Exodus 23:20-22 (ESV Strong's)
20 “Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. 21 Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him. 22 “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
An angel led the people of Israel through the wilderness to a land prepared for them. Because they took the name of the Lord in vain through their disobedience and rebellion, the journey was long and arduous and many would not arrive in the promised land.
The Lord has come to abide in each of us and will lead us individually to the place He has prepared for those who love Him. If we have not taken His name in vain, we will listen to His voice and follow Him where He leads. That place is with the Lord.
