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.
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
Blessed istheman You choose,
And cause to approach You,
That he may dwell in Your courts.
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Of Your holy temple.
The Joy of Going to the House of the Lord
I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go into the house of the Lord."
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
But I amlike a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
O templo
Minha casa será chamada casa de oração. O zelo da tua casa me consumiu. O verdadeiro templo é o corpo do cristão.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, "It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ "
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!"Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up."
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit whois in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
but if I am delayed, Iwrite so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
God’s True Tabernacle
"Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen, which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David, who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built Him a house.
"However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:
‘Heavenis My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest?
Has My hand not made all these things?’
True Worship and False
Thus says the Lord:
"Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?
For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,"
Says the Lord.
"But on this one will I look:
On himwhois poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it." And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!"
