The Manifestation of the Glory of God
Step into His Glory, into His Perfection
.jpg "The Manifestation of the Glory of God")
We are called to give Glory to God. How many songs today do we here where we are asking for the Glory for Ourselves. The glory belongs to God. He is the glory.
What is the glory of God? The original meaning of glory has to do with weightiness. The glory of God summarizes the seriousness, the perfection, and the infinite significance of all of the attributes of God. It sums up who He is, in the awesome brightness and weightiness of all His perfections. What does it mean then for us to glorify God? We cannot add to His glory, for He is already perfectly and infinitely glorious.
People you've seen the glory of God. My word talks about the Glory of God in my Word.
Ezekiel is full of my description of my glory that covers the earth. I also bring forth for you to see the glory after a rain.
In Ezekiel 1:28 "As the appearance of the bow (rainbow) that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness around about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord, And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. God’s glory radiates: “Like the appearance of the bow which shines in the clouds on a day of rain, such was the appearance of the surrounding radiance!” (v. 28a)
Rev. 4: 3.
As stated, this was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord, not merely a symbolism over which we disagree.
The rainbow is a symbol of promise but is the Lord's literal glory. The book of Ezekiel is about the Glory of the Lord. Chapter 1 describes heaven and the Lord in heaven.
vs. 22 - "And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colure of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above."
Terrible crystal has the color of the rainbow. The Lord Jesus is the light of the world. The firmament is the glory surrounding the Lord. The Lord represents the colors of light in Crystal.
The English word "firmament" in the Bible is a translation of the Hebrew, raqia, meaning "expanse." Its meaning is not "firm boundary" but might be better paraphrased as "stretched-out thinness" or simply "space."
Its first occurrence in the Bible relates it to heaven: "And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. . . . And God called the firmament Heaven" - Genesis 1:6,8. This firmament obviously could not be a solid boundary above the sky, but is essentially the atmosphere, the "first heaven," the "space" where the birds were to "fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven" - Genesis 1:20.
Before Lucifer's fall, he was the anointed cherub. In Ezekiel 28:13 "13 "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created."
Those stones were the stones representing the 12 tribes of Israel. The stones were worn over their heart and worn by the high priest to guard against pride. He was covered in every precious stone. He had pendants and jewels of gold...
Lucifer was beautiful before he sinned. An expression of Gods own beauty and power. But like man, described in Ezekiel 1 - the Glory of God.
In the Hebrew, the name Lucifer is translated from the Hebrew word "helel," which means brightness.
Lucifer was known as the worship leader in heaven so when worship took place, the glory of God reflected in the jewels in Lucifer to reflect back to the Lord God.
The breastplate is over the heart representing the stones. When we worship the Lord, it is from the heart and we reflect back the light back to the Lord and the Lord shows up with glory - a weightiness like a cloud (His Presence) covering his people like he did in the desert for the Israelites - a cloud by day and a fire at night - the glory of God.
When Moses made the mercy seat and placed it into the tabernacle's Holy of Holies, God's glory came and dwelt between the cherubim. They "covered" the mercy seat with their wings. The tabernacle that Moses saw on the mountain top. In Exodus 19 it says patter which means a mirror effect what is truly in heaven described in Revelations 4 - John seeing the future rapture of the church - he literally was taken into heaven and saw the tabernacle just as Ezekiel saw the glory of God in heaven described in Ezekiel 1. John saw the 24 elders and they were on their faces saying "holy, holy holy is the Lord who was, who is who is to come."
In Genesis 1 "6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."
The Glory of God was over the earth in firmament (the colors of the rainbow back then) reflecting God's glory through the light of Jesus Christ.
We are all priests today and when Jesus died, the Vail was ripped for us to redeem mankind back to relationship with the Father. We are all called to worship the Lord in truth and in spirit (the word of God and spirit of God) both together and not separate according to Joshua 1:8. We worship the Lord and since he is the Light of the world and when we worship we connect to him in light. When we worship the darkness is pushed away through worship. It is commanded for us to glorify God means for us to ascribe the glory that is due His Name in worship. It means that we acknowledge His glory by living as though His perfections are as serious and significant as they really are, so that we reflect His glory through a pure mirror.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says, "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
1 Peter 2: 9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;"
10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
The mercy seat of God in the tabernacle...
What separates us from that light? Our sin separates us and takes us out of mercy and grace when we refuse to take responsibility. It puts us in darkness away from the Light of Christ and the Glory of God.
Lucifer (Halal) and his third of the angels functioned in the ministry of reflecting the glory of God especially in the categories of sound (the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes) and color (light dispersed), leading the ethereal choir in the songs of praise and worship to the Creator [Job 38:7]. Lucifer, as the covering cherub & head-stone upon the holy mountain of God, reflected the entire of the Creator's dispersed light through all the choral octaves of angels embodied in the ten categories of precious stones in Ezekiel. All forms of creation were made manifest by the spoken Word of God. His Word spoken, the voice of God Who is Light, unifies the spectrums of sound and light at their foundation. This is the reason why we see a perfect relation between the seven colors of the rainbow and the seven notes of the musical scale, because the wave patterns of both sound and light are rooted in the Voice of God (like ultrasound), Who is Light. The beauty of this of light was then reflected back to God, its true source, in the form of songs of praise and worship, making up the original angelic "Hallel-ujah Choir." The 104th Psalm is highlighted by the first occurrence of the word "Hallelujah" (Praise ye the LORD) in the Old Testament.
Satan's sin separated him from the Father forever because of the sin of pride.
People, time is short and it is time to get right with the Lord. Don't be separated or deceived that you can participate with sin. Sin separates us from that marvellous light of protection. Lets take worship more seriously and also guard our hearts from pride.
