Bethel, The Dwelling Place of the God of Jacob

An important study dealing with the theme of where God dwells and where this dwelling might be realised today. The Patriarchs are remote from our time, the events recorded in Genesis happened more than thirty-five centuries ago. Yet Jacob is like us. We can identify ourselves with him: continuously devising our own plans. God eventually succeeds in bringing him back to Bethel, the house of God. Jacob is a monument of the Holy Spirit's work in the believer and in our lives as well. God can do what He did in Jacob's life.
