God’s presence was initially given to individual people. But starting from Abraham, the presence is given to the nations through Abraham. When God showed himself to the people of Israel, He is going to first dwell among the people through the tabernacle in Exod. 25:8. a. God dwelling in the Tabernacle The tabernacle, which is the same word “dwelling” in John 1:14. It was a portable sanctuary representing God’s presence with his people.

disciplines those who disobey Him. Psalm 145 states that God is righteous and that He exhibits love through His works. Some of these deeds are seen in Psalm 146 which tells of the Lord’s will to feed the hungry, heal the blind, and set prisoners free. Proverbs 8:17 speaks of God’s love for all who love Him and even His willingness to be found by those who seek Him. God’s love and faithfulness are explicitly stated in Exodus 34:6 to Moses and also in Psalm 86:15, both of which speak of His…

the rules we want to follow and not follow. We have to follow ALL in order to get God’s blessings. We get blessed anyways because no one is perfect and although we follow God and get saved, we still all sin and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), no matter age, sex, race, or size (Romans 10:12). Although we all sin and fall short, we should still try our best to live how Jesus did (1 John 2:6, Luke…

children. (Psalms 34:7; Psalms 91:11) When Jesus talked about some little children, He referred to “Their angels” (Matt. 18:10). Now, it’s altogether possible that He was referring to a group of angels in heaven rather than each person having an angel assigned to them.

During the years before the completion of the written Word, angels delivered messages (Acts 27:23-24).…

Old pagan deities are banished and a chaotic war-torn world is silenced by the arrival of the infant Christ. The transition from old to new and Milton’s personal interests are best exemplified by the eighth stanza of the ode where a group of…
