Thats right, the earthy temple means nothing anymore it was left desolate due to disobedience. The veil being torn meant it was the end of the earthy temple system. Jesus does not minister from an earthy temple but from a heavenly Temple not built by human hands. Heb 8:1-5. After the earthy temple ended- it points to the heavenly Temple and in the old temple all the furniture in the courtyard and holy place has a greater meaning.
For example the alter where animals were sacrifice pointed to Jesus who is the Lamb of God who take the away the sin of the world
John 1:9
The laver
Exo 30:18 where the priests wash their hands and feet before entering represent baptism
John 3:5
The seventh branch candle stick symbolizes Christ as the true light
John 1:9 and Christ’s people to be a light to the world
Mat 5:14-16 so sharing our faith
The alter of incense symbolizes prayers of the saints
Rev 8:3-4
The table of shewbread - represents the Word of God- we are to live by every Word
Mat 4:4
And all of the temple is surrounded by white linen which represents being covered in God’s righteousness and all of this leads to our sanctification and holiness which leads us to the Most Holy compartment of God’s Temple beneath the mercy seat was the ark of the covenant God’s footstool which contained the Ten Commandments
Exo 25:21 Rev 11:19 which represents our overcoming the bondage of sin and purification in Christ- overcoming sin through Christ and our reconciliation
Rev 22:14
His way is in the sanctuary
Psalm 77:13 and it truly is the plan of salvation. The earthy temple ending never meant anything because God’s Heavenly Temple is much more Glorious not made with human hands.
Heb 8:1-5 always symbolizing a much deeper meaning and the showing us the plan of salvation.
