Episode notes
Moses Had Already Seen God's Glory
- Moses had already witnessed extraordinary displays of God's glory before asking to see more.
- David Platt lists burning bush, plagues, the Exodus, the parted sea, pillar of cloud/fire, manna, and water from rocks as evidence Moses had seen God's glory.
Intimacy With God Yet The Warning About His Face
- Moses met with God 'face to face' yet was told no one can see God's face and live.
- Platt contrasts the intimate Exodus encounters with the Old Testament warning that seeing God's face is deadly.
Encountering God Creates Deeper Longing
- Desire for God's glory grows after encountering it; seeing God produces an insatiable longing.
- Platt argues Moses' bold request to 'show me your glory' reflects how tasting God's glory creates deeper hunger.
