Ryan Roman Someone just gifted me this knowledge on another forum. Pieces all click together and fit well. Passing it along on the chance you find value in it as well.

By the way, here's a quick translation key that undoes a lot of King James' edits. Actually, it's an UNtranslation key, as what I'm giving you here are the actual Hebrew words. If you just read the Bible with these words untranslated, you'll realize it's a whole different story.
"God" = ELOHIM (it's a plural term, a group name, like the Yankees or the Democrats or the Spice Girls)
"the Lord" = YAHWEH (a singular proper name, the name of *one of* the Elohim)
"glory" = KAVOD ("a heavy, powerful object" (basically, to begin with))
"spirit" = RUACH (something that flies without moving its wings, like a raptor gliding)
"angel" = MALACHIM ("emissary" or "messenger"
Remember this verse, that sounded illiterate, even for the flowery 17th century prose of the KJV? "The Lord is a man of war. The Lord is his name." Your brain goes, "But... it's NOT his name, it's his title." Untranslate it.
