Whose Food, and Whose Altar are you Eating From?

When the Spirit was poured out on Pentecost, it was no longer dwelling in the temple according to Moses; a temple made with hands, with dead stones. Rather, it went into the tabernacle of men, making up the Body(Dwelling/Tabernacle of the Living God) with living stones.

Eph 2:20having been built upon the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, יהושע (Yeshua/Jesus) Messiah Himself being chief corner-stone, 21in whom all the building, being joined together, grows into a set-apart Dwelling Place in יהוה(YHWH), 22in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of Elohim in the Spirit.(ISR 98)
