Rebellious angels believe God is a liar (Genesis 3:1-5). To document Divine integrity, God became part
of visible creation—lower than angels (Hebrews 2:9).

In a remarkable memorial to God’s integrity, God Himself became part of visible
creation for all eternity.

dwelling place of God and visible creation into one local (Compare
Revelation 21:17); there, He and elect volitional creatures
will dwell. See Revelation 22:1-5.
