“It (the Sanctuary) had a wall round about . . . to make a separation between them which was holy, and that which was common. “ (v.42)
The Temple was a place of purity, a place of worship, a place where God’s glory dwelt. So the wall provided a separation, a distinction between that which was common, and that which was holy.
So too, as Paul reminds us as Christians, our bodies are God’s temple, and His Spirit lives within us (1 Cor. 3:16). Therefore, we too need a wall of protection (His Holy Word) to insure our temple stays holy. For we were bought with a great price and should honor God with our body, and not bring Him into any form of sexual immorality (1 Cor.6:19-20).
The Truth: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
