Thus says the Lord GOD:
Lo, I am sending my messenger
to prepare the way before me;
And suddenly there will come to the temple
the LORD whom you seek,
And the messenger of the covenant whom you desire.

Scripture references the temple not just as a means to describe a place, or building where the faithful gather to worship Our Father; also to identify the presence of The Saviour (Jesus, the Messenger of The Lord) living within the life of every human person.
. . .that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. . ..that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me.~ John 17:21-23
