Answer 1

聖經中 presences 通常指的是"神的降臨與同在"

王上19:11 耶和華說：你出來站在山上，在我面前。那時耶和華從那裡經過，在他面前有烈風大作，崩山碎石，耶和華卻不在風中；風後地震，耶和華卻不在其中；

1Ki19:11 Then he said, Go out and take your place on the mountain before the Lord. Then the Lord went by, and mountains were parted by the force of a great wind, and rocks were broken before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earth-shock, but the Lord was not in the earth-shock.

意思是這些暴風地震只是彰顯神的能力 卻不是神自己

詩104:4 以風為使者，以火焰為僕役，

Psm104:4 He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants.

耶10:13 他一發聲，空中便有多水激動；他使雲霧從地極上騰；他造電隨雨而閃，從他府庫中帶出風來。

Jer10:13 At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

既然這些只能代表神的能力 那神的同在是什麼呢?

文章的結語可以詳細述說您對的神的瞭解
