The only houses that I can think of which are called by His name are Christian churches.
My Hi-lite: Jeremiah 32:34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
Jeremiah 32:26
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 Behold,
I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
28 Therefore
thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the
Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he
shall take it:
29 And the
Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this
city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense
unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me
to anger.
30 For the
children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before
me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to
anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
31 For this
city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from
the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it
from before my face,
32 Because
of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah,
which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes,
their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem.
33 And they
have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising
up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34 But
they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to
defile it.
35 And they
built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom,
to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech;
which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should
do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36 And now
therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city,
whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon
by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
37 Behold,
I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in
mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again
unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 And they
shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 And I will
give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the
good of them, and of their children after them:
40 And I will
make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from
them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they
shall not depart from me.
41 Yea, I
will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land
assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42 For thus
saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people,
so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
43 And fields
shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man
or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
44 Men shall
buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take
witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and
in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the
cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause
their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
