“The glory of the Lord” (Ezekiel 11:23)
- This is what the visions are about. The glory of the Lord is most
fully revealed in Christ. His glory is revealed in salvation, in His
power “to save completely those who come to God through Him” (Hebrews 7:25).
As we read in Scripture of this great salvation, we must pray, from
our hearts: “I long for Your salvation, O Lord, and Your law is my
delight” (Psalm 119:174).
Salvation is not a self-centred experience, all for me, no give and
all take. It is a God-centred experience which leads to service, a life
committed to doing His will.
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
