"When I look to God's throne, I see much, yea, inaccessible majesty in it". and this he expresses in God's covering of it, and spreading a cloud over it. He will not let his glory out and [appear] on the creatures, for a blink of it would consume and eat them up. Therefore as Moses put a veil on his face when he spoke with the children of Israel, so he puts these heaavens between his glory and us, which is called the spreading of a cloud between him and us, that we in the state of mortality may have a being before him for a time. For if the firmament were away, his glory would consume God's creatures. [James Durham]
