Mat 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mat 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
Mat 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Mat 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Did they get that one right or should we say they were wrong and and then interpret it allegorically?
Was Zachariah wrong?
Was the Holy Spirit mistaken as He spoke through him?
Luk 1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Luk 1:68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Luk 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Luk 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
Luk 1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
Luk 1:72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
Luk 1:73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
Luk 1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
Luk 1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
Act 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Did GOD dwell in the Tabernacle?
Did GOD bless and demonstrate His presence in Solomon's Temple?
Either the OT accounts are wrong or you misunderstand Solomon's declaration.
What is meant is that GOD's Being is not and cannot be confined or limited to a dwelling place made with hands. Solomon, Isaiah, Stephen and the Apostle Paul are referring to GOD's 'immensity', not His lack of ability to manifest His presence in a stone temple.
The heavens were created along with the earth and yet GOD stated that He dwells there and that the earth is His footstool. Again...this emphasizes His immensity.
Since heaven is a created realm, one of your thinking could just as well say that it is impossible for GOD to dwell in heaven. Even 'heaven', being a part of creation is necessarily finite/limited. Yet, GOD's Being is necessarily infinite/unlimited. How can the infinite be contained in what is finite?
Your thinking is all off, for you, if I recall correctly, do not believe that the Lord Jesus is GOD. Of course according to your thinking, if GOD cannot dwell in a stone temple then He likewise could not dwell in a tabernacle of flesh.
Of course I do.
You wanta' know why?
I can read.
Eze 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever
