The Shekinah Glory of Christ at His Coming
The Splendor of His Light in Believers
A new day will dawn when Christ’s light will arise and shine
within believers. True believers already experience the
indwelling Christ by His Spirit. One day, He will reveal
Himself to those who fear His name, and then the righteous will
shine forth (and be resplendent) as the sun in the Kingdom of their
Father (Matthew 13:43).
The “morning star” will arise and shine within believers. We
read something similar in Daniel 12:3; that they will shine like
the stars. Believers will appear with Jesus in glory. “Christ is
our real life. When He comes back, you will shine with Him in
all His glory” (Colossians 3:4 Simplified Living Bible). “When
Christ, who is our life appears, then you also will appear with
Him in (the splendor of His) glory” (Colossians 3:4 Amplified Bible).
The word “appear” is “phaino,” which is derived from phos,
“to shine.” People who saw Jesus in glory described Him as
being brilliant light. When Moses saw God’s glory, he radiated
that glory and his face shone so brilliantly that he had to cover
it. He had experienced such concentrated exposure to God’s
presence that he wore a veil. This glory faded, but one day, it
will be permanent and believers will manifest Christ’s Shekinah
Glory.
Stephen, the first Christian martyr, reflected this glory, and his
face looked like the face of an angel. Martyrs and faithful
followers of Jesus will be given robes of pure white (Revelation
3:4,5, 18; 6:11). The word “white” is derived from the word for
light, and is used to describe the brightness of Christ Himself, in
His glory (Matthew 17:2, Revelation 1:14).
Those who are faithful to Jesus will walk in the same whiteness,
as pure as light, and not be found naked (Revelation 3:4, 5, 18).
Just as God is arrayed in garments of splendor and light, so too
