The Glory of God
Ezekiel Chapter 1 The glory of God has been manifested in many ways throughout the course of history. The Hebrew word for glory means heavy or weighty and is most often used to express honor or impressiveness. Upon examination of many scriptural references to God’s glory, it can be readily seen that they are indeed impressive. Consider first the glory of the heavens.

Wow! All day I’ve been in anguish regarding Ezekiel Chapter 1 (as I have for decades when daring to read any portion of Ezekiel, especially those describing the varying aspects of God’s “Chariot of Fire”). Never realized the Living Creatures portrayed Christ and the entire Vision of Himself from SAVIOUR to THE RESURRECTED KING…! YHWH told His disciples enroute to Emmaus: FIND ME IN THE LAW & THE PROPHETS & PSALMS. Correct me if wrong, but Emmaus in Hebrew means “hot” as in mental agitation. Before encountering the RISEN Yeshua, these travelers were like me, deeply agitated about God’s Word. When finally encountering “THE WORD OF GOD, HIMSELF”…they reversed their path, literally and mentally. They found PEACE ONLY when knowing THE TRUTH REVEALED TO THEM…by the WORD OF GOD, HIMSELF. Ezekiel’s name means “MY STRENGTH”, which corrected his father’s namesake as the “son of Buzi”. Buzi means “contempt or despise”. Being in contempt of Court means not following the Judge’s Orders. THINK OF ALL THE ORDERS GOD GAVE EZEKIEL…AND THIS TRUE PROPHET FOLLOWED THEM ALL BY THE STRENGTH OF THE SPIRIT OF “I AM THAT I AM”. AMEN! MAY WE, AS WELL, REJOICE IN THE STRENGTH OF THE “I AM”…CHRIST IN US, OUR HOPE OF SEEING HIS GLORY, IN EVERY PRESENT MOMENT AND EVERMORE.
