There is no temple in "the eternity" as you put it. This great multitude in Revelation 7 has been gathering in heaven/Paradise since the Cross. This includes all the OT redeemed. They don't need the Holy Spirit in Paradise. They have already been redeemed into permanent incorruptible physical bodies.The ones both groups appear in. I believe the sealing of the 144k takes place prior to the GT as the sealing is used to protect them during that time. The multitude is seen in the eternity, clues to the proper timeframe located in the passage. Rev isn't chronological so one must use the text to identify the correct timeframe.
You are as bad as posters who say people don't go to heaven until after the Millennium. The time frame in Revelation 7:9-17 started at the Cross and will continue in heaven until the end of Millennium.
Revelation is chronological, so no one can just make up their own chronology by guessing the textual context. Revelation never gives us an explicit wording for the time reference for Jacob's Trouble called the GT by many. The first 6 Trumpets are Jacob's Trouble, the JT. The church is not even on the earth after the 5th Seal. That is why they are seen in heaven as the great multitude after the 6th Seal, while the 144k are sealed on the earth, before Jacob's Trouble even starts. The tribulation of "those days" and the great tribulation has been the "church age" since the Cross.
