Sanctuary: Denotes,1. the Holy Land
(Exodus 15:17) comp.
(Psalms 114:2)
2. the temple
(1 Chronicles 22:19; 2 Chronicles 29:21)
3. the tabernacle
(Exodus 25:8; Leviticus 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),
(Leviticus 4:6; Ephesians 2:21) R.V., marg.;
5. God's holy habitation in heaven
(Psalms 102:19) In the final state
there is properly "no sanctuary"
(Revelation 21:22) for God and the Lamb
"are the sanctuary" (R.V., "temple"). All is there hallowed by
the Divine Presence; all is sancturary.
