Lord of Glory


 


Lord of Glory

I’m continuing to make my list of names of Jesus.  This morning I’m in 1 Corinthians, where I ran across this verse:

1 Corinthians 2:8 KJV  Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Lord of glory.  I didn’t remember this name for Jesus.  A mirror of an Old Testament passage:

Psalms 24:7-10 KJV  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.  8  Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.  9  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.  10  Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Several of my beloved compound names of Jehovah found here:

Lord strong and mighty - Jehovah-'Izoa Hakaboth

Lord mighty in battle - Jehovah-Gador Milchamah

Lord of hosts - Jehovah-Sabaoth


The Greek word translated as ‘glory’ is:

Strong’s G1391

δόξα

doxa

dox'-ah

From the base of G1380; glory (as very apparent), in a wide application (literally or figuratively, objectively or subjectively): - dignity, glory (-ious), honour, praise, worship.

Total KJV occurrences: 168


Other meanings contained within the Greek word:

Lord of dignity

Lord of honor

Lord of praise

Lord of worship

He is the pinnacle.  You can find no higher peak than Jesus, no matter how widely you search.  He is the apex. . . the alpha and the omega.  He encompasses all.  He is the fulfillment, the completion, the answer to all questions, the solution to all problems. . .

He knows all. . .

He created it all. . .

The depth of His love is without end. . . 

Thank You MY Lord. . .

I love You MY God. . .

A Measurement Standard. . .

Image
A kilogram is currently defined by a standard cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy which is kept at the International bureau of weights and measures near Paris, France. On May 20th of this year a new definition will replace the platinum-iridium artifact association. The new definition will be: taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.62607015×10−34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m2⋅s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ΔνCs. A second is defined as the amount of time a cesium-133 atom takes to vibrate 9,192,631,770 times. A compass points to the magnetic pole of the earth to determine the direction north. A meter is defined as 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of orange-red light, in a vacuum, produced by burning the element krypton-86. In each of these cases, a measurement is determined by something outside of what is being measured. . . something independent of the measurer. Where am I going with this? For t...

How to Find a Great Church. . .

or Beetles and Bell Curves. . . The following is expanded from a talk that I gave at a men's meeting at the Elkhart County Jail March 11, 2009 Many years ago I heard on the radio, or read in a magazine or book, or saw on television. . . I just cannot remember even what medium I saw this on. . .anyway,  a scientist talked about what he could deduce about God from the design of the universe.  This man's response fascinated me and I have continued to ponder upon it for some twenty or twenty-five years after hearing it. This scientist said that he could tell two things about God from the design of the universe.  The first being that God has an inordinate love of beetles.  Zoologists have catalogued roughly 700,000 species of insects and almost half of those are various kinds of beetles.  Of all living plants and animals roughly 20% of that entire number are beetles.  That was the first thing that this scientist noticed about God's creation. The second thing was...
