Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa ngandika sapuniki: “Langite ento singasanan Ulun, tur gumine ento tatakan batis Ulune. Umah ane buka kenkenke lakar wangun kita pabuat Ulun, tur tongos ane buka kenken ane lakar gae kita buat tongos Ulune malinggih?
What Does This Mean?
God is speaking through Isaiah and says that heaven is His throne and earth is His footstool. He questions why people think they can build a house for Him, as He doesn’t need a physical place to rest.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a really big playground that is your whole house. You wouldn’t need a special chair or a bed because your playground is everywhere you go. God is like that playground, and He doesn’t need a special house because He’s everywhere already.
Historical Background
The book of Isaiah was written by the prophet Isaiah around 700 BCE. This passage addresses the people of Israel, who were considering building a temple for God, but God is emphasizing that He is too vast to be confined to a building.
Living It Out Today
In today’s context, this verse reminds us that God is not limited to physical spaces like churches or temples. We can connect with God anywhere, anytime, and not just in designated religious buildings.
