45. God's promise to dwell among the children of Israel














I will also meet with the Israelites there
This phrase emphasizes God's intention to establish a personal and communal relationship with the Israelites. The "there" refers to the Tabernacle, a central place of worship and divine encounter. The Tabernacle was a portable sanctuary used by the Israelites during their desert wanderings, symbolizing God's presence among His people. This meeting signifies God's desire for intimacy and guidance, echoing His covenant promises. It parallels the New Testament concept of God dwelling among His people through Jesus Christ (John 1:14) and the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16).

and that place will be consecrated by My glory
The consecration of the Tabernacle by God's glory indicates a divine setting apart for holy purposes. "Glory" here refers to the visible manifestation of God's presence, often depicted as a cloud or fire (Exodus 40:34-35). This consecration underscores the holiness required for worship and the seriousness of approaching God. It foreshadows the ultimate consecration through Christ, whose sacrifice sanctifies believers (Hebrews 10:10). The concept of God's glory filling a place is also seen in the dedication of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 8:10-11), reinforcing the continuity of God's presence with His people throughout biblical history.

Teaching Points
God's Desire for Relationship
God desires to meet with His people and establish a relationship with them. This is a consistent theme throughout Scripture, showing His love and commitment.

The Importance of Holiness
The tabernacle is consecrated by God's glory, emphasizing the need for holiness in places and lives dedicated to God. We are called to live holy lives as His dwelling place.

The Manifestation of God's Glory
God's glory is transformative and sanctifying. When we encounter His presence, it changes us and sets us apart for His purposes.

Continuity of God's Presence
From the tabernacle to the temple, and ultimately in Christ, God's presence is a central theme. We are now the temple of the Holy Spirit, carrying His presence wherever we go.

Anticipation of God's Ultimate Dwelling
The promise of God dwelling with His people finds its ultimate fulfillment in the new creation, where His presence will be fully realized.(43) The tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.--See Exodus 40:34-35; and comp. Leviticus 9:24; 1Kings 8:10-11; 2Chronicles 5:13-14; 2Chronicles 7:2.

Verses 43-46. - GOD'S PROMISES. The chapter terminates with a parenthetic insertion of various promises, intended to cheer the Israelites under the hard circumstances of their wanderings in the wilderness, and growing out of the mention of the tabernacle as "the tabernacle of meeting" (ver. 42). "There," says God, "He will meet, not only Moses, to speak to him, but also the children of Israel, to receive their offerings, hear their prayers, and grant their requests. There will he meet them, and there his glory shall be; and the tabernacle shall be thereby sanctified. He will sanctify both the tabernacle and the altar; he will sanctify, moreover, both Aaron and his sons; and he will dwell among the children of Israel, and be their God; and they shall know him." Very precious and gracious promises, made absolutely; though, as the result showed (2 Chronicles 36:14-18), contingent on their obedience; and faithfully performed, as long as even a remnant was obedient, during a space of above seven hundred years from the Exodus to the Captivity! Verse 43. - There will I meet the children of Israel. Lay Israelites might not enter the tabernacle, and could only "meet God" at its entrance, when they brought their sacrifices to the altar. He promises, however, to meet them on these occasions with favour and. acceptance. The tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. Compare Exodus 40:34. The presence of the Shechinah was the true sanctification of the tabernacle - all the rest was mere type and figure. God not only "put his name there," but put his presence there visibly.
