Bible Question: In Revelation 21:3, what does and God Himself mean |
Bible Answer: Hi Sam Welcome to the Forum! The Commentary Critical offers this: "dwell with them—literally, “tabernacle with them”; the same Greek word as is used of the divine Son “tabernacling among us.” Then He was in the weakness of the flesh: but at the new creation of heaven and earth He shall tabernacle among us in the glory of His manifested Godhead (Rev 22:4)." A.T. Robertson has this insight: "And He shall dwell with them...used of the Incarnate Christ on earth by John (1:14), now a blessed reality of the Father. The metaphor stands for the Shekinah Glory of God in the old tabernacle (7:15; 13:6; 15:5), the true tabernacle of which it was a picture (Heb. 8:2; 9:11). God is now Immanuel in fact, as was true of Christ (Matt. 1:23)." I hope this helps, BradK |
