple. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it, so the city needs no separate temple.
Les explains that because God is present with us and we are present with God, there is no need for a place of worship or a temple. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. He also notes the city has no need of the sun or moon, since the glory of God will be all the light anything needs, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Further, nations appear in eternity, showing the kingdom economy continues into the eternal state, and believers will rule and reign with Him.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
