Dear Sir,

Kavod(Glory) is an attribute of God. Shekinah is the process of
how the Davar (Word) through the power of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit)
can dwell in time and place. Shekinah has become associated with the Divine
Presence. The light in the Garden of Eden was in the Jewish tradition
associated with the Shekinah in that the phrase Adam drove out
et(Alef/Tav)is seen that when Adam sinned the Shekinah as Alef Tav(Alpha and
Omega)went into exile with Adam when he repented.The primorial Light
mentioned in the creation account is the light of the Shekinah and the light
of mashiach according to some traditions. Jesus was the Shekinah in the
flesh,but he hid his attribute of kavod when he walked on the earth and it
was only revealed on Mt.Tabor. The Shekinah is also associated in its
feminine aspect with the Community(Kehilla)of Israel. Shekinah embodies all
the attributes of God that have been made manifest.Shekinah is the
Primordial Adam (Man ) in which Adam and Eve where made in the image of.It
is this Primordial Light that will create the new Heavens and the new earth.
As the Shekinah dwelt in the Jewhish Temple so now he dwells in his Temple
-the Body of Mashiach.

Paul,

I believe you are correct on the spiritual implications of the
Canaanite tribes. Their names indicate the enemies that must be
concurred for us to live in our individual "promised land." Our
individual promised land is the place of maturity where we fulfill
heaven's greatest goals and destinies for our lives.

Most of the meanings can be seen in Strongs or in context of their
actions such as the Hivites. The Girgashites were gotten from a Bible
Encyclopedia.

Deu 7:1  When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither
thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee,
the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

Hittites:
   Fear - to break down either by violence or by confusion and fear

Girgashites:
   Idolatry - worshiper of the Egyptian god of light

Amorites:
   Pride - publicity, boast self

Canaanites:
   Self-devaluation - humiliate, vanquish, bring down low, to
   subjection

Perizzites:
   Isolation - separate

Hivites:
   Deception - Lied and made a covenant with Israel. (Josh 9:7)

Jebusites:
   Influenced by the world's sin - loath, tread down under foot, be
   polluted

Harland Miller, Pastor
