Casa de Deus
A casa de Deus é lugar de adoração, refúgio e encontro com o Sagrado. A Bíblia exalta o tabernáculo, o templo e a igreja como morada do Altíssimo entre seu povo.
A presença de Deus
Quão amáveis são os teus tabernáculos! Uma coisa pedi ao Senhor: habitar na casa do Senhor todos os dias da minha vida.
Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him;
That glory may dwell in our land.
Give them according to their works,
And according to the wickedness of their devices:
Give them according to the works of their hands;
Render their recompense unto them.
Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee;
Let them sing to thy name. Pause.
A Song of Degrees.
Unto thee who dwellest in heaven
Have I lifted up mine eyes.
This is the generation of them that seek him,
That seek the face of the God of Jacob. Pause.
O templo
Minha casa será chamada casa de oração. O zelo da tua casa me consumiu. O verdadeiro templo é o corpo do cristão.
Thus saith the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of a house will ye build me? and of what kind is to be the place of my rest? For all these things are mine, saith the Lord: and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the man that trembles at my words?
And Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
