Conclusions: the glory of the Lord invariably manifests itself as light and/or fire, associated with a
cloud (probably not a white cloud but a dark/black cloud to cloak the radiance of Gods glory.

the idea is of that which is weighty in the sense of being noteworthy or impressive. The reputation of
an individual is of central importance in these usages. God's name is glorious in righteousness,
faithfulness, judgment, and salvation (Psa 66:2; Psa 79:9; Isa 40:5). He is the king of glory (Psa 24:7-10),
who has done gloriously. So he is not only to be honored because of his position as sovereign head of the
universe, but because of his surpassing character in all realms. Forty-five times this form of the root
relates to a visible manifestation of God and whenever "the glory of God" is mentioned this usage must be
taken account of. Its force is so compelling that it remolds the meaning of doxa from an opinion of men in
the Greek classics to something absolutely objective in the LXX and NT.
The several references which speak of God's glory filling the earth and/or becoming evident are instructive.
On the one hand they quite legitimately refer to that reputation for greatness which God alone deserves, not
only because of his natural position as king, but because of his unsurpassed activity as deliverer and
saviour. However, as the preceding discussion indicates, something more is intended here. It is not merely
God's reputation which fills the earth, but it is the very reality of his presence. And his desire is that all
persons may gladly recognize and own this. His first step toward the achievement of these goals was to fill
the tabernacle with his presence and then the temple.
