| Summary: | The repositioning of the temple incident in John's Gospel to the beginning of the narrative is an important clue to its central interest. John, like 4Q174, interprets 2 Samuel 7 to mean that the Jerusalem temple never should have been built and that the true (heavenly) temple had yet to be built in the last times by the true seed of David. Until then, God's presence is a tented presence as in the wilderness wanderings. The dimensions of John's community as an introversionist sect seeking direct mystical experience of the divine presence to replace the physical destruction of the Jerusalem temple are explored in terms of this temple theme. |
