EXTRACTS, &c.

chap. xlii. 6,8. chap. xlviii. 11. Thy light shall break forth as the morning, the glory of Jehovah shall gather thee up, chap. lviii. 8. The whole earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah, Isaiah vi. 1, 2, 3. chap. lxvi. 18. In the beginning was the word, in him was life, and the life was the light of men, this was the true light, and the word was made flesh, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the father, John i. 1, 4, 9, 14. The heavens declare the glory of God, Psalm xix. 2. the glory of God shall lighten the holy Jerusalem, and the lamb is the light thereof, and the nations which are saved shall walk in the light of it, Rev. xxi. 23, 24; not to mention several other passages to the same purpose. The reason why glory signifieth divine truth in its fulness is, because all that is magnificent in heaven is from the light which proceedeth from the Lord, and the light proceeding from him as the sun of heaven is in its essence divine truth.

See Nos. 781, 782, 783, 784, 785, 779, and 780.
