Where Is The House Of God :...........................This is none other but the House of God, and this is the gate of heaven................... All the souls [see What Does The Bible Really Say About Your Soul?] that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacobs sons wives, all the souls were threescore and six; 46:27 And the sons of Joseph [see A Biography Of Jacob: A Coat Of Many Colors], which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten. (Genesis 46:26-27 KJV) Years before, Jacob had well-understood the meaning of the house of God at the time of his stairway to heaven dream. Jacob renamed the place where it happened Bethel, which means House of God. There was no physical building there - just God in heaven and Jacob on Earth. 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. 28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth [see A Biography Of Jacob: Stairway To Heaven], and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD [see The Kingdom Of The LORD God] is in this place; and I knew it not. 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. 28:18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. 28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel [see The God Of Bethel]: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. (Genesis 28:10 KJV) He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His Names sake ... I will dwell in the House of the LORD for ever
