Ezekiel 9-11

You will note in verse 3, mention is made of the glory
of the God of Israel. The glory of God is one of the
prominent features of the prophecy of Ezekiel. We will
find several visions of the glory of God throughout
Ezekiel. Actually, glory is one of the key concepts
of the whole Bible. I did a study a number of years
ago on the word, glory, and I found out that the word,
glory, in the Old Testament and in the New Testament

peculiarly attached to the children of Israel.

Wherever God is—it is glory. Whatever God does—it is
glorious. You can trace this concept of the glory of
God in the life of His people all through the Old
Testament.
In the Old Testament you may remember that when the
children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt and
were going through the wilderness to the Promised
Land, the Bible says there was a glory cloud that met
them and led them. By day, it was a cloud. At night,
it was a pillar of fire. This glory cloud, which was a
symbol, a representation of the presence of God in all
of its splendor among His people, directed and
illuminated and protected the people of God all the
way through their wilderness wanderings.
