A spectacular 1611 marginal note exists at I MACCABEES 2:12 next to the word “Sanctuarie” (emphasis on the capital "S"). The translators clarify that the original word can also be properly translated as “holy thing.” In context, Mattathias was lamenting the destruction of Jerusalem's holy temple: “And behold, our Sanctuarie, euen our beautie, aud our glory is laid waste, & the Gentiles haue profaned it” [I MACCABEES 2:12 (spellings from the 1611 maintained for emphasis)]. An awe-inspiring spiritual application can be drawn here regarding our Lord and Saviour. Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy human “Sanctuarie” of LORD JEHOVAH God of Israel, was also “laid waste” and “profaned” by being crucified on a Roman (Gentile) cross. With this insight, we can draw a legitimate connection that the “holy thing…called the Son of God” [LUKE 1:35] is a physical, fleshly Sanctuary (emphasis on the capital S). Jesus' prophetic statement in JOHN 2:19-21 to “raise it [the temple of his body] up” after “three days” makes this a perfect symbolic resolution to the tragedy described in this historical account of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire.
