Acts 7

44 Our ancestors had the Tabernacle of Testimony*7:44. Meaning that it gave God’s message, and provided evidence of his presence. in the desert. God had told Moses how he should make it following the blueprint he had seen. 45 Later on, our forefathers carried it with them when they went in with Joshua to occupy the land taken from the nations the Lord drove out before them. It stayed there until the time of David. 46 David found favor with God and asked to make a more permanent home for the God of Jacob. 47 But it was Solomon who built a Temple*7:47. Literally, "house." for him. 48 Of course the Almighty doesn’t live in temples we make. As the prophet said, 49 ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth the place I put my feet. What kind of dwelling could you build for me?’ the Lord asks. ‘What bed could you make for me to rest in? 50 Didn’t I make everything?’*7:50. Quoting Isaiah 66:1-2.
