Psalm 24:10 says, "Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah."

Jehovah Sabaoth, the LORD of hosts, is His name!!  HE is the King of glory.  When I was a child, I always thought this verse was talking of the King of heaven, because my spiritual family always referred to heaven as glory:  "He was taken up to glory," "I'm in the Gloryland way," etc.  But the glory of the Lord is more than heaven.  From Strong's Concordance, we learn that the word for "glory" means "weight, splendor, copiousness."  Truly, He is weighty, He is the epitome of splendor, and He has endless abundance!  

So, Who is this King of weight, splendor and copiousness, or abundance?  Jehovah Sabaoth, the LORD of hosts, the Commander of the armies of heaven!  Talk about weight!!!  He commands the very armies of the heavens, and I am not talking about a host of girly, frilly angels, but warrior angels, mighty angels, created to carry out His every command!!!!  THIS is our King of glory!!!!  He is the most glorious LORD!!!  

With such a LORD, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31b)
