Moses asked the LORD to show him his glory:

Exodus 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

  19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

However, the LORD responded by saying that he would make all his goodness pass before Moses.

And, also, the LORD said that he would proclaim the name of the LORD before Moses.

So, is that how the LORD shows his glory, by those two things?

Is the LORD's glory shown by all his goodness?

Is the LORD's glory shown in the proclaiming of the name of the LORD?

Or is the LORD's glory explicitly shown by the LORD, himself, proclaiming the name of the LORD?

Clearly, there is much in a name, and there is much in the proclaiming of the name.

Those of us that are saved believed in the name of Jesus:

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

I John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Then the LORD comes to Moses, and the LORD proclaims the name of the LORD:

Exodus 34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

  6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

Then the LORD makes all his goodness to pass before Moses, by the LORD himself passing by Moses.

Then, again, the LORD proclaims the name of the LORD.

Then the LORD proclaims the name of the LORD God.

Then the LORD declares attributes of the LORD: mercy, grace, longsuffering, goodness, and truth.

If that is what the LORD himself does, how much more should we do it like that?

When we pray, do we first worship the LORD by proclaiming his name?

Then do we further worship the LORD by declaring his attributes?

Or do we often skip that, and immediately jump to making petitions?

 

Another question, when the LORD descended in Exodus 34:5, was that a pre-incarnate Christophany?
