Revelation21:3

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God .

What is said here, is applicable to the Church of God in this Life, yea to every true Believer, whose Body is said to be the Temple of the Lord, and in whom the Lord dwells, according to the phrase of the Holy Ghost, in many places of the New-Testament; of whom it is also true, that God [illegible: 1 word] with them, and will be their God; but more especially applicable to the Church-Triumphant, as dwelling signifies a constancy of abode, and more full manifestation of a person. The state of the Saints in Glory, is thus described by a being ever with the Lord, 1 Thess. 4.17.

Marginal references: Lev. 26.11, 12. Ezek. 43.7. 2 Cor. 6.16.
