Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made
with
hands
Such an one as Solomon's was; he did indeed dwell in his temple,
but he was not confined to it, nor included in it, or
circumscribed by it; and so much Solomon himself suggests, when
he expresses his wonder at his dwelling on earth, seeing the
heaven of heavens could not contain him, and still less the house
which he had built, ( 1 Kings 8:27
) , (Nwyle) , "the most
High", is one of the names of God, ( Genesis
14:18 Genesis
14:19 Genesis
14:22 ) the Apostle Paul says the same of God as Stephen does
here; ( Acts
17:24 ) "as saith the prophet"; the prophet Isaiah, (
Isaiah 66:1
Isaiah 66:2 )
.
Acts 7:48
