Revelation21:22
22 And I saw no Temple therein , for the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb are the temple of it .
I cannot take Temple so strictly here, as those who understand all this but as a description of the Blessed State of the Militant Church, during the Thousand years, but understand it of all such Worship and Ordinances as we serve God in, and by, in this Life.
The immediate fruition of God shall there supply all, God shall be all in all, 1 Cor. 15.28. Ordinances are but Perspectives, of use in this Life to see God at a distance; means, whereby we know in part: There we shall see God face to face, and know him as we are known. The Saints there shall want nothing, and therefore shall not need an House of Prayer; they shall know perfectly, and therefore will not need any to teach them; they shall always see Christ, and so will need no Sacraments whereby to remember him.
