8:10-11 As the priests came out of the Holy Place, they were greeted with music praising the Lord (2 Chr 5:11-14). Previously, the glorious presence of the Lord had filled the Tabernacle (Exod 40:34-35). Now it filled the Temple to show that God was again dwelling among his people. Ezekiel recorded its later departure from the Temple (Ezek 10:18-19), to return at a blessed future time (Ezek 43:1-5). In the New Testament, John wrote that God dwells among his people through his son, Jesus Christ (John 1:14). Paul affirmed that Christ now dwells in each believer (Col 1:27) as a foretaste of a future when “God’s home is . . . among his people” (Rev 21:3).
