The glory of God
« With unveiled face , beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord , we are all being transformed into the same image , from glory to glory , and this is from the Lord , the Spirit ». ( 2 Cor : 3 / 18 .) * « Then , they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory ».
( Luke : 21 / 27 .) * « The citadel has no need for the sun or the moon to shine , for the very glory of God illuminated it , and its lamp is the Lamb . The nations will walk in its light ; the kings of the earth bring their 1 glory and honor into it ».

Text selections from God ’ s Word on this topic
My apostles believed and prayed to Me to increase their faith , but they could not stay careless in their faith . They prayed saying to Me : « Lord , increase our faith ; increase our faith ». And you , My loved people , you had into your midst the God ’ s glory , and you still did not know how to believe in it , as this work is the God ’ s glory into your midst , but he , who did not stay small under it , did not understand God in His work in His greatness , as he did not make use of the holy propriety that this called people was so much in need of , so that by the holy propriety he might have received grace before God .

Peace to you , My people Israel ! I am above you and I come with you by word , as I was with Israel in a pillar of cloud and fire to the land of the promise , but I come with you , with My glory by word and I call you Israel from the end . Behold , Israel , I come to meet you with My word , declared for you above the manger of My word . Israel means faithful people . Be faithful Israel , as the remnant of Israel was , the remnant that remained after Israel forsook Me ; for I made the salting food , which I ploughed the ground with , sons , from the faithful remnant of Israel . And who were those from Israel ’ s remnant ? They were Peter , Paul , Jacob and John , and all My apostles , who preached My name and the kingdom of heaven to the ends of the earth . My people from today , I made of this remnant of Israel a host of apostles and prophets and saints and I salted the earth with the salt of My word , which was flowing by the mouth and spirit of these heavenly servants on the world . I salted the world with My word through them , as after My ascension I told them this : « Go and preach that God ’ s kingdom has come near . Go to the ends of the earth and baptize those that believe in the name of the Father , of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ». Amen .
