17, 18 "And I will get me honour (Ikhabhedha, I will be glorified) upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, &c." Ezek. 28. 22 "Thus saith the Lord God, Behold I am against thee O Zion, and I WILL BE GLORIFIED in the midst of thee: And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her." So Ezek. 39. 13. "Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown, the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God." And this is spoken of as the end, both of the executions of wrath, and in the glorious exercises of mercy, in the misery and happiness of another world. Rom. 9. 22, 23. "What if God willing to show his wrath, and make his power known, endured with much long suffering, the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory". And this is spoken of as the end of the day of judgment, which is the time appointed for the highest exercises of God's authority as moral governor of the world; and is as it were, the day of the consummation of God's moral government, with respect to all his subjects in heaven, earth and hell. 2 Thes. 1. 9, 10. "Who ⟨p. 74⟩shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe". Then his glory shall be obtained, with respect both to saints and sinners.
