“The catchword glory is used wherever the final state of affairs is set apart from the present and whenever a final amalgamation of the earthly and heavenly spheres is prophesied. Glory is the portion of those who have been raised from the dead, who will thus become as the angels or the stars of heaven (Dan. 12.3; I Enoch 50.1; 51.4). Glory is then the mark not only of man, however, but also of conditions, the ‘state’ in which they live, the heavenly Jerusalem (Rev. 21.1ff.; II Bar. 32.4), or of the eschatological ruler (II Bar. 30.1)” -Klaus Koch, The Rediscovery of Apocalyptic
