Exo. 40:34-35; 2 Chron. 5:14

Here, to abide is to remain for manifestation. When the people of Israel erected the tabernacle and when they built the temple, the glory of God descended upon the tabernacle and the temple to abide there, to remain there, to be manifested to the people (Exo. 40:33-35; 1 Kings 8:10-11). Today the church is the place where God’s glory abides to be manifested (Eph. 3:21).
