It is used to describe the majesty and grandeur of God, His creation, and sometimes the glory bestowed upon His people. The concept of splendour is closely associated with divine presence and the manifestation of God's power and holiness. Biblical References: 1. Divine Splendour: God's splendour is a recurring theme in Scripture, emphasizing His supreme majesty and holiness. In <a href="/psalms/104.htm">Psalm 104:1</a>, the psalmist declares, "Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty." This verse highlights the inherent glory of God, who is depicted as being robed in splendour, signifying His exalted status above all creation. 2. Creation's Splendour: The splendour of creation reflects the glory of its Creator. In <a href="/psalms/19.htm">Psalm 19:1</a>, it is written, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." The natural world, in its beauty and complexity, serves as a testament to God's magnificent handiwork. <a href="/isaiah/6-3.htm">Isaiah 6:3</a> also echoes this sentiment, where the seraphim proclaim, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; His glory fills the whole earth." 3. Splendour of the Kingdom: The future kingdom of God is often described in terms of splendour and glory. In <a href="/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19</a>, the prophet speaks of a time when, "The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor." This passage envisions a future where God's presence provides eternal light and glory to His people. 4. Human Splendour: While human splendour is often fleeting, it is sometimes used to describe the honor and dignity bestowed upon individuals by God. In <a href="/proverbs/4-9.htm">Proverbs 4:9</a>, wisdom is personified and said to "bestow on you a crown of beauty and present you with a glorious crown." Here, the splendour is associated with the wisdom and righteousness that come from following God's ways. 5. Christ's Splendour: The New Testament reveals the splendour of Christ, particularly in His transfiguration and His second coming. In <a href="/matthew/17-2.htm">Matthew 17:2</a>, during the transfiguration, "His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light." This event provides a glimpse of Christ's divine glory. Furthermore, in <a href="/revelation/1-16.htm">Revelation 1:16</a>, John describes the risen Christ, "His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance," underscoring the radiant splendour of the glorified Christ. Theological Significance: Splendour in the biblical context is not merely about physical beauty or grandeur; it is deeply tied to the divine nature and the revelation of God's character. It serves as a reminder of God's transcendence and the awe-inspiring nature of His presence. The splendour of God and His works calls believers to worship, reverence, and a deeper understanding of His majesty. Through the lens of splendour, the Bible invites readers to contemplate the greatness of God and the hope of sharing in His glory through Christ.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><a href="/library/various/the_hymnal_of_the_protestant_episcopal_church_in_the_usa/national_days_432_judge_eternal.htm">National Days 432.
