Acts 7:44-50 - God's Real Tabernacle

⁴⁴ our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, ordering Moses to make it according to the model that he had seen. ⁴⁵ which our fathers and Joshua having receiv'd, they carry'd it into the territory of those nations whom God drove out upon their arrival: where it staid to the time of David, who was favoured by God, ⁴⁶ and desired to have a settled tabernacle for the God of Jacob. ⁴⁷ it was Solomon however that built him a temple. ⁴⁸ altho' the most high does not dwell in temples made with hands; as the prophet said, "heaven is my throne,

⁴⁹ and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? ⁵⁰ hath not my hand made all these things?"
