Revelation 7:15Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
The setting
Patmos Island, Greece, ~95 AD. The elder continues explaining heaven's reality where martyrs serve in God's presence with inexhaustible strength...
The emotion here: awestruck by the contrast between earthly suffering and heavenly reward
The original word
skenoo (σκηνώσει) — to pitch a tent, God camping out with His people
Why it matters
The word 'tabernacle' connects to Israel's wilderness wandering when God's presence literally dwelt in a tent
