The LORD God wore His glory before the children of Israel in the old testament, and none could see His face or touch Him. Why?
"And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off." (Exo 20:18).
Instead of seeing the LORD, they saw the manifestations of the mighty angels - the Cherubs, carrying the judgement seat the LORD is sitting on as He gave the "10 commandments". Now, the LORD has come as Christ, and none believed it was and is Him to come.
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." (Luk 2:11).
The LORD God in His glory couldn't be seen or touched then by the children of Israel in their sinful bodies. During His life time on earth, they didn't recognise Him without His glory. But how could they have except by His Words?! After His death and resurrection, to see Him, you must be born again by His Spirit, to see Him now in His full glory.
Glory to God, Peace to men.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." (Luk 2:14).
Glory and peace is directly linked together in Christ Jesus. Without Christ, it's darkness. Many have missed Him, and many still do today.
"For with God nothing shall be impossible." (Luk 1:37).
God appearing in the form of a man shouldn't still be something impossible for Him to do. He can appear in His full glory or not at His choosing, as He did already. Is next appearing will be in His full glory, and ONLY the ones born of His Spirit will be able to behold the KING of Glory!
