This statue enhances the reputation of Joan of Arc
This statue is a physical embodiment of her importance, reputation, and significance
its a physical embodiment of her importance and reputation and significance

we use glory very infrequently but the bible uses it many times
we might use it for a sunset or a sunrise, nature in some way

Its a glorious statue of Joan of arc
So far its pretty confusing.. this word glory
Hebrew word for glory is kuvode
root word is kuvod
another word is kuved
the very literal most basic definition is heavy, weighty
18 As soon as he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell over backward from his seat by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
18 Behold, about this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall, such as never has been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.
Kavod
Literally - Eli Falling cause he was heavy
We use heavy literally but we also use heavy metaphorically
What kind of news did you just get? heavy
Someone just passed away and my heart is heavy
9/11 happened almost 18 years ago but that topic is still a heavy topic
What are we doing? Using literal images of weight to describe something that is important, serious, intense, or significant
Using literal images of weight to describe something that is important, serious, intense, or significant
Literally - Eli Falling cause he was heavy
Using literal images of weight to describe something that is important or serious intense or significance
Bible uses this literally but also uses it like this as well
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, 4 if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, 5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah
david is fleeing from his son absolom
Metaphor of weightiness of someones reputation
14 I am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me.
5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah
Metaphor of weightiness of someones reputation
President were to come to little ol hilmar, what would happen? First they would clear the roads and any way to get to the roads to protect him from any attack. And a set of guards would go before and a set of guards would be behind, to the left and to the right, and where ever he went there would almost be this invisible bubble that would go before him to protect him wherever he went, sometimes and many times it is cleared miles ahead of the president.
This invisible force is the presidents kuvode, his weightiness as president that goes before and behind
His heaviness goes before him, the invisible but real social reality of someones importance and significance
His heaviness goes before him, invisible but real social reality of someones importance and significance
and its this same kuvode that psalm 7:5 talks about.
5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah
he doesnt have any more kuvode
His social and societal importance is worth nothing its in the dust
6 Let my soul come not into their council; O my glory, be not joined to their company. For in their anger they killed men, and in their willfulness they hamstrung oxen.
Metaphorical weightyness and reputation
Metaphorical
27 It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.

do not go after making your own name great, it comes across as not good and very selfish, and it does not make your name great

1 Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has gained all this wealth.”
4 while he showed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor and pomp of his greatness for many days, 180 days.
11 And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, the number of his sons, all the promotions with which the king had honored him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and the servants of the king.
When you were a early teen did you ever have a bunch of posters up of your favorite bands or celebrities? How was your room set up? Did you ever have friends over and before they came over you set up all your doodads and trinkets and trophies and posters? What you were doing? setting up your kuvode for people to see
desk at work
Kuvode
Kuvode
Literal
metaphporical
physical manifestation of ones importance
So in these ways we could use kuvode for people
What about the word Kuvode when used with God
1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Architect builds something and shares part of his kuvode with people
so the heavens declare the kavode of God the glory, the physical manifestation of God’s greatness
God has put something in the heavens that when we look at it we can know something about God himself, the weightyness of God, the heaviness of God can be seen in the heavens
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!
required or expected in the prescribed, normal, or logical course of events
So everywhere and everything in
psalm 8
Literally - Eli Falling cause he was heavy
Metaphor

29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him! Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
this goes along with the reputation, kind of,
ascribe means attribute, assign, impute, credit
the heaviness, the importance, the greatness, the awsomeness
due - something owed, required or expected in the prescribed, normal, or logical course of events
To see God, to give god glory due his name means to understand who he really is and acknowledge him in that way
read verse again
his name, the greatest name of all
20 They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass. 21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
what should be given to god is given to an image of an ox
We sometimes do this dont we
exchange what should be god’s for something else, and when we see who god is why do we do this?
Later
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
give god’s name the weightiness, the importance it deserves
name represents all of a person, what we see and what we don’t see.
Names have meaning and power.
Zacheus, short, stocky little dude, when jesus called him in the tree he called his name, which means that he called him.
mom called you, nickname, first name, mad full name, either way, when she called, she called you..
When we call on the name of Jesus, who answers? not somebody else. Jesus. God the Son. Heavenly father, holy spirit
name matters even your name carries weight in your world
Gad’s name carries weight as well
It identifies a person, what we see and what we dont
what we know and what we dont
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
Gods name is so kovode
his name is all powerful, because he is all powerful, his name brings healing because he brings healing, his name brings salvation because he brings salvation,
his name is glorious because he himself is glorious
leads into, kovode, physical presence
10 And as soon as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel.
physical manifestation here was a flame of fire
9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.
14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
27 And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him. 28 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
19 Then Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.

7 On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.

3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? 9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. 10 Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. 12 Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 13 not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. 14 But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15 Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
