0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net.
0:04.3	Second Chronicles chapter 3, verse 8, and he made the most holy place.
0:10.1	Its length corresponding to the breadth of the house was 20 cubits, and its breadth was 20 cubits.
0:17.9	When you read this verse and you hear the dimensions of the most holy place, which was the center
0:24.5	of the temple, so the place where the glory of God dwelled, presence of God, in the middle of his
0:32.5	people, you see this picture of basically a cube, length corresponding to the breadth of the house,
0:39.4	20 cubits, its breadth was 20 cubits. What's really interesting is when you get to the book of
0:44.2	Revelation and you see the dimensions of heaven described in Revelation 21 and 22, you see the

1:42.6	of God, like the whole imagery of heaven and Revelation chapter 21 from the very beginning of
1:49.4	that chapter, behold, the dwelling of God is with man, and he will dwell with them. God himself
1:56.8	will be with them as their God. The awesome thing about heaven, the hope to which we all
2:04.4	along who have placed our faith in Jesus is that one day we are going to experience perfect,
2:11.6	pure, uninterrupted, uninhibited communion with God for all of eternity free from sin, free from
2:21.5	sorrow, free from death, free from mourning, free from pain, free from crying, all the fallen
2:28.0	things of this world will have passed away, and we will experience eternal, perfect communion
