Will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth?

2Ch 6:18

The short answer is YES! Perhaps the question should read; Will God dwell AGAIN with mankind on the earth? The response is, once again, yes! On at least two occasions, God has walked here on earth among men. In the garden of Eden, {Ge 3:8}, and within the human body of Jesus of Nazareth. {Lk 2:11} God was manifest in the Spirit many times throughout the Old Testament. We are in the end times. Very soon, everyone will see the return to the earth of He who created all that is or will ever be. Some will be very joyous, others, not so much.

God walked with and talked with Abraham, the father of whom would be the chosen people of the Lord {Genesis Chapters 12-25}

God made His earthly presence known in the burning bush to Moses; {Exodus Chapter 3}

"Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them." {Exo 25:8} Man obeyed and built the first tabernacle. This sanctuary was portable, called the Tent of meeting. {Exodus Chapters 26 and 27}

"I will meet there with the sons of Israel, and it shall be consecrated by My glory. (45) "I will dwell among the sons of Israel and will be their God. {Exo 29:43, 45}

Jesus the Christ was fully man and fully God. For thirty three years He breathed the same air and walked the same earth as mankind did. The witness of His presence with us on earth is undeniable. His life and His death was the perfect atonement in blood that corrected the horrible error of Adam, through which sin and death was ushered into this world and into the seed of mankind. His suffering and death on the cross at Calvary made it possible to finally, once and for all time, to escape the bondage and eternal death earned us by Adam's fall.

Those who believe, who have taken into their heart the salvation promise of our Lord, these precious souls became the sanctuary, the tabernacle, the temple through the in-dwelling Spirit of Jesus the Christ. In 2nd Corinthians Chapter six, verse sixteen we read; ..For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? {1Co 6:19}

In whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. {Eph 2:22} -- "And the nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever."'" { Eze 37:28}

How wonderful it is, as a believer, to be within 12-inches of the living God at all times and at all places. You see, it is precisely 12-inches from the center of your mind to the center of your heart--where HE dwells within you. You are the temple in whom lives the Almighty God!
