I remember a few years back when I first heard the Christian group MercyMe who recorded the song, 'I Can Only Imagine' CliPlay I will confess that I literally cried my eyes out, realizing the awestruck wonder of which Moses must have had, as he gazed in bewilderment at a burning bush in the desert, burning but not totally consumed by the Holy Fire of God, but which spoke his name, calling him to come even closer.

As I read the Old Testament accounts of how God would descend in a cloud upon the tabernacle, HIS Holy Presence resting upon the altar seat within the Holiest of Holies, I too am bewildered, struck with deep awe and wonder, just at the mere thought of being in the very presence of God's Glory.

Jesus tells me through the Gospel account of John the Apostle, that I will also see the Glory of God, by believing in HIM to be Christ, the Son of God.

Where the phrase, "Seeing is Believing", does not even come anywhere close to the fact that God's Spirit has opened my spiritual eyes to much, much more than just seeing, but also opens my understanding of what John records very effectively of Jesus telling us of God's Glory.

What then can I compare to the Glory of God?

When I confess to seeing, as the Apostle John and the Prophet Isaiah both have recorded 'SEEing', Isaiah 6:1-8 .......I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty." Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for." Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

I believe every WORD Christ Jesus spoke to be only TRUTH, so when HE says

'You will see the Glory of God',

then who am I to doubt, or for that matter anyone else to say that is not what is seen by all who BELIEVE HE is Christ, Lord and King?

It is now that I have a deeper understanding of exactly what Jesus was proclaiming to the Apostle Peter in

Matthew 16:17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.

It is then HIS WORDs of Truth and Righteousness, where TESTIMONY of BELIEVERs will, as in the days of Moses, be that tabernacle which displays God's Glory for ALL the world to see.
