Glory

According to the search engine of Libronix software that the word Glory occurred 164 times in 146 different verses in the NKJV bible (NT).
2 Cor 4:4 NKJV
whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. This verse is telling us that the Glory of Jesus is the image of God.
2 Cor 4:6 NIV
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. this verse is telling us that we can see God's glory in the person of Jesus which means that if we see Jesus we can also see the Glory of God.
Hebrews 1:3 NIV
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. this verse is telling us that Jesus is the mirror image of God's glory and His being or His personality.
Conclusion : We can say that the Glory of God is the image of Christ.

But in other verses such as the following:
Mat 4:8 NKJV
Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. the word glory here seems to mean power and richness
Mat 6:29
and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. the word glory here seems to mean power and richness
Luke 2:14
Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” In here the word glory means praise.
Romans 5:3
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance. In here the word glory seems to mean rejoice.

I guess the word glory has diff. meaning in the bible ( NT), the context will determine the meaning of the word Glory

What do you think?
