First, because there God makes himself known, reveals 1himself there, and makes his beauty to appear. Psal. 27. 4. One thing have I desired of the Lord, 2that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his Temple: It is the glory of Heaven to see God in his beauty, and this is one of the greatest promises of God to his Church,. that ⟨p. 258⟩they shall see the King in his majesty: We may see some glimmering light of God in the Heavens; Sun, Moon, and Stars; but in the Church, there God shows his beauty, there we may see the face of God; and this is that which Moses did desire; Lord-show me thy glory: It is much granted to us in the Church, in enjoying his Ordinances; and there is no way to see Gods face so clearly, as this way: Every child of God that is in the Temple, shall speak of Gods glory, for they see God in his glory in a special manner.
