    "communicable" attributes of God (i.e. Gods love, or justice) are generally distinguished from "incommunicable" attributes, (i.e. Gods self-existence) (Milne 64). In discussing each perfection of God, Milne sheds light on  how these attributes of the divine can be seen as manifesting through one of the aspects of the Trinity. Glory of God The "glory of God" is a frequently used  biblical term that usually connotes a visible manifestation of Gods being (Milne 64). In Exodus 19-24, the Bible describes how God appeared to Moses at Mount Sinai. These verses describe  how God appeared as a consuming fire. Likewise, Ezekiel saw a vision of God by the Kebar River (Esk. 1)(Milne 65). In these cases, the "glory of God" refers to  God the Father, which was the aspect of the Trinity known to the ancient Israelites. In the New Testament, the glory of God is also described with metaphors  that refer to fire. In Revelations 1:14-16, Christ is described as having eyes that "blaze" fire, and his face is compared to the sun in "all its brilliance" (Milne 65).  As this indicates the brilliance of the glory of God that shone on the mountaintop in Moses time is now reflected in the face of Jesus, the  Son of God. Likewise, Paul testified that that he beheld the "glory of God in the face of Christ" (2 Cor.4:6) on the road to Damascus. At this point  in the New Testament, Jesus had already ascended into Heaven. Therefore, one can argue that while Paul perceived his vision as the face of Christ, the means by which  he had this divine revelation was via the third aspect of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost.
