GLORY

The singular splendor of God and the consequences for humanity.

The Glory of God

The glory of God can be described in two senses: (1) as a general category or attribute, and (2) as a specific category referring to particular historical manifestations of his presence.

As an Attribute

God’s glory refers primarily to his majestic beauty and splendor; it also refers to the expression of God’s character (Rom 3:23). The Scriptures record praise to his glorious name (Neh 9:5), describe him as the glorious Father (Eph 1:17) and the King of glory (Ps 24); he is exalted above the heavens, and his glory is over all the earth (Pss 57:5, 11 OET PSA 57:5 · OET PSA 57:11; 108:5; 113:4). He is the God of glory who appeared to the patriarchs of the OT (Acts 7:2). He is jealous to maintain his glory and unwilling that it be given to another (Is 42:8); he acts to bring glory to himself (Ps 79:9; Is 48:11).

As His Presence

References to the glory of the Lord are often to particular historical manifestations of his presence; images of light and fire are prominently associated with these occurrences. The foremost example is what is known in rabbinical literature as the shekinah glory, a phrase meaning the “dwelling glory.” It refers primarily to the presence of God in the pillar of cloud and fire in the OT.

The first explicit reference to the glory cloud is found in Exodus 13:21-22. At the time of the exodus, the glory of God appeared in the pillar of cloud and fire to lead the people through the sea and wilderness (Neh 9:11-12, 19 OET NEH 9:11–12 · OET NEH 9:19). At Sinai, with Israel encamped around the mountain, the glory of God comes in the cloud and fire to speak with Moses in the sight of the people (Ex 19:9, 16-18 OET EXO 19:9 · OET EXO 19:16–18; 24:15-18; Dt 5:5, 22-24 OET DEU 5:5 · OET DEU 5:22–24). When Moses is given a glimpse of that glory unconcealed by the cloud and fire, his own face becomes radiant and must be veiled because of the people’s fear (Ex 33:18-23; 34:29-35; 2 Cor 3:7-18).

29 So when Mosheh came down from Mt. Sinay, he was carrying the two stone slabs with the transcript of the ten commands, but what he didn’t know as he descended was that the skin on his face was shining after his talking with Yahweh.

OET-RV EXO 34:30

30 When Aharon (Aaron) and the Israelis saw Mosheh, wow, his face radiated light and they were afraid to go close to him.

OET-RV EXO 34:31

31 But Mosheh called them over, and Aharon and all of the community leaders returned back to him, and he spoke with them.

OET-RV EXO 34:32

32 After that, the Israelis came closer, and Mosheh gave them all the instructions that Yahweh had told him on Mt. Sinay.

OET-RV EXO 34:33

33 Then when he’d finished talking to them, Mosheh put a veil over his face,

OET-RV CO2 3:7

7 The system which was inscribed on stone tablets and which results in death was so incredible when it was given that the Israelis couldn’t even bring themselves to look at Mosheh’s (Moses) face because it shone so brightly. But if that system is being nullified,

OET-RV CO2 3:8

8 won’t this system via the spirit be even greater?

OET-RV CO2 3:9

9 If the system that brought condemnation was incredible, how much greater is the system that leads to righteousness,

OET-RV CO2 3:10

10 because that earlier system seems ordinary now when compared with the more incredible greatness of the new system,

OET-RV CO2 3:11

11 and if what ended up being replaced was incredible, how much more incredible is the system that lasts.

OET-RV CO2 3:12

12 So then, since that’s our expectation, we can be very bold,

OET-RV CO2 3:13

13 not just like Mosheh putting a veil over his face because the Israelis couldn’t even look at him when introducing a system that would be replaced.

OET-RV CO2 3:14

14 But their thinking was inflexible because even until this very day, the same veil remains during the public reading of the Hebrew scriptures—it’s not opened up because it’s only Messiah that nullifies it.

OET-RV CO2 3:15

15 So these days whenever Mosheh’s writings are being read, a veil lies across their hearts,

OET-RV CO2 3:16

16 but whenever that heart might turn towards Yahweh, the veil will be removed.

OET-RV CO2 3:17

17 Now Yahweh is the spirit, and there’s freedom wherever Yahweh’s spirit is.

OET-RV CO2 3:18

18 All of us who’ve had our faces unveiled are reflecting Yahweh’s greatness, and that same image transforms us from greatness to greatness. This comes from Yahweh who is the spirit.

OET-LV CO2 3:7

7 But if the service the of_death in letters having_been_engraved in_stones was_become in glory, so_as not to_be_able to_look_intently the sons of_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl) at the face of_Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh), because_of the glory of_the face of_him, which is being_nullified,

OET-LV CO2 3:8

8 how not more the service of_the spirit will_be in glory?

OET-LV CO2 3:9

9 For/Because if in_the the_service was of_ the _condemnation, glory by_much more is_being_plentiful the service of_ the _righteousness in_glory.

10 For/Because even not has_been_glorified, the thing having_been_glorified in this the regard on_account the surpassing glory.

The picture of Israel encamped around the glory of God on Sinai portrays God dwelling in the midst of his people. When the tabernacle is completed and the people set out on their march, the glory cloud of God’s presence dwells above them throughout their journey (Ex 40:34-38; Nm 10:11-12). When they encamp, the tribes encircle the tabernacle (Nm 1:50–2:2 OET NUM 1:50–54 · OET NUM 2:1–2), and the cloud reminds them of his presence in their midst. Later, the same glory filled the new temple that Solomon builds (2 Chr 5:13–6:1 OET CH2 5:13–14 · OET CH2 6:1; 7:1-3). The psalmists celebrated Jerusalem and the temple as the place where his glory dwelt (Pss 26:8; 63:2; 85:9); God was in their midst.

Later in Israel’s history they denied God’s glorious presence (Is 3:8) and exchanged the glory of the Lord for idols made by human hands (Ps 106:20; Jer 2:10-11; cf. Rom 1:23). Because of their disobedience, judgment came against Jerusalem; the penalties of covenant violation were enforced. God would no longer be the God of a disobedient people (Hos 1:9). God’s presence in the glory cloud left the temple (Ez 10:4, 18-19 OET EZE 10:4 · OET EZE 10:18–19; 11:22), and Israel went into exile (12:1-15).

Yet out of this judgment God determined to bring a remnant to rebuild the city and the temple. In his visions Ezekiel saw the glory of the Lord return to dwell in the temple again (Ez 43:2-9), a time when the glory would return to a purified people and dwell among them forever. When the exile was over and the second temple was under construction, Haggai and Zechariah urged the people on with the promise of the return of the glory of God to fill the temple as it had done in the first temple and to “be glory in their midst” (Hg 2:3-9; Zec 2:5, 10-11 OET ZEC 2:5 · OET ZEC 2:10–11).

The Glory of God in Jesus Christ

We are not told if the shekinah glory returned to the second temple. But we are told that God’s glory was seen again on earth in the person of Jesus Christ. John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son” (italics added). As such, Jesus was the new tabernacle for God’s abiding glory. In Jesus, God dwelt among people. Since Christ was (and is) the very image of God, to see the light of his face was to know the glory of God (2 Cor 4:4-6). To see Jesus was to see a “light to the Gentiles and the glory of Israel” (Lk 2:30-32). The disciples who witnessed the Transfiguration (Mt 17:1-8) saw his glory in a marvelous way (2 Pt 1:16-17), for it was a glory that burst out of his human body. This outburst of glory prefigured the glorification Christ experienced in resurrection and ascension (see Jn 17:5; Phil 2:5-11).

Glory and the People of God

The people of God have experienced the glory of the presence of God. The glory cloud of the OT was their glory (Ps 106:20; Jer 2:11). Christ came as the embodiment of the glory of God; God was in the midst of his people. When Christ ascended, he sent his Spirit to the believers (Jn 16:7-14) so that God could live in the midst of his people. The Spirit of glory rests on those who suffer for the name of Christ (1 Pt 4:14); that Spirit is the guarantee of the glorious inheritance of the saints (Rom 8:16-17).

Those whom he has chosen he will also glorify (Rom 8:30; 9:23); they will share in the glory of Christ (Col 3:4; 2 Thes 2:14; 2 Tm 2:10). The sufferings of this age do not compare with the glory that will be revealed (Rom 8:18; 2 Cor 4:17). The whole of creation longs to see the glorious freedom of the children of God (Rom 8:21). This hope of glory is so certain that Peter can speak of participating in it even now (1 Pt 5:1) while looking forward to that eternal glory (v 10). As partakers in the glory of Christ, the church is called to glorify God. Because of the hope that is in them, they purify themselves (1 Jn 3:3).
