SCRIPTURE

"Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom doth not his light arise?" — Job 25:3 (ASV)

Is there any number of His armies? —He is also so glorious that He dispenses His glory to His innumerable hosts of angels. Glorious as they are, they only reflect His glory; and what, then, must His own glory be? But if so, how utterly hopeless it is for man to think he can have any purity to compete with His, or that He will acknowledge it as such. Man is also by nature and birth unclean .
