God's Omnipresence and his Special Presence

Sermons by Bob Vincent and Others

Solomon confesses- -The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built-- -2 Chronicles 6-18- God is present everywhere, yet he is distinct from his creation. The Bible does not teach pantheism.--Also, there is a special presence of God. We see this throughout the 18th chapter of Genesis. The LORD -God's proper name, Yahweh- comes with two angels to visit with Abraham. The LORD and his two angels eat and drink what Abraham has provided -Genesis 18-8-.--The LORD also spoke mouth to mouth to Moses, and Moses saw his form ---------- t-m-n-h-, which the Greek Septuagint renders as his glory ------doxa- -Numbers 12-8-.--That does not mean the Moses saw God in all his glory, as is clear in Exodus 33-20-23 and in 1 Timothy 6-16.--What did Stephen see-- -I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God- -Acts 7-56-.
