Was the Temple Meant to Be Heaven? (Ancient Cosmology Explained)

Stefan Beyerle joins us to explain how ancient Jewish texts and traditions connect “heaven” with the temple, portraying it as a cosmic space that reflects divine power and order. Drawing on evidence from the Hebrew Bible, Ancient Near Eastern cultures, and archaeology, he shows how throne imagery, cherubim, and sacred architecture point to a shared worldview where temple and cosmos overlap. The discussion also explores key texts like the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice and what they reveal about how heaven was imagined in biblical and Second Temple periods.
