The Sanctuary is God's Presence
Commentators widely agree that the "sanctuary of God" is not just about entering a physical temple. It signifies drawing near to God Himself. Scholars like Barnes and Spurgeon explain it as a state of communion, seeking God's perspective, and finding refuge in His presence. This is the place where painful questions find divine answers.
