Commentary on Isaiah 66:1
God's rhetorical questions 'where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?' challenge all human presumption to contain or serve God. The cosmic vision 'The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool' establishes God's transcendent greatness - no temple (even Solomon's) adequately houses Him. Yet verse 2 shows He dwells with contrite hearts - God is simultaneously transcendent and immanent.
