Hello Everyone,

It has been God’s desire since the creation of man to have a dwelling place among man.

God dwelling with man is the major theme of the Bible.

In Genesis God walked with Adam in the cool of the day.

In Exodus 25:1-9 God says build me a sanctuary and I will dwell with you read with me.

1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from each man whose heart prompts him to give. 3 These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze; 4 blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; 5 ram skins dyed red and hides of sea cows; acacia wood; 6 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 7 and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breast piece.

8 "Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. 9 Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.

The Tabernacle was a “sanctuary” a place set apart for the Lord to dwell among and meet with His people.

God’s GLORY was over the Tabernacle day and night. When God’s Glory moved, Israel had to move.

But a Tabernacle was not good enough so God came personally.

John 1:14

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

And at the end of time in eternity we will dwell with God and He with us for ever! Read with me.

Revelation 21:3

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying. Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people and, God Himself will be with them and be their God.

What a day that will be!

Oh How HE Loves Us!
