Throne room – King of Righteousness
Seat of judgment — Judge of Righteousness
Holy Place – glory and worship of God

2Sam 7:1-7,11,13 David wants to build YHVH a house; God says that He never spoke a word about that to anyone from the tribes of Israel. The Son of David (not Solomon nor a son of Solomon, but of Nathan Lk 3:31) will build a house for God’s Name, and His throne will be established forever.

Zech 7:4-7; 9:18-19 no more fasting for believers in Messiah on the 9th of Av (the fifth Hebrew month), or in the month of Tishrei (the seventh month); all of these mentioned fasts(and in the 4th and 10th months) have to do with the destruction of the Temple, and the Babylonian invasion and captivity; Messiah Yeshua has brought days of rejoicing instead of mourning
Mt 24:1-2 Jesus prophesied the destruction of the 2nd Temple, which occurred in 70 AD
Jn 2:19-22 Jesus Himself the Temple in His own body
Mt 12:6 Jesus greater than the Temple
1Cor 6:19-20 born-again believers are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are to glorify God in our body and in our spirit; sacrifices of thanksgiving, of praise; our bodies a living sacrifice
