God's Tent Among Us
Commentators highlight that the word for "dwell" literally means "to tabernacle." This powerfully connects God's future presence to the Old Testament tabernacle, where His glory dwelt, and to Jesus's incarnation, when He "tabernacled among us" (John 1:14). This is the ultimate fulfillment of "Immanuel"—God living personally and permanently with His people.
