Who Is The Lord Of Glory? - Part 2124

In Jesus did dwell all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9) Peter, standing with the eleven on the day of Pentecost told the people that this same Jesus whom ye have crucified is the Lord of glory. (Acts 2:36)

Jesus as a man being the very same God who is Spirit. And as a man, Jesus was still the form of God. Only in that period of time was Jesus veiled willingly in flesh appearing as an earthly image (as was Adam) of that spiritual form. This is why the risen Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords, the first and the last, the beginning and the ending, the Alpha and Omega -- for there never was any other besides Him. (Revelation 1:8; Acts 4:12)

After the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared. (Titus 3:4-7; I Timothy 3:16)

But some want to separate Jesus from the Father -- even when Jesus Himself said, "I and My Father are One." (John 10:30) Similarly, Jesus said to His disciples that if they have seen Him -- Jesus -- they have seen the Father. (John 14:6-12) And now, after the resurrection, He -- Jesus THROUGH THE HOLY GHOST gives commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen. (Acts 1:2-3)

But I digress. This day I would like to focus on the Lord of glory of the new and the "glory of the Lord" in the old. As prophesied -- "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former," saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts." (Haggai 2:9) For those who may not know, the Bible is divided into the old and the new, and we are of the latter house -- in the New Testament dispensation of grace, wherein we can be saved because of the blood Jesus shed on that cross so that you might have abundant life and peace in Him. (Hebrews 9:1-18)

But sadly, many who profess to believe have missed the point when it comes to the Godhead. These do not adhere to the first commandment which states, "Hear O Israel, the Lord thy God is One Lord!" (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29-31) Not God in three persons or a triad god but rather One God -- One Shepherd -- One Lord of hosts who loved His beloved creation so much that He would prepare for Himself a body for sacrifice.

Thus, "who [is] this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle." (Psalm 24:8)

"Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He [is] the King of glory. Selah." (Psalm 24:10)

"The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in His works." (Psalm 104:31)

"Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord." (Psalm 138:5)

Further, "let them praise the Name of the Lord: for His name alone is excellent; His glory [is] above the earth and heaven." (Psalm 148:13)

From henceforth, we do not know Jesus after the flesh. But in the scriptures, we retain a partial record of the things that took place as Jesus walked among us in flesh. (John 1:1-14) As it is written, even though we have known Jesus after the flesh, yet henceforth, we no longer know Him in that fashion. Moreover, when we understand that "Lo, behold, the volume of the book is written of Me!" -- we come to know that Jesus was manifest in the flesh to destroy the work of the devil (mission accomplished!) meaning the work of Redemption is now complete! This is why who believe that this same Jesus is the Lord of glory -- we enter into the Rock, and hide in Thee, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty." (Isaiah 2:10)

Other passages confirming that there is only One Lord of Glory -- or wherein the glory of this One Lord  shone all around, we only have to look to Saul's unanticipated meeting with the Lord. Therein, when the Lord shone a light all around Saul, and he was blinded, Saul asked, "Who art Thou, Lord?" What was the response? "I AM JESUS."

"For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:14)

Again what is the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as prophesied by Habakkuk? And ye shall call His Name JESUS for He shall save His people from their sins ... Emmanuel, being interpreted, God with us. (Matthew 1:21-23)

It is time for us in this last generation to once again to allow His Spirit to take us up and bring us into the inner court so that we too can "behold, the glory of the Lord [that] filled the house." (Ezekiel 43:5; Ezekiel 44:4)

Indeed, "Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of His glory." (Isaiah 6:3)
