We are set free from our bonds to surface appearances when we are made fully conscious of God\u2019s Presence, since we then understand everything in holy relationship with Ultimate Reality, the Ground and Source of all life (Acts 17:28). As it says in our Scriptures: \u201cWe look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen: For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal\u201d (2 Cor. 4:18). Therefore God says in our Torah, \u201cMake for me a sacred place (\u05de\u05b4\u05e7\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1) so I can dwell within you\u201d (Exod. 25:8). Each of us is created to be a \u201cmishkan,\u201d that is, a dwelling place for God. Making a sanctuary of the heart means choosing to stay connected with reality, attuning the heart to hear the Voice of the Spirit, and consciously walking before the Divine Presence.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1441\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/exod25-8-analysis.gif?resize=415%2C545&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"415\" height=\"545\" \/><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1439-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/exod25-8-jjp.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/exod25-8-jjp.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/exod25-8-jjp.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sages have said that salvation may be likened to rebirth that delivers us from the \u201cnarrow places of Egypt\u201d (i.e., from mitzrayim: -\u05de, &#8220;from,&#8221; and \u05e6\u05b7\u05e8, &#8220;narrow&#8221;) into newness of life&#8230; The first step of lasting deliverance (\u05d9\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e2\u05b8\u05d4) is to receive the great revelation: \u201cI AM the Lord your God\u201d (\u05d0\u05b8\u05e0\u05db\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05d4\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8) which [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-dvar","category-holidays"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1439\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
