Isaiah 58:8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
When Solomon dedicated the temple, 1 Kings 8:11, the glory of the Lord filled the temple, which made it impossible for the priests to continue their work. This became a barrier for them to enter any further into the Temple. Isaiah tells you that God’s glory is to protect you from behind, or will prevent attacks from the rear, when you are allowing the glory of the Lord to dwell within you. You can still see the enemy attack you from the front, but God is expecting you to use your weapons He provided, in Ephesians 6:10-18. The Glory of the Lord is not mentioned in that list, because it’s a defense and not a weapon. Start allowing God’s glory to radiate through you in a strengthening way, as you study His Word.
