Ps 17:14 From MEN which are THY HAND, O LORD, from MEN OF THE WORLD, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible seems to distinguish between the Hand of God and the Hand of the Enemy which would be Babylon. With that understanding, it should be safe to conclude that Temples made WITH HANDS would be a reference to the false gospels that surface in the church. Where as those made WITHOUT HANDS, in the context, would be without the Hands of men (Babylon).
