Wow! Amen. God is revealing truth to us everyday.

Praise be to God! The word of the LORD is truly a gift.

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality (NPD) as discussed by the DSM-5 (by definition, all I need is 5 out these 9 criteria for a diagnosis of a narcissist, but as you see, the Bible god Yahweh, fits ALL 9 of these criteria): 1. A grandiose sense of self-importance, i.e. exaggerates talents and expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements. (Job 38:4 & 31-35, Psalm 19:1, Isaiah 42:8, Jeremiah 32:17 & Romans 1:18-20) 2. Preoccupation with fantasies of ideal love, success, knowledge, power, and beauty. (Isaiah 45:23, 52:12-15 & 53:1-12, Jeremiah 3:17, Romans 14:11 & Philippians 2:10) 3. Belief that he or she is so "special" and "unique" and can only be understood by other high-status or quality people or institutions. (Leviticus 11:44, 1 Samuel 2:2, Isaiah 55:8, Habakkuk 1:13 & 1 Corinthians 2:14) 4. Is inter-personally exploitative, i.e. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends. (Exodus 7:3 & 13-14, 10:27, 11:10, 14:4 & 20:5, Deuteronomy 5:6 & 7:2) 5. Has a sense of entitlement. (Leviticus 9:18, 1 Corinthians 10:31 & Revelation 4:11) 6. Requires excessive admiration. (Exodus 25-31) 7. A lack of empathy or an unwillingness to identify with feelings and needs of others. (Numbers 11:1-3, 4-35, 16:49 & 21:4-9, Luke 9:61-62) 8. Envy of others (Exodus 20:5 & 34:14, Deuteronomy 4:24, 5:9 & 6:15, Joshua 24:19, Isaiah 42:8) 9. Arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes (I would give scriptural examples of this, but for the sake of brevity, I suggest the reader of this comment simply READ the Bible, because it’s all there.)

yes amen

Brother John, Can I suggest that you are still dancing around glory without quite grasping it. Jonathan Edwards had it right with the word MANIFESTATION. It simply means TO MAKE KNOWN or TO REVEAL the exellencies that He has but are otherwise not known. I'm so grateful to God for your books and preaching. Throughout them you assume God has glory apart from revealing it. That's not possible. He has wonderful essence. But glory IS the REVEALING of Who He Is. I.e. to make Him FAMOUS. The biggest diamond in the world, buried in some unknown mountain, has no glory. But put on the Queen’s crown, and in a museum, has glory for every eye that sees it, ear that hears about it, and mind that appreciates it. Hebrew and Greek words meaning: weight, light, ornament, are MAKING God KNOWN. He is MADE KNOWN by the farthest star in heaven, and by each newborn's first smile. He is known more by the prophets and OT in “various times and ways”, and most clearly MADE KNOWN as Jesus Christ Himself, especially on the cross MAKING KNOWN love, wrath, holiness, mercy, righteousness, sovereignty, power, humility, and everything else about our Creator. Heb 1:1-3 Now the Word and the Church spread this Gospel REVEALED knowledge of Him; thus MAKING HIM KNOWN. So whether by pillars of fire or cloud or unapproachable light or angelic beings or changed lives or suffering servants, ALL that MAKES HIM KNOWN is His glory. Like the GNP which increases every time a $ changes hands, God's glory increases every time the truth is told or observed about Him, as He is further MADE KNOWN or MANIFESTED. Blessings to you, and thank you for all your help to me.
