Jesus cleanses the temple

John 2:13-22
I believe the figurative picture Jesus was trying to convey in this passage was about how His body, "the temple of God" would be destroyed and raised in 3 days. Therefor not needing the temple to sacrifice animals anymore, as He soon would be the ultimate sacrifice!
I have a concept about this, may be completely heretical, but here I go. :) Jesus spoke figuratively of His body as the temple of God. When Jesus was raised from the dead, He gave us His spirit, so we are the temple of Jesus' spirit. In that, God sees Christ when He sees us, When He sees Christ, He is Christ, but also God, because God is in Him, He is is God. To sum that up "If Christ is in us, we are Him. If Christ is in God, God in in Christ, so we are in God. Ok that may make no sense to anyone, but me, but my mind is going crazy with this thought! I love it!
