Instead of projecting what we think, let’s allow God to perform His spiritual work in us by first retruning into fellowship with Him and then studying what He provides us in His Word on the subject.

In the last verses of Exodus in Exodus 40:34-38 we read:

Exo 40:34-38
(34) Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
(35) And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
(36) And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
(37) But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
(38) For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

These verses confirm His Glory which is manifest where He dwells (Tabernacle).

Earlier in Exodus we are given the identity of who dwells between the Cherubim on the Mercy Seat.

Exo 25:22
(22) And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

His glory and dwelling is confirmed later in Isaiah and is well known amongst the Hebrew nation.

Isa 37:15-16
(15) And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
(16) O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

Just one small point: The original language of Exodus 25:22 does not have the phrase ‘mercy seat’. The Hebrew phrase is “mey’al hakaporet” - ‘from on the covering’.

Nothing I posted came close to denying God’s glory. I could never do that. But I do deny the word Sheckinah is in the Bible. If what you posted from Exodus or Isaiah is supposed to convince me otherwise, it didn’t work. Show me the ...
if you think I’m gonna say it, you’re wrong again ;)

And I have not been dissuaded from abandoning the connection of the Queen of Heaven formerly known as the Chaldean goddess, Ashtoreth. I refer you to Jeremiah Chapter 44 for an account of God’s anger regarding the Queen of Heaven.

Nor have I abandoned my aversion to the Deified Man concept.

But I never once questioned the Glory of God.
