“Yes, and God also "inhabits the praises of His people". Does that mean He builds a house, somehow, within the sound of our music? No, of course not.”
brother this isn’t a fair comparison
“The LORD is in his holy temple, The LORD's throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.”
Psalm 11:4
That isnt the same as this “
“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.”
Psalm 22:3 KJV
That’s really not intellectually valid to make those two comparisons brother you can’t really dismiss one with the other because they aren’t the same one has consistent doctrine from genesis chapter 1 to revelation 21 throughout
….here’s all im trying to get across consider it don’t overthink and dismiss it until you note how consistent and continual
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”( 2 parts )
Genesis 1:1
“The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's:
But the earth hath he given to the children of men.”( 2 parts )
Psalm 115:16 KJV
heaven
“The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.”
Psalm 103:19 KJV
earth
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:26 KJV
shortly after
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”
Genesis 6:5-6
“The LORD is in his holy temple, The LORD's throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.”( on earth )
Psalm 11:4
“The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: There is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
Psalm 14:2-3
“And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.”
Genesis 11:5 KJV
“And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.”
Exodus 34:5
“And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.”
Exodus 19:20
Do you notice how heaven is consistently spoken of as a place Gods habitation ? His kingdom ? Where God watches mankind on earth ? Sometimes comes down ?
“And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.”
Genesis 11:5-8 KJV
all im saying brother is there’s another place a better place beyond death after we die with Jesus and it’s in heaven . And it’s always been Gods habitation as you see the ot started but look what the nt states
“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”
John 6:38 KJV
“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
John 14:2-3 KJV
“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
Mark 16:19
“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. ………. this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”
Acts 1:9, 11
Brother do you see how I’m saying there are two realms of creation ? That’s why this
“But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?…. it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body,
and there is a spiritual body.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, ( while we lived on earth )
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1 Corinthians 15:35 KJV
Our flesh will die but our spirit will return to the lord to the heavenly Jerusalem where Jesus is …..
“but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
Hebrews 12:22-24
Brother “ the kingdom is within you “ doesn’t change the fact that the Bible clearly says heaven is the place where God exists where angels and redeemed people are even right now in Gods kingdom
the “the kingdom is within you “ was for the generation who wouldnt see it arrive physically but they would receive the lord in spirit at pentocost within them
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV
Note that heaven is another realm it’s not just you keep going up and find it heaven sometimes is opened for a moment the other realm becomes visable for a moment
“Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.”
Ezekiel 1:1 KJV
“Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.”
Luke 3:21-22
“But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,”
Acts 7:55 KJV
Finally brother
“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
Hebrews 11:13, 16 KJV
clearly this present earth isnt our home or inheritance but all have died in faith not receiving the promises but seeing them far off knowing they are strangers on earth just pilgrims passing through on a journey home where to? To Zion
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
“but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,”
Hebrews 12:22 KJV
Angels have a habitation also even if we say some other thing like “ you have the voice of an angel “ this doesn’t change the fact that angels have a habitation on heaven and it’s with the lord and it’s an actual place where God dwells
he only sent his spirit to be with us brother one day we’re going home and will see in full
