"And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God."
(Revelation 21:3)
The great covenant promise God made first to Abraham and then to all of his people throughout redemptive history is now a glorious reality. Promise has become fulfillment. Type and shadow have become reality. God dwells with his people, who are fully redeemed and glorified, forever safe from peril and danger. God’s people have at long last entered the promised land and begin their Sabbath rest. With God’s people dwelling in his presence, all effects of human sin the curse are now gone.
