However, for the natural man, God has<strong> associated<\/strong> Himself with a<strong> northerly direction<\/strong>.&nbsp; Consider Psalm 75:6,7 , &quot;Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south, but <strong>God is the Judge<\/strong>. <strong>He putteth down one, and setteth up another<\/strong>.&quot; Following this reasoning, promotion would come<strong> from the north<\/strong>, from God.<\/p>\n<p>The great Creator may also identify His residence in the direction of the Pleiades, particularly with Alcyone, the central star of this renowned group. Consider the question God asked Job, &quot;Can you<strong> bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,<\/strong> or loose the bands of Orion?&quot; &ndash; Job 38:31,32. The Pleiades is a northerly constellation. The reasoning based on these verses builds on the thought that once God determines a loving, just, wise course of action, <strong>nothing can bind the sweet influence of His holy Spirit<\/strong>. Thus, the northerly direction again may represent the residence of Jehovah, the place from which He governs the Universe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We need to remember that these scriptures are <strong>highly symbolic<\/strong>. God and His heavenly family may well&nbsp;live in different dimensions from human beings. We always remember the concept, &#039;Where the scriptures are wide, we are wide. Where the scriptures are narrow, we are narrow.&quot; Since the<strong> Bible is not definitive about where God dwells<\/strong>, we should not be either.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bible does not specifically give this information.
