The following is a clip from a lecture by Robert R. Cargill, Ph.D. in his course, "Jerusalem, the Holy City" on April 27, 2010 at UCLA.
This lecture discusses the concept of 'name theology' as it pertains to the Jerusalem Temple and the worship of God after the exile.
By the way, I hope this is posted by Dr. Cargill, is this his channel? Or is this a site by a student?

Question: In John's account, Jesus declares that he will destroy "this temple and build it in three days." After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he said and believed the scriptures. To what is John referring? If the building in Jerusalem was where God's name was residing, then clearly Jesus was claiming his body was the place where God was residing, yes? No? God's presence went with them in the portable tabernacle, but the building was what?
