The Holy Spirit fills the Church, just as He once filled the Tabernacle and the Temple. God is declaring, This is My new dwelling place.

The Temple was where God was glorified, where people met with Him, and where all nations were welcomed. Now, a new people are formed to carry this purpose forward to make the world new.

Pentecost marks the beginning of God’s new project of re-creation. God's desire has always been to dwell among his people.
