2Cor.3:10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses. 3:11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

Here Paul deals with the cruxes of the issue, the law was gloriously given to Moses, it stunned the nations causing fear and trembling among the people. The new formed nation of Israel encountered Spirit and truth through God's holy angels. So fearful was the sight of the mountain smoking and shaking with a thick cloud none of the leading men wanted to go up the mountain and cowardly begged Moses to go up to talk with God.

Hebrews 12:18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm.

Hebrews 12:20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, "If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned{TR adds "or shot with an arrow" [see Exodus 19:12-13]};"{Exodus 19:12-13}
12:21 and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling."{Deuteronomy 9:19} 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

Such fear inspiring glory should have told these Israelites something? Which is, flesh and blood does not stand before the sinless God of Abraham. Flesh does not stand at all, because its is mundane not the reality of truth. Moses and the great nation only saw a shadow of truth, not the reality of truth which they could not bear the responsibility, the sheer feeling of being corrupt before the shadow of the incorruptible God YHWH!

Isaiah 6:5 Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!"

John 4:20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
4:21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

Now Paul states this reality lives in each child of God, why are you making it less than the physical corruption those Israelites fearfully ran from? How has the greatest truth ever revealed to flesh since Adam Eve sin now become your building blocks into a corruptible false religion in idolizing men of flesh? How have you fallen from holy ground into corruption of the fleshly mind where death and fear did not even want to touch the physical mountain at Moses time?

Revelation 21:10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
John 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

The glory of Christ Jesus life, the real temple of God eclipsed the Old Law of Moses for righteousness, and his glory, so greatly, there are no shadows of sin to be found in the glorious God News of Christ the sinless lamb of God. The law perfected nothing! What did the law and its temple service do? It did not remove our sins, it did not removed are judgment, and it did not give us a Father Son relationship with God. What it did do is lead us to the real glory of God Christ Jesus, it gave us a foretaste of the good things too come. It was a mere shadow found under the tree of sin of mankind that would be replaced by the last Adam having no sin/shadow or sin/corruption in the righteous life of Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 64:6 For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Here fleshly Christian's were head backwards down the mountain of YHWH into the death to the flesh left behind at the glorious resurrection of Christ defeating death and Hades giving all putting faith in him eternal life!

James 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
