Significant Words and Comments:
Commentary on Revelation 21:3 (18 July 2008):  “I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,” is, “Yehuveh’s anointed instructors heard a great clarification from Yehuveh’s protection, saying . . . .” Voice and heaven, see Revelation 4:1.
       
“Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with men,” verifies that all the redeemed and restored people will trust in and rely on Elohim from this time forward for ever. Tabernacle simply indicates a habitation, a place of long-term dwelling, as discussed by Revelation 13:6. Elohim, study the notes on Daniel 11:8 and Revelation 1:1 and 19:4.
       
“He will dwell with them,” is, Yehuveh Elohim Himself will remain with these righteous people forever. “As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so Yehuveh is round about His people from henceforth even for ever.” “Yehuveh shall reign for ever, even thy Elohim, O Zion, unto all generations.” Dwell, from skenoo [G4637], means to “abide or live in a habitation,” and is used only four times in Revelation [7:15; 12:12; 13:6; 21:3]. Psalms 125:2 [also Psalms 34:7; Deuteronomy 33:27; Isaiah 4:5; Zechariah 2:5]; Psalms 146:10.
       
“They shall be His people, and Yehuveh Himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim.” Jeremiah 31:33 provides the conditions: “This shall be the covenant that I will make . . . after those days, saith Yehuveh, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.” Also study Genesis 17:7-8; Jeremiah 32:38; and Zechariah 13:9.
