O Jehovah, who may be a guest in your tent?—Ps. 15:1.

 

For some time, God’s friendship was limited to those living in the spirit realm, where he dwells. Later, he extended his tent to include humans on earth. In time, among those favored ones were Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Job. Those true worshippers were described as God’s friends, or ones who walked “with the true God.” (Gen. 5:24;6:9; Job 29:4; Isa. 41:8) Throughout the centuries, Jehovah continued to invite his friends to be his guests. (Ezek. 37:26, 27) For example, from Ezekiel’s prophecy we learn that God truly wants his loyal worshippers to have a warm relationship with him. He promises to make “a covenant of peace with them.” That prophecy points to a time when those who have a heavenly hope and those who have an earthly hope will be united under his figurative tent as “one flock.” (John 10:16) That time is now! w24.062 ¶2, 4; 3 ¶5
