Bible commentaries

It is a feminine Hebrew and Aramaic noun, The word Shekinah is from the Hebrew word “shekinot” and actually is in the Bible where God is said to “settle in” or “dwell with.” it is used when God manifests in physical forma, although in the contemporary Hebrew it is also presented as the manifestation of God's Spirit. It was a very strong glow of Light that was sometimes revealed where there was a Covenant between God and a man, Hebrews or the humankind in general. That used to occur in the Temple, and the first time on Mt Sinai. It occurred once at the inauguration of the first Temple, when the glory of God came down as a fire from heaven to burn up Solomon's sacrifice and the glory was such that no one could enter that place. A shining, brighter than the sun. In Haggai, God says to the people that " the glory (Shekinah) of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house". And that is exactly what was fulfilled when our Lord Jesus entered into the temple ( this means that the VISIBLE presence of God was there= Jesus Christ). Besides, the incarnation of Christ is already the glory of God among men as described by John: "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father" (John 1:14). The future glory of God, Shekinah, the next time the VISIBLE PRESENCE OF GOD will be manifested, is going to be the returning of Christ, according to his own words in the book of Matthew 25:31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne".
