What Happened at the Tent of Meeting

What is the Shekinah glory? We examine the scriptural evidence to understand if this concept refers to a feeling or God's presence. Many believers use the term to describe the atmosphere of a service, but the word itself does not appear in the Bible. We clarify that the glory of the Lord is not merely a mood or light in a temple, but a tangible encounter with the Creator. We look at how the Bible describes this phenomenon as a person drawing near to His people. By looking past modern terminology, we can better appreciate the reality of the presence of God, which remains constant even without a physical temple or city.
