we might use it for a sunset or a sunrise, nature in some way

So far its pretty confusing.. this word glory

the very literal most basic definition is heavy, weighty

Kavod

Literally - Eli Falling cause he was heavy

We use heavy literally but we also use heavy metaphorically

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

Bible uses this literally but also uses it like this as well

Metaphor of weightiness of someones reputation

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.

he doesnt have any more kuvode

His social and societal importance is worth nothing its in the dust

Metaphorical weightyness and reputation

Metaphorical

Kuvode

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

Physical manifestation of ones importance

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

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

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

W

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

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

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

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
