God’s Glory

The power of God’s glory 

1. Moses could not endure God’s glory without protection. Exodus 33:20-23
The Father is the source of Christ’s power to do works. John 14:10

2. Sin cannot exist in the presence of God’s pure goodness just as darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. God is light: 1st John 1:5
Sin would create an impurity if allowed to remain. God determined He would remain pure and Holy.

3. Unsanctified man could not touch the Ark of the Covenant 1Chronicles 13:9-10
a. Capacitor theory: Gold inside and out could store a charge of electricity. Ex.25:11
Numbers 4: 5 & 15 Insulator covering protected. The theory falls short when we read that all Holy items were to be wrapped. They were not built as capacitors.
b. A spiritually un-cleansed (unprotected) man cannot touch a Holy ark.
Priestly warnings: Leviticus. 10:3, 6-10 They were spiritually clean.

4. Only the priests could enter the Holy of Holies where God lived. Numbers 4:19

5. Only one covered by the protective blood of Christ can exist in Heaven in the presence of God and His full glory.

Ps: Tribulations are a source of our glory.
Ephesians 3:13 God enjoys giving tribulations to those that trouble those that are His.
2nd Thes. 1:6 2Th 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

We do not have to judge offenders. God knows what is happening.
