November 25th, 2001 Earthly tents
I have lots of questions about II Corinthians, but here’s a brief one. Is there some corollary between the earthly tent => eternal house and the tabernacle => temple? As Jesus tabernacled among us, do we ‘tabernacle’ in some sense?

It seems the analogy of the promised land as heaven is fairly time honored in the Christian tradition, so tent/pilgrimage/temporal vs. temple/settlement/permanent makes sense to me.

There shall I find a settled rest,
while others go and come.
No more a stranger or a guest, but
like a child at home.
