The Shekhinah Glory

By J. Ben Pickering

'Glory', as such, is simply a representation or manifestation of God's presence. In the Scriptures it is frequently represented by light, something that in darkness is most evident. But it is not only light that signifies God is represented in a certain place, face or time. God Himself doesn't need glory; in fact He doesn't need anything. He is not obliged to demonstrate His power - but when He does it is for our benefit, to give us some idea of who He is, where He chooses to 'be seen' and how tremendously powerful He is. It is something that we have been denied possession of - denied by our nature a true knowledge of. For now we call it 'Glory'. We must admit that we cannot really grasp this entire concept with a few simple words. So, in this instance let us put our minds towards exploring just one visual perception of glory - The Shekhinah Glory.

The Shekhinah Glory

‘Then’

What was then at the beginning of time

Was not bright lights nor clever sounds sublime

In nothingness was not vacuous hum

But the breath of hope across that to come.

And in that space; obdurate sheol night,

Thwarting destructive, was all that was right

Surpassing all knowledge of what could be

Striving, born in an obsidian sea.

In nothingness stirred the perfect repost

For without anything nothing is lost

There in that state only anticipation

Calm before storm at hope’s expectation.

So in late time seeing that evident

Many fail to find that which was not

The-may-never-be hoped well beyond then

Cannot that-not-been, be more than again?

The Shekhinah Glory

Beyond our mortal comprehension exists an eternal and wonderful concept as real as anything our minds have yet known. It is something that we have been denied possession of - denied by our nature a true knowledge of. For now we call it ‘Glory’. We must admit that we cannot really grasp this entire concept with a few simple words. So, in this instance let us put our minds towards exploring just one visual perception of glory – The Shekhinah Glory.
