Matt 21 12 Jesus
entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling
there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of
those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,
" 'From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise ?"
Ps 82 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
Christ embodied the ot temple worship. He was born in a world that was turned upside down. In the OT God communicated to the Priest through the articles in the ark of the covenant. The OT supernatural communication of God from the Temple was embodied in Christ. The Prophets spoke the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees as they depended upon Gods response in the supernatural communication from the ark of the covenant. But now Christ embodied the axioms. The God Man had entered time to pronounce the axioms into reality as He walked among men.
God established the creation covenant though progressive revelation. He created man as a governor to rule over His creation. He established His creation covenant through the Kingship of David.God rules the earth from His presence in the Temple. But the eternal Son of God who ruled from the Temple came into the world as the ot presence of Gods kingdom. Christ came into the Temple to establish His eternal presences in the nt church. Now Christ rules the earth through the NT church. Now the babes who speak the axioms in the church control the kingdoms of the world.
