10305. 'Where I will meet with you' means as a result of the influx of the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'meeting with', when the Lord says He will do so, as His presence and influx, dealt with in 10147, 10148, 10197, at this point as a result of the influx of the Lord, since the subject is worship, meant by 'the incense'. For all worship that is truly worship flows in from the Lord, as may be recognized from what has been shown above in 10299.

Touch

  

Imagine having your mother touch your cheek. Then imagine having your spouse or someone you love romantically touch your cheek. Then imagine having a baby touch your cheek. Then imagine having someone you hate and fear touch your cheek. They're very different feelings, aren't they? They all involve the same nerve endings, stimulated in basically the same ways, but with emotional content that varies to every point of the compass. This is because the sense of touch communicates and actually conveys emotion, communicates and conveys love (both good and bad) between people. That's why the Lord so often touched people as a way of healing them; through touch he could convey His love, which is life itself, to the people he touched. It's also why the people of Israel were not to touch the Ark of the Covenant -- their base loves would be conveyed to the holiness represented by the Ark.
