If Jesus Christ was not 'the glory of the LORD' in a temple of God's making, then we should consider what alternatives exist.
If Jesus had been a man born of human parentage, then he would also have been a sinner [Romans 3:23]. He would be a descendant of Adam and bear the sin that all the generations of Adam bear. Since the only Saviour of man is God [Isaiah 43:11], a Saviour must be born without the ancestry of Adam [Luke 3:23].
This is why all Messianic claims within modern Judaism must be seen as spurious. The Messiah who returns in the future will not be born on earth, as claimed, but come from heaven.
To my understanding, God's Son came from heaven at the first advent, and God's chosen human vessel, Jesus born of Mary, was without inherited sin. This means that the Messiah was totally unique.
Hence 1 Timothy 2:5. 'For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ'.
If God was not in Jesus, as the 'Christ' or anointing, then there could not have been a Saviour on earth. That would make the angelic message of Luke 2:11 a nonsense.
'For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.'
Moses asked God for his name in order that he might be able to tell the Israelites in Egypt, who had sent him. And God said; See Exodus 3: 14; "I Am Who I Am/YHVH." You must tell them: 'The one who is called "I AM/JHVH" has sent me to you.' Tell the Israelites that I, the Lord, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, have sent you to them.
Deuteronomy 18: 18-19; YHVH, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, says to Moses; "I will send them a prophet like you from among their own people; I will put
MY WORDS in his mouth, and he and he shall speak to them all that I command, and whosoever will not heed
MY WORDS, which he shall speak in
MY NAME, I will punish, etc.
Peter confirms that Jesus was that man, when, concerning the man Jesus, he says in. Acts 3: 22; For Moses said; "The Lord your God will send you a prophet, just as he sent me, and he will be one of your own people, etc."
Did the people of his day believe that he was the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The God of our ancestors? No, they did not, for on the day of his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the people escorting him cried out, "
BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD" Verifying that they believed Jesus to be the one that God had promised that he would choose from among the Israelites, and send to the people to speak in his name.

Jesus said to Mary Magdalen in John 20: 17; “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
Whose words were these in reference to the body of Jesus which had been filled by the spirit=information=words of the Lord which had descended upon him in the form of a dove? “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up?”

GNB Catholic Study Edition Acts 3:19; "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that he will forgive your sins. If you do, times of spiritual strength will come from the Lord, and he will send Jesus, who is the Messiah he has already chosen for you. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for all things to be made new, as God announced through his holy prophets who lived long ago. For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will send you a prophet, just as he sent me, and he will be one of your own people. You are to obey everything that he tells you to do.
