Or, absolutely, were things made; and therefore belong to Me, the Creator [JEROME]. look--have regard. poor--humble (Isa 57:15). trembleth at . . . word-- (Kg2 22:11, Kg2 22:19; Ezr 9:4). The spiritual temple of the heart, though not superseding the outward place of worship, is God's favorite dwelling (Joh 14:23). In the final state in heaven there shall be "no temple," but "the Lord God" Himself (Rev 21:22).
