I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the LORD."'As a general rule, when God makes Himself known to a large group, it's usually a bad thing for those He's making Himself known to. He often reveals some part of Himself to individuals, and that often is good. But when He is revealing Himself on a large scale, people tend not to survive the experience.
I am a bit confused about the first part of the verse, though. How can got magnify or sanctify Himself? He's already perfect, so there's nothing to further sanctify. Similarly, He's infinite, so there's no way to be magnified further. I guess maybe He's speaking of these nations' perception of Him?
