Holiness as brilliance refers to God's role as revealer and ____.

• A. Prophet
• B. Priest
• C. King
• D. Judge

Answer: (B)

Holiness as brilliance highlights God's radiant, revealing presence in the world. He shines truth into human experience, making Himself known. That revealing function is paired with a mediating, sanctifying role: the priest. Priests act as intermediaries who carry divine blessing to the people and present offerings and prayers that apply God's holiness to humanity, making reconciliation possible. So, the combination of God as revealer and as priest captures how holiness shines forth and actively sanctifies and reconciles His people. The other roles—prophet, king, or judge—focus more on specific aspects of God’s authority and action rather than the mediating, sacrificial function that completes this idea of holiness as brilliance.
