Mark and Fred discuss how the tabernacle in the wilderness and the first temple were built according to God’s instructions and empowered by the Holy Spirit, resulting in God’s manifest presence. They contrast this with later temple structures that reflected increasing human control and compromise. Drawing from these biblical patterns, they explain that the future “glorious church” will not be built by human methods but by the Holy Spirit through the gifts and callings given to believers, following the instructions found in the New Testament.
