The Bible illustrates a progression from humanity's loss of direct access to God's presence due to sin, through Moses' limited encounter with God's glory, to the ultimate revelation of God's face and glory through Jesus Christ.

This is another one of my favorite like
I love the Bible. I can't believe how it
all fits together. So here here here's
what's awesome here. Okay, so you go
back to the garden and what do they
lose? What what they lose in the garden
is access to the face of the father. In
the garden they walk with him as in the
cool of the day side by side as a
friend. We lose the face of the father
because sin separates. Okay, so then you
fast forward to Moses. This is going to
be really important. It's all going to
tie together. Moses, the Bible says, is
the only guy who talked face to face
with God, quote, as with a friend. But
we know that language is mitigated
because Moses actually has this moment
where he's like with God, he just almost
like blurts out like, "Show me your
glory." And you guys remember what God
says to him. He's like, "Man, there's a
lot of things I can do for you, Mo.
There's one thing I can do. I can't show
you my face." And he says, "Because no
man shall see my face and live." And
it's one of my favorite passages of the
whole Old Testament. If you remember
what he does, that's when God takes
Moses and he put sticks him literally in
his hand, puts him in a cle in the cleft
of a rock, covers him with his hand. The
Hebrew literally says that God turns his
back to Moses and causes his quote hind
parts to pass in front of Moses and then
instead of showing him his face, he
declares verbally his glory. Moses who
the Bible says it prophesies forward
about Jesus. It says some when Moses
dies, it's prophesied someday there will
come again a prophet like me, Moses says
who speaks with God face to face as a
man with a friend. But remember, Moses
was not allowed two things in his life.
He was not allowed to see God's face and
because of Moses disobedience, he struck
the rock instead of speaking to it.
Moses was never allowed to enter into
the promised land. All right. Now, I
love this so much. So then you fast
forward to John chapter 1 and the Bible
literally says right here it says man
then the word became flesh and then it
says we have seen his glory glory as of
the only son from the father. So Jesus
is the glory of God. In fact if you go
back to the ten commandments the second
commandment is don't make any graven
images don't make any images of me. The
reason that God commanded don't make any
images of me is he was saying don't make
any images because someday I'm going to
send one. When people are looking at the
face of Jesus, they are looking at the
face of God. Okay, bro. This is where it
gets pretty amazing. So then you fast
forward to the transfiguration.
All right. So Jesus goes up on the
mountain. He brings three dudes with
him. Peter, James, and John. What they
record is they see Jesus face quote
transformed like lightning. And they see
the glory of God in the face of Jesus
Jesus Christ. And then two dudes appear
on the top of the mountain. By the way,
the mountain was Mount Hermon, which is
inside the promised land. The two dudes
who see the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ are Moses and Elijah. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> And so, thousands of years later after
Moses was denied two things. Moses, I'm
real sorry. You can't see my face and
you can't go into the promised land. And
then in Jesus, Moses is on that mountain
and he's two things. He's seeing the
face of God in the glory of Jesus
Christ. And guess where he is? He's in
the promised land.
>> Come on, man. >> Well,
>> Well,
>> oh, man.
