HABITATION

HABITATION God is the habitation of his people, who find rest and safety in him (Psalm 71=>3; 91=>9). Justice and judgment are the habitation of God’s throne (Psalm 89=>14, Hebrews mekhon, “foundation”), because all his acts are founded on justice and judgment. (See Psalm 132=>5, 13; Ephesians 2=>22, of Canaan, Jerusalem, and the temple as God’s habitation.) God inhabits eternity (Isaiah 57=>15), i.e., dwells not only among men, but in eternity, where time is unknown; and “the praises of Israel” (Psalm 22=>3), i.e., he dwells among those praises and is continually surrounded by them.
