Shekinah is a word that describes the presence and glory of God. In Old Testament times it was the thing that come down upon the ark of the covenant on the mercy seat.

The skekinah (pronounced, shek-eye'-nah) glory of God is not a word found in scripture but is used by Christians to express the visible, divine, shining glory of God.

Heb. 12:1 - we are surrounded by a great glory cloud (shekinah) of witnesses, our family in heaven. We are not separated. The “cloud of witnesses” (nephos marturon) refers to a great amphitheatre with the arena for the runners (us on earth), and many tiers of seats occupied by the saints (in heaven) rising up like a cloud. The “martures” are not mere spectators (“theatai”), but testifiers (witnesses) who testify from their own experience to God’s promises and cheer us on in our race to heaven. They are no less than our family in heaven.
