The picture comes from a view of 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. The reality that we do not ascend up a mountain top to meet with God nor do we have to visit a temple, but that we are now the temple of God. The smoke is the mystery of being filled with the presence of God. This is a new relationship between humanity and God that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ, being united with him through the Holy Spirit. The simplicity in this picture is like the simple relationship we have with Christ. On the surface not much, but the deeper you dig the richer it becomes.
