Please would someone explain how, on Earth now, we can dwell in the house of the Lord? I assume it is not literal, as the Temple is no more. How can I live (dwell) with God yet still be here on Earth?
How can we see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living?
Thank you.

I know that God intends to dwell in unity with all creation after Jesus returns.
In that sense, the whole earth becomes the house if the Lord.
But as of now, God's Spirit lives inside each of us who believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, is alive, and sits on the right hand of God.
We see God's goodness in the land of the living, meaning while we live right now. We do this in a few ways.
We notice how God provides for us likewhen it rains, and food grows.
We believe Jesus's work of dying on the cross for deliverance from sin and repent from sin.
We trust God when trials and challenges come our way, knowing they're to strengthen our faith (Roman's 8:28)
We pray to God and seek His Face. Meaning we seek His presence in our lives through prayer.
And finally we read and get to know God through His Word, the Bible. God's goodness can be seen by His plan of redemption.

There are a couple of ways you can look at dwelling in the house of the Lord. It can refer to joining together with other believers in a church setting. That is a way of dwelling in the House of the Lord. We actually look at coming in here as like coming into a church setting, but it goes much deeper than that. We who belong to Christ are with Him all the time. We are joined together with the body of Christ at all times, so to be dwelling in the House of the Lord all your life is to be part of God's body all your life, connected to the church.
We see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living all the time. We feel His presence. He looks after us, and answers our prayers. I can tell you personally of miracles He has done for me, and times He has healed me or answered a prayer. Just being able to get up to greet the new day, and having strength to face the day is the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Thank you for the interesting questions.

Thanks for your help. It makes sense now.
The Bible is never wrong, but sometimes my understanding is.
