Did not God destroy the old temple, by the hands of the Romans, to show that His new temple would be His people, and not a building made by human hands? What poor theology we have when we say, "We are going to the church.", or "You need to be in the house of God." You, brethren, are the "house of God", not some silly little building that is WRONGLY called a church. YOU ARE THE CHURCH, THE HOUSE OF GOD, and THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD.
Acts 17:24
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Acts 7:48
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
1 Corinthians 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the
temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17
If any man defile the
temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the
temple of God is holy, which
temple ye are.
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
2 Corinthians 6:16
And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols? for ye are the
temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ephesians 2:20-22
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
1 Peter 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Could it be that we have not experienced the fountain of living water, because we have substituted a relationship with the Lord, for a relationship with a business corporation that sells His Word, fleeces His sheep, and ingores His commands?
Could it be that God's people have been deceived by spiritual Babylon?
Revelation 18:4
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
