Help with Temples

[april]

Hello, I am trying to do research on Temples.although there were many temples, where can I find how many spiritual temples and physical temples there are?

 

Thanks

[april]

I did find information on Solomon's Temple in the NWT in the Gossary. Also researched temple, but can't find physical temple,

The congregation is the spiritual temple, is our body the physical, sorry to appear so dumb. I never had this question before, our C/O gave us homework...he said how many temples can you come up with name them, spiritual and physical.......

If you type, TEMPLE, into WOL, you will find plenty on both spiral temples (Christian congregation) and spiritual (Jehovah's great temple).

Hi Sister April (New Orleans).

 

I hope that maybe this can help you.

First, are you using the "Watchtower Library" on your computer?

If you are, then you can follow along here below:

 

1) Type "Temples" in the blank section at the top left on the WT Library

 

2) Next look under the place where you wrote "Temples" for this  - "Reference Works(2)"

     Enter this.

 

3) Now you have 2 choices:

         " dx86-13 Temples" - Enter this one
         " dx30-85 Temples"

 

4) Now the bigger screen on the right on the WT Library will show this at the top

     TEMPLES
(See also Churches; Monasteries; Synagogues; Tabernacle)
(Note centered headings below: Built by Solomon; Built by Zerubbabel; Rebuilt by Herod; Spiritual [Christian Congregation]; Spiritual [Jehovah’s Great Spiritual Temple]; Visionary [isaiah 6]; Visionary [Ezekiel 8-11]; Visionary [Ezekiel 40-48]; Visionary [Revelation])
 

5) Now all you have to do is just press any of these Temples (the words in bold above are separate links) that you are interested in researching!

 

I hope this helps you, if you need anything else just ask us

The "temples" Index entry lists three physical temples (not including the tabernacle), unless I'm completely misunderstanding your question.

[april]

I don't see three physical temples, but I found this;   

At Isaiah 2:1-4 and Micah 4:1-4, reference is made to a ‘lifting up’ of “the mountain of the house of Jehovah” in “the final part of the days,” and it is foretold that there would be a gathering of people of “all the nations” to that “house of Jehovah.” Since there has been no physical temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem since 70 C.E., this must refer, not to some physical structure, but to an elevating of true worship in the lives of Jehovah’s people during “the final part of the days” and a great gathering of people of all nations to share in worship at Jehovah’s great spiritual temple.

Sister April, I think all the information you need can be found in Insight on the Scriptures, under TEMPLE.

 

Two physical temples approved by Jehovah are listed there: the one built by Solomon, and the one built by Zerubbabel after the Babylonian exile. There was also the temple built by Herod, the one that existed in the days of Jesus, but the Jews didn't consider it a third temple, but rather a reconstruction of Zerubbabel's.

 

On the other hand, there's the great spiritual temple where the anointed Christians serve as priests and Jesus as the High Priest

 

All of that can be found in that article.
