The Temple, source of life

From Matthew Levering’s book Jesus and the Demise of Death: Resurrection, Afterlife, and the Fate of the Christian:

Israel’s Temple [is like] as a new Eden. [Jon] Levenson observes that “death is as alien to the Temple, indeed, as repugnant to the Temple, as it is to Eden.” This is so because of the opposition between holiness and death. God’s activity in and through the Temple is life-giving, not death-dealing.

If this is so of the Jerusalem Temple, how much more its antitype, the Temple which is the body of our Lord JESUS Christ?
