As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking. [NASB] Ezekiel 1:28
……
We know that the rainbow is a reflection of the rays of the sun in a thin watery cloud on a rainy day, and from Ezekiel’s descriptions, Christ is represented as clothed with a cloud and a rainbow about his head. And since Christ Jesus is the brightness of his Father’s glory, and the express image of his person; the only hope of us shining as the light He made us to be, to radiate the wonderful reflection of His glorious light, to be released from the shackles that have stopped us from making progress in all of our endeavours, is to have Christ Jesus in us. Only then can we be able to reflect his risen glory over our situations. He is our only hope of living a successful life. He will make you what He is, the brightness of God’s glory.
