“A Place For The LORD, A Habitation For The Mighty God”
Reference: Psalms Chapter 132
God created men and women to be His habitation, His dwelling place. Adam was the dwelling place of God until he fell.
God could not dwell in us because we had the nature of Adam. So God made the Second Adam (Jesus Christ) to dwell in Him.
Hebrews 10:5 “Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me.”
God prepared Himself a body to dwell in. This is the man Christ Jesus.
After Jesus Christ settled the debt of sin on the Cross, He made it possible for God to come and dwell in the believer. This is because the nature of the believer is changed from Adamic to Christ. The believer is no longer Adam-like but Christ-like (Christian).
The believer has divorced Adam and become one with Christ.
This transformation allowed God to come and dwell in the believers on the Day of Pentecost.
Acts 2:12-18 “And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? [13] Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. [14] But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: [15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. [16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: [18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”
After the believers have received God, they begun to teach, heal, and love like God.
Acts 3:2-7 “And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; [3] Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. [4] And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. [5] And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. [6] Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. [7] And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.”
David laments, he will not go to sleep or slumber, until he finds a habitation for God.
Let’s read:
Psalm 132:1-5 “LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions: [2] How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; [3] Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; [4] I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, [5] Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.”
That was God, dwelling temporary in physical tabernacles. God was going to dwell perpetually in man again. The Second man being Christ.
We continue our reading:.
Psalm 132:6 “Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.”
It was out of the same place Ephratah, that the True Tabernacle of God was revealed .
Micah 5:2 “But thou, Beth–lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”
In Christ, God was dwelling in one Tabernacle. Today, in believers, God is dwelling in billions of tabernacles.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 132:7-14 “We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. [8] Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. [9] Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. [10] For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. [11] The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. [12] If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. [13] For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. [14] This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.”
God will not just dwell in Zion (Jerusalem). God will be dwelling in His people (believers) in the New Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:1-3 “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”
The plan of God will have fully completed. God is dwelling in His children again just like originally planned in the Garden of Eden.
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 132:15-18 “I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. [16] I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. [17] There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. [18] His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.”
When God comes to dwell in a man or woman, they are clothed with salvation, satisfied with bread, and flourished with joy.
Become a tabernacle of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ your sample Tabernacle of God as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. God tabernacling in believers, in Christ!
