There, created glory, or the "2nd air," is described as a prophetic intermediary of some sort between God and man.
In Saadya's Commentary on the Book of Creation (Tafsîr Kitâb al-Mabâdî), we learn more about the created glory in Saadya's doctrine of a "2nd air".
It is in seeing the created glory that the prophet knows his prophetic encounter to be true (though, as mentioned above, Saadya suggests that the prophecy of Moses lacked this visual aspect, consisting in an encounter with created word alone).
What is clear, in any case, is that it is through his descriptions and analyses of created word and created glory that Saadya strives to unambiguously ground the legitimacy and objectivity of prophecy, and hence, of tradition itself.
This reading would suggest that created glory is not only a source for prophecy, but is, at least prima facie, a cosmic intermediary, playing an intermediating role in the prophetic encounter.
In addition, then, to this "created word" auditory phenomenon revealed to the prophet, Saadya's doctrine of prophecy also involves the "created glory", a kind of visual element of the prophecy, described in particular by Saadya as the verification mechanism for the prophet.
We created "Glory" in that spirit.
And yet it creates glories.
The UK's Ross Brawn, one of the top engineers and strategists in F1, who had a strong hand in creating the glory days of F1 teams including Benetton and Ferrari, just a month ago put together a leveraged buy-out of the former Honda F1 team.
Or the look of a skyline, where the man-made and the natural combine to create visual glory.
