Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory….”When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Matt 25:30-31
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. Habb 2:14
The glory of God – the radiant manifestation of His divine presence – is most clearly seen in Jesus Christ. He has “great glory” and sits on a “glorious throne”. The glory He manifests is “HIS glory”. It belongs to Him by right, because it is the overflow of His essence and being.
The gospel message is, in the end, a message about the glory of Jesus Christ. One day the earth will be filled with this message. All people, from every nation, will know about the glory of the Lord, who is Jesus Christ!
The gospel is not a privatized message that just defines believers; it is not simply what we believe. It is a statement about ultimate reality. It concerns the true and living God–the only God. The God who seeks to save us by dying on a cross as a man. The God who will come again and judge the nations by that same man. The Man of glory! This is who we worship. This is who we proclaim to others.
Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good news; lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!” Isa 40:9
