The Glory of God

SEE the Glory of the Lord, God

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.

As stated this was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord, and not merely a symbolism for us to differ over.

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. 

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 the 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 tto the father.

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 placed the mercy seat 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 mountaintop.  In Exodus 19 it says patter, which means a mirror effect of what is truly in heaven described in Revelations 4 - John seeing the future rapture of the church - he literally was taken into heaven. He saw the Tabernacle just as Ezekiel saw the glory of God in heaven, as 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 the 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 a 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.

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 set of God in the Tabernacle...

What separates us from that light? When we refuse responsibility, our sin separates us and removes us from mercy and grace. It puts us in darkness, away from the Light of Christ and the Glory of God.

People, time is short, and it is time to get right with the Lord.  Don't be separated or deceived that you can participate in sin.  Sin separates us from that marvelous light of protection.  Let us take worship more seriously and also guard our hearts from pride.
