Paul declares that God is "not far from every one of us; for in him we live and move and have our being."[A] [Footnote A: Acts xvii:26-28.] _4. Limitations of Foregoing Revelations to Omnipresence:_ These declarations go at least as far as to establish the omnipresence of God, not of his bodily, but of his spiritual presence; but they do not quite express the conception presented in the word immanence which I have said equals the attribute of omnipresence plus divine power, and act. It was left for our modern revelations to present that idea. This is done in the revelation which first declares that "the elements"--having reference to the elements of the material world--"are eternal;" that "spirit and element inseparably connected receive a fulness of joy;" that "the elements are the tabernacle of God."[A] That is, in some way, God is immanent, ever present and everywhere present, in the universe.[B] [Footnote A: Doc. and Cov., Sec. xciii:33-35.] [Footnote B: The Universe: It may be well to bring before the mind of the student a brief definition of this term "universe," in which we are saying that God is immanent, in order that we may appreciate somewhat at least the largeness of things with which we are dealing. I take the definition from Haeckel: "(a) The extent of the universe is infinite and unbounded; it is empty in no part, but everywhere filled with substance. "(b) The duration of the world (i. e. Universe) is equally infinite and unbounded; it has no end; it is eternity." (Riddle of the Universe, p. 242.) And in this infinite and eternal universe, God, in some way, is everywhere present and potentially or actually active--immanent.] _5. God Not Only Everywhere Present, But Power and Act:_ Our theology recognizes Jesus Christ as not only divine but Deity;[A] and this Immanence of God in the world is in some of our modern revelations spoken of as the "Light of Christ:"[B] [Footnote A: Seventy's Year Book No. III, Lessons XXXIII and XXXIV.] [Footnote B: A near equivalent to this phrase, "the light of Christ," is also used in the New Testament in connection with the idea of its being a vital as well as an intelligent principle--the life and the light of the world: "In him [the Christ, see context] was life; and the life was the light of men; and the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not." John was sent to bear witness of that light: "That was the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." (St. John's Gospel i:1-12.) See also Doc. and Cov., Sec. lxxxiv:45-47.] "He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things; in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth;
