Kretzmann's Popular Commentary

2 Chronicles 5:14

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, this being the well-known light cloud (shechinah) dwelling in the Tabernacle since the time of Moses; for the glory of the Lord, manifesting His gracious presence in this wonderful cloud, had filled the house of God. In the New Testament we have a much more wonderful manifestation of the gracious presence of God, since the eternal Word was made flesh and dwelt among men, revealing to them His glory, a glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
