“ But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

So who is able to build a temple for him? After all, the heavens can’t hold him. In fact, not even the highest heavens can hold him. So who am I to build a temple for him? It will only be a place to burn sacrifices in front of him.

Who can hide in secret places so that I can’t see them?” announces the Lord.“ Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” announces the Lord.

The Lord says,“ Heaven is my throne. The earth is under my control. So how could you ever build a house for me? Where would my resting place be?

“ But the Most High God does not live in houses made by human hands. As God says through the prophet,“‘ Heaven is my throne. The earth is under my control. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Where will my resting place be?

How can I get away from your Spirit? Where can I go to escape from you?If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I lie down in the deepest parts of the earth, you are also there.Suppose I were to rise with the sun in the east. Suppose I travel to the west where it sinks into the ocean.Your hand would always be there to guide me. Your right hand would still be holding me close.Suppose I were to say,“ I’m sure the darkness will hide me. The light around me will become as dark as night.”Even that darkness would not be dark to you. The night would shine like the day, because darkness is like light to you.You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother’s body.How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well.None of my bones was hidden from you when you made me inside my mother’s body. That place was as dark as the deepest parts of the earth. When you were putting me together there,your eyes saw my body even before it was formed. You planned how many days I would live. You wrote down the number of them in your book before I had lived through even one of them.

The Lord is honored over all the nations. His glory reaches to the highest heavens.

The Word became a human being. He made his home with us. We have seen his glory. It is the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father. And the Word was full of grace and truth.

“ He is the God who made the world. He also made everything in it. He is the Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn’t live in temples built by human hands.

The heavens belong to the Lord your God. Even the highest heavens belong to him. He owns the earth and everything in it.

“ But will God really live on earth with human beings? After all, the heavens can’t hold you. In fact, even the highest heavens can’t hold you. So this temple I’ve built certainly can’t hold you!

I know a believer in Christ who was taken up to the third heaven 14 years ago. I don’t know if his body was taken up or not. Only God knows.

How can the temple of the true God and the statues of other gods agree? We are the temple of the living God. God has said,“ I will live with them. I will walk among them. I will be their God. And they will be my people.”( Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27)
