You cannot find God in land, in nations, in empires, in obeying rules, in a tabernacle, in a temple, in a sacrificial system, in a theological system, or in a church building.
You can only find God in the new and eternal temple, Jesus the Christ.
He is One God sent to us.
Only when you seek Him in faith will you find Him in your heart.
That’s where God lives.
