The Tabernacle and the Temple


I recently came across this quotation in the Torah Club commentary (Vol 5, p393):

"Moses said to God: "Will not the time come when Israel shall have neither Tabernacle nor Temple? What will happen with them then?" The divine reply was, "I will then take one of their righteous men and retain him as a pledge on their behalf, in order that I may pardon all their sins." (Exodus Rabbah 35.4)
