The tent of revelation

I have been reading a new Norwegian translation of the Bible these days. In Leviticus I found the expression "the tent of revelation" where my normal version is saying the tent of meeting. I found that new expression very exciting. The tent of meeting is the place where God met with his people. The new version is saying that the tent of meeting with God is the tent of revelation. It is the place where God shines forth, where his glory is seen. The covenant community is supposed to be such a meeting place with God, a place of revelation, a place where God is making himself known.
This is what the apostle Paul is constantly praying for, that the Spirit of Revelation and wisdom might give light to the eyes of the heart that the believers may know God and begin to understand the incredible mighty power at work within us, the same Spirit that rose Christ from the dead.
