God's Dwelling

Reading in the Revelation for Advent…

And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

How about that? And who are those who dwell in Heaven?

But God, being rich in mercy, ...made us alive together with Christ...and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus…
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem…
Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Heavy.
