Shekinah Glory

The older definition of the Shekinah glory in Jewish theology was; The Divine Manifestation, through which God’s presence is felt by man. Someone had taken to task my constant term of the Judeo-Christian, but as the NT itself speaks that Christ is Himself that “glory” . . . “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from (of ) the Father, full of grace and truth.” (St. John 1:14)   The Greek means He literally “pitched his tent” (skenoo), and is an allusion to God’s dwelling with or among the people of Israel in the tabernacle (Ex. 25:8-9; 33:7).  Here indeed is the “Shekinah Glory” of God in the very person (man) and face of Jesus Christ!  Now, we approach and see that “glory” by faith, “For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Cor. 4:6, ESV)
