things.

or abusing the text for our own purposes.

So very briefly, what's the story of the Bible? God wants to dwell with humanity on the earth.

He makes the world to be a temple.

That's why the Bible talks in architectural house building metaphor all over the place about the heavens and the earth.

It's not because these were ancients who didn't know any better.

It's because they knew something that we have forgotten, which is that God wants to make a home And when he abides in glory with Adam and Eve in the garden, we need to understand Eden is a sanctuary.

Hmm.
