The terms "majesty" and "splendor" are often associated with God's own nature (<a href="/psalms/104.htm">Psalm 104:1</a>). In the ancient Near Eastern context, kings and deities were depicted with such attributes, signifying power and authority. This challenge highlights the vast difference between human and divine capabilities, emphasizing that only God possesses true majesty and splendor. The imagery of adornment suggests a transformation that is beyond human reach, pointing to the divine nature of Christ, who is described as having majesty and splendor in <a href="/revelation/1-13.htm">Revelation 1:13-16</a>.<p><b>and clothe yourself with honor and glory</b><br>The concept of clothing oneself with "honor and glory" is a metaphor for assuming a position of divine authority and righteousness. In biblical literature, clothing often symbolizes one's status or role (<a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>). Honor and glory are attributes ascribed to God (<a href="/psalms/96-6.htm">Psalm 96:6</a>) and are seen in the glorified Christ (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>). This phrase underscores the impossibility for Job, or any human, to attain such divine attributes on their own. It foreshadows the New Testament teaching that believers are clothed in Christ's righteousness (<a href="/galatians/3-27.htm">Galatians 3:27</a>), highlighting the transformative power of salvation through Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.
