Moses could see only the backside of the LORD, as the LORD passed by. There is a sense in which whatever we see or know to be true about God is always apophatic; it is always the backside of God's glory and movement. We can never in any moment be completely aware of where God is and where God is going, but only where God has been and where God is commanding us to follow. In other words, we never see God coming but only going.
And that makes this whole faith thing -- this journey with God -- quite unpredictably exciting, and even these rear glimpses we get of God quite incredibly breathtaking.
