GLOSSARY
Sanctuary
Occurrences: 6 — (of the home) 3 — (of the Keep)
First Reference: Wisdom 28:24 / Enlightenment 9:17
Thus in the Song of God shall you always find me, and in another also; for in the Sanctuary of your home shall I come and there abide, if it so be that the Sanctuary be made most holy. For the holiest place in all the world is the Sanctuary of the home, and this do you alone create.
See: Keep (the), Tabernacle of God’s Peace Refer to: Creating a Sanctuary
Summary: The term is used to refer to both: the Sanctuary of the home (W:28:24-28), as well as the Sanctuary of the Keep — an impenetrable refuge created by the Supreme Father and Mother of Heaven, The One and Areta, to protect spirit children from the Demiurge. Lower case usage of the word (‘sanctuary’) is also used in scripture to refer to the Sanctuary created in the home for the purpose of instruction, communion and worship (W:16:36; W:29:28; 1:10:49; 4:28:58).

Notes/References:
Thus in the Song of God shall you always find me, and in another also; for in the Sanctuary of your home shall I come and there abide, if it so be that the Sanctuary be made most holy. For the holiest place in all the world is the Sanctuary of the home, and this do you alone create.
For in your hand is found a power: to create on earth a bit of Heaven where God might be revealed, a place within your very home where the holy and sacred meet, to bind on earth the things of God through the living of your life.
Build therefore a Sanctuary in your home, to be for you and all your house a Holy of Holies, having in itself both the altar and mercy seat, and let this prove the sacred place where you and God confer through the moving of the Spirit.
For all that is holy and come from God is first made manifest in the Sanctuary of the home, and from there shall the Spirit of God move into the life of the family, which Spirit is carried into the Tabernacle of God’s Peace to bless the community in which you live.
Let then the Sanctuary of your home be that very fount from which all good things do flow forth into the world; flowing from the life you live to touch and empower both the Tabernacle and Temple together, creating within the garden places, the hush of sacred things filled with joy and hope and peace.
Wisdom 28:24-28
“Before the Gods of Eloheim I fairly give command: Cease now the unseemly act and return again unto the Sanctuary these innocents which you have taken. For why will you make forfeit the kingdom of God, seeing that he has honored you above many others?”
