Psalms 27:4-5 One thing have I desired of the LORD that will I seek after; 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 enquire in His Temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me upon a rock.
Does that mean we should seek to bodily, literally, abide in a church, on a pew, forever? To receive a fuller understanding of those two verses consider.....
We, as children of God, should seek to dwell in His house, His Temple, His tabernacle. During the "time of trouble," which is Satan's great tribulation at the end of this age...we are "hidden in His pavilion," which is His tabernacle. How are we hidden?
"In the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me upon a rock."
When He "sets us upon a rock," that Rock is Jesus. The "secret of His tabernacle" where we will be hidden during that tribulation is....in His tabernacle, in His body. He is in us and we in Him. We will be the holy Temple with Him if He dwells in us.
