The term is often associated with God's provision and care for His people, as well as the human need for safety and security. Old Testament References 1. Physical Shelter: In the Old Testament, shelter is frequently mentioned in the context of God's provision for His people. For instance, during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, God provided them with a cloud by day and fire by night, offering both guidance and protection (<a href="/exodus/13-21.htm">Exodus 13:21-22</a>). The tabernacle, a portable earthly dwelling place for God, also served as a physical and spiritual shelter for the Israelites (<a href="/exodus/25-8.htm">Exodus 25:8-9</a>). 2. Metaphorical Shelter: The Psalms often use the imagery of shelter to describe God's protection. <a href="/psalms/91.htm">Psalm 91:1-2</a> states, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" Here, the psalmist emphasizes trust in God as a source of ultimate security. 3. Cities of Refuge: The concept of cities of refuge in <a href="/numbers/35-9.htm">Numbers 35:9-15</a> provided a literal place of safety for those who accidentally committed manslaughter. These cities were a form of shelter from the avenger of blood, illustrating God's provision of justice and mercy. New Testament References 1. Jesus as Shelter: In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is often depicted as a spiritual shelter for believers. In <a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28-30</a> , Jesus invites those who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest, offering Himself as a refuge from the burdens of life. 2. The Church as Shelter: The early Christian community is portrayed as a place of refuge and support for believers. <a href="/acts/2-44.htm">Acts 2:44-47</a> describes the early church as a community where believers shared everything in common, providing for each other's needs and offering a form of social and spiritual shelter. 3. Eternal Shelter: <a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3-4</a> speaks of the ultimate shelter in the new heaven and new earth, where God will dwell with His people, and there will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain. This vision of eternal shelter underscores the hope of ultimate security and peace in God's presence. Theological Significance Theologically, shelter in the Bible signifies God's protective nature and His desire to provide for His people. It reflects the human need for security and the assurance that God is a reliable refuge in times of trouble. The imagery of shelter is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and the peace that comes from trusting in Him. Throughout Scripture, the theme of shelter encourages believers to seek refuge in God, who is described as a strong tower and a safe haven for those who trust in Him (<a href="/proverbs/18-10.htm">Proverbs 18:10</a>).<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
