Proper Exegesis: What is the Object of God’s “Choosing”
“Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. ”
The translators of this verse made the assumption that the object is man or the individual. God chose man. But if you look closely at the verse, there are many words in italics. This means the words do not appear in the manuscript. Try reading that verse without the italicized words. What if the object is not man but God Himself? What if God chose to dwell with man?
“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.” ~ Revelation 21:3
