Here one of God's messengers at Minneapolis makes his case on God's eternal purpose in the Sanctuary, and the high destiny of being an habitation of God through the Spirit. The prophecy of Ezekiel is still dependent on a people ready and willing to be made the dwelling place of the Spirit: "And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes" (36:23).
