The sanctuary was the dwelling place of God's presence among His people, symbolizing His holiness and majesty. The term "awesome" reflects the fear and respect that God's presence commands. In biblical history, the sanctuary was central to Israelite worship, where sacrifices were made, and God's law was taught. This reverence is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/isaiah/6.htm">Isaiah 6:1-4</a>, where the prophet Isaiah has a vision of God's holiness in the temple. The sanctuary also foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ, who is described as the true temple (<a href="/john/2-19.htm">John 2:19-21</a>), where God's presence dwells fully.the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. This phrase highlights God's active role in empowering His people, Israel. Throughout the Old Testament, God is depicted as the source of strength and victory for Israel, whether in battles, such as those led by Joshua (<a href="/joshua/1-5.htm">Joshua 1:5-9</a>), or in the spiritual strength needed to follow His commandments. The empowerment of God's people is a recurring theme, seen in the stories of judges like Gideon (<a href="/judges/6-14.htm">Judges 6:14</a>) and kings like David (<a href="/1_samuel/17-45.htm">1 Samuel 17:45-47</a>). In the New Testament, this empowerment is extended to all believers through the Holy Spirit (<a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>), fulfilling the promise of strength and power to God's people. This empowerment is not just physical but also spiritual, enabling believers to live out their faith.Blessed be God! This concluding phrase is a doxology, a short hymn of praises to God. It reflects a response of worship and gratitude for God's attributes and actions. The call to bless God is a common biblical expression of praise, found throughout the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/103.htm">Psalm 103:1-2</a>) and other scriptures. It acknowledges God's sovereignty, goodness, and faithfulness. In the context of <a href="/psalms/68.htm">Psalm 68</a>, it serves as a fitting response to the recognition of God's power and provision for His people.
