Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone
-- while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
Job 38:4-7
"When God first appears in the Bible, He is building a house.
God makes His house through His Word and Spirit. All three Persons of God are working to build His House. The Father speaks and things are made. He says. 'Let there be light,' and there is light. Other places in the Bible, we learn that the 'Word' that makes the world is the 'Word' that is God (John 1:1-5). And this Word becomes man in Jesus. The Spirit is mentioned too in Genesis 1:2: 'The Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.'" A House for My Name
