What Do We Learn About the Temple in the Book of Revelation?

Abstract
Have you ever used a template to create something, or to guide your actions, or to provide you a pattern?
I find it significant that the word temple and template come from the same ancient word. They both refer to patterns and guides that help you create or experience.
God gives us temples. And temples serve as patterns or guides for our lives. Temples are based on heavenly patterns pointing our minds to the celestial order of God’s plan. We enter temples to leave the patterns of the world behind so that our souls will be renewed through encountering heavenly patterns.
