Revelation 10:1

Then I saw this incredibly powerful angel coming down from heaven, wrapped up in a cloud like it was his outfit. There was a rainbow sitting on his head like a crown, his face was shining bright as the sun, and his feet looked like they were made of fire columns.

I saw something that looked like glowing amber, like fire all around and through it. From what seemed like his waist up and from his waist down, everything looked like fire — and there was this incredible brightness radiating everywhere.

2 Corinthians 3:7

Here's the thing — even the old law that brought death (you know, the Ten Commandments carved in stone) came with such incredible glory that the Israelites couldn't even look directly at Moses' face when he came down from the mountain. His face was literally glowing from being with God. And that glory? It was always meant to fade away.
