"thy dwelling place" 3 Kings 8:30


Where Did Jesus Go? · "thy dwelling place" 3 Kings 8:30

That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.

Someone writing CMI, a D. S. from Brazil, states this is uncreated:

since 1 Kings* 8:30 says it’s God’s dwelling place and, therefore, eternal, not created.


What does the Bible mean by “heaven of heavens”?

I am here not going into the response of Keaton Halley, but simply stating, this is wrong.

God in and of His eternal nature cannot need a dwelling place. He is perfectly corporeal. His dwelling place is where He sits as in a throne room. In the Old Testament, God resided as in a theophany. He was adored by angels, right there, the pearly gates being closed to men, since Adam sinned. In the New Testament, since Ascension, Christ in His human nature is present on this throne. He is adored by the Blessed Virgin Mary, risen like Her Son, by angels, by the souls of faithful awaiting to be present also in body, once they are resurrected.

Hence, the dwelling place of which 3 Kings 8:30 speaks is not just created, but material and in three dimensional space./HGL

* A certain text mass was by the Jews divided into Samuel and Kings, two books, then by Christians into four books, first to fourth Kings. Since first and second Kings are what the Jews called Samuel, the Protestants call them first and second Samuel, and renumber the remainder as "first and second" instead of third and fourth Kings.
