Yeah, we were getting into theophany and I said, I, I can't go into these as much as I would like right now. But for the purposes that I'm trying to focus on in this video, um different people react differently to the same manifestations of God. Um Jesus, well, we'll skip over that. Um Different people
react differently to different manifestations of God. And uh the glory of God is perceivable and uh endurable that the degree to which the glory of God is perceivable and endurable is determined by the glory of the spirit inside of you. And uh that is true directly in terms of what you can perceive and
withstand. It's also true indirectly because how aligned you are with God. And this is a binary question. It's not a slider determines uh what's closer to a binary than it is a slider determines how fully you are enveloped in the spirit. And when you're enveloped in the spirit, you can stand in glory
, you can stand in the presence of beings of glory while in the flesh and not have your flesh consumed. But you can only do so because that spirit, the Holy Ghost is a filter and filters make it easier to see things that you couldn't otherwise see because you would be saturated, overwhelmed, overcome
. But they do so by blocking a lot of what's there. So one's inherent glory is very important because without it, you cannot experience the full range of what is there. You can stand and you can be comfortable and you can have peace. You can enjoy the peace that's provided by a degree of glory of that
being in whose presence you stand, that lies far beyond your own. It lies beyond anything you could have of yourself, but you cannot experience them fully. And because of that light, truth and joy, they're all intertwined because of that. You cannot experience the fullness of joy. You would if you could
experience this being fully. So I could say a lot more about that. And I'm not going to right now. Uh I, I've said what I said because it's necessary to understand what I'm going to say. Now, Moses saw this bush burning with fire because the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in that flame. Moses was
standing and he looked and he beheld the fire. We read this and we just say, yeah, OK, whatever we see it in the movie, whatever you have to understand that Moses was an exceptionally rare individual when it comes to the degree of glory which he held, he had more glory than almost anyone ever born. He
came to this world with it and he still possesses it more so actually, in fact than he did at that time. And so for him to be able to see this fire and to stand there first to look at it, because we think that our experience is tied much more to our eyes than it is in some ways, in other ways, we should
understand more of it than we do. But your experience goes far beyond this. When I first saw the Lord, before I processed it optically, I knew he was there and it, I felt it if I knew what that was. And I looked down immediately because at that point in my life, I had not lived according to that experience
, I looked down immediately. It wasn't, it was involuntary. I looked down, I could not look at his face. I didn't see his face at that time, but it wasn't my optical response that did that. It was my spirit. When Gabriel appeared to Daniel and Daniel was righteous enough that the Lord bragged about him
. He said this is an example of righteousness. Um When Daniel, when Gabriel appeared to Daniel, Daniel immediately collapsed on the floor, not in worship. He was dying because the glory was so overwhelming. He could not remain on his feet. He says this wasn't just a physical experience. His, his, his
comeliness became corruption, which is a beautiful way that the King James translators rendered this idea of the glory of God turns everything that you thought was good about you into filth. Not just filth because filth is dirty and disgusting. Right? It turns it into utter weakness. Utter nothingness
. It's like everything you thought was strength turns into an anchor that just crushes you because it's so nothing compared to what's before you and most people don't want to experience that truth be told. Right? How would you like everything good in your life to instantly be taken from you and just
leave you with a void, right? All the joy you ever had from all those things. All the satisfaction just turned to nothing in a second and to be instantly blasted with irrefutable evidence that what is available and what is actually good is immeasurably better than anything you've ever imagined and you
don't have it. You are as different from that as you could be. Uh as Isaiah put it uh as different as the heavens are from the earth. That's how distant it is. So it takes a monumental amount of faith to see that as a good thing. On one level, the most basic to say God is good. Therefore any revelation
of Him is also good. I will take it and I will, I will treasure it. And on another level to say, I cannot move towards what I do not yet conceive of. And in showing me what is better. He's giving me a way to go there and that's why I like it. That's, that's the next level. Right. Moses minding his own
business just doing his job with his sheep as a servant. He was, he was stripped of all these outward, uh inculturated signs of meaning. And then just in the depths of human experience as far as he had been raised and he had to conquer that in what he believed. And here he sees this bush, what is his
natural reaction? The first thought he has was to look at it. So he wasn't looking, he saw it or he felt it and he looked OK. And he's not just like he stared at this thing. And then he says this. So this is Exodus three verse three. And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight. Why
the bush is not burned. So Moses's reaction. So the reaction of most people, this should be a meme. Somebody wants to make this and send it to me. I'll get a laugh. So the reaction of most people is uh I'm thinking of the, the Vince mcmahon meme with the eyes getting brighter. Um The reaction of most
people is to just collapse and die. That's if you want to know why God can't reveal himself more to most people. It's because they would die. Uh They're not worthy of the Holy Ghost and that's required to protect them. Um If even if they were, they wouldn't be able to see anything because the glory in
them is so miniscule you can't perceive beyond very much beyond what you've become. But he doesn't flop down and die. And then some, you know, it's a triangle. If you go up the pyramid, some few will talk about, um, Jacob here in a second. Well, let's just talk about. So, when the same ball of fire appears
to Jacob, I've written about this, I've seen this Jacob collapses and he crawls, slowly takes him a whole night to get to the Lord just on his face doing the best he can. His legs blown out of socket from the explosion of the appearance. When he finally gets there, he grabs onto the feet of the Lord
and just this like final lethal, uh, uh, terminal, sorry, not lethal terminal lurch to God to the feet of Jesus and he grabs his feet and he just holds a because that's all he could do. Fighting against the lack in him. That's all he could do. And he just, he just
