God bless you all. More than a blog this is a short description of what is the glory of God. This description comes from the Bible Dictionary, "New Dictionary of the Bible" (A. Lockward - Editorial Unilit) God put it in my heart and today I share with you.
GLORY = value and splendor of something, especially a person.
Hebrew = Kabod, pointing to the idea of "weight", especially related to precious metals.
The Glory of a person involves the ideas of its wealth, splendor, honor, beauty. Also, compared to the brightness of the precious metals, their brilliance. Moses wanted to see these things of God ("…Now show me your glory" Ex 33:18), but that was only partially possible. God revealed part of his glory, but not fully ("...for no one may see me and live." [Exodus 33:20]).
The expression "the Glory of the Lord" is used to indicate a visible manifestation of God. Ex: "In a cloud" that guided the Israelites through the desert was the glory of God.
Ezekiel had two visions of "the glory of the Lord" which he tried to describe by talking about a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber,…” [Ez. 1:4]
"Give Glory to God" means to recognize their wealth, glory, honor, beauty, greatness, his holiness, in an attitude of compliance [accept and comply with an order], admiration and submission. Psalm 66:2 " Sing the glory of his name "
Greek: Doxa, which means "reputation" or "opinion" within the meaning of popularity, or reputation, or fame. The term "doxology" applies to expressions that speak of these divine attributes, praising. Ex: The kingdoms of this world have glory [Mt 6:29]
But when the term refers to God, indicates his perfection and majesty. [Ro. 1:23] But God manifested His glory in His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus is "the glow" of the glory of God, "and the image of his substance" (Hebrews 1:3) So God found a way to fully manifest himself to us through Jesus.
The Glory of God manifested in a sense emphasizes his character ("…Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father…" [Jn. 14:9])
In the manner, the Lord Jesus is "the hope of glory" for all those who believe in Him (Col. 1:27), it is his purpose to bring "many sons and daughters to glory" [Heb. 2:10]
“For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.” Matthew 16:27
I hope you liked it and may it be a blessing.
Until next time,
