Proclaimed The Name

Exodus 34:5-8 ESV

The Lord descended  in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed,The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfastlove and faithfulness, 7keeping steadfast love for thousands,forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty,visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation. 8 And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped.

Jesus would later descend to earth and stand among us. He would return to heaven, rising into the clouds. 

God gives His name to Moses as the Lord. In this way He revealed Himself and and in that way passed before Moses. Moses sought to know the Lord, to see Him, and it was granted as far as possible at that time. 

He passed before all of us in the man Jesus, bringing the Father into the realm of flesh and blood, and His name. 

In this passing, we are given insight into God, loving and merciful, but just. 

The revealing would continue in words written on stone, then on scrolls, until the time it would come to be written on the hearts of man.

It is in His name we find salvation and rest.
