Sanctuary

"Denotes, (1) the Holy Land (Ex. 15:17; comp. Ps. 114:2); (2) the" temple (1 Chr. 22:19; 2 Chr. 29:21); (3) the tabernacle (Ex. "25:8; Lev. 12:4; 21:12); (4) the holy place, the place of the" "Presence (Gr. hieron, the temple-house; not the naos, which is" "the temple area, with its courts and porches), Lev. 4:6; Eph." "2:21, R.V., marg.; (5) God's holy habitation in heaven (Ps." "102:19). In the final state there is properly "no sanctuary" "(Rev. 21:22), for God and the Lamb "are the sanctuary" (R.V.," temple). All is there hallowed by the Divine Presence; all is sancturary.
