(From godreports.com, Nov. 26, 2025, by Riley Gonzalez) Pastor Zhang Rongliang in China says that the Beijing ancient Temple of Heaven actually was dedicated to the Jewish/Christian God Shaddai of the Bible.
“At the Temple of Heaven, Heaven here refers to China’s highest ruler, meaning China’s God,” Rongliang says on Radical, per translation. “This is the very place that emperors would come to pray. This was their place of worship. Many have observed this place and find that it resembles the temple of the Bible.”
As the church in China explodes in growth, Chinese Christian leaders say that the bedrock faith in China is NOT Buddhism, NOT Confucianism, NOT Daoism and certainly NOT Atheism. They say it is Christianity, which gives precedent to the blessing of God being poured out over the nation currently.
Scholars believe the temple was constructed during 1406-1420 during the Ming Dynasty, well after Nestorian Christianity was established in China. Located in southeastern central Beijing, the temple stands out for its lack of idols, adhering to the Bible in this regard.
It is dedicated to Shang Di, which Christians note sounds eerily similar to Shaddai, which means God Almighty in Hebrew.
