All throughout scripture you will see references to the people as the true Temple, the True Throne, the True Land. A person is a stone of the temple. We are in Christ. He is the Temple. We are the City of Jerusalem, living stones. You know the rest.
We don't worship the exterior monuments and we sure as heck never worship ourselves, but people who reject the Word of God, whether it's the Prophets or the Torah, will get lost every time.
