Ex 24, 17-18 The glory of the LORD was seen
(Ex 24, 17-18) The glory of the LORD was seen
[17] To the Israelites the glory of the LORD was seen as a consuming fire on the mountaintop. [18] But Moses passed into the midst of the cloud as he went up on the mountain; and there he stayed for forty days and forty nights.
(CCC 2085) The one and true God first reveals his glory to Israel (Cf. Ex 19:16-25; 24:15-18). The revelation of the vocation and truth of man is linked to the revelation of God. Man's vocation is to make God manifest by acting in conformity with his creation "in the image and likeness of God": There will never be another God, Trypho, and there has been no other since the world began… than he who made and ordered the universe. We do not think that our God is different from yours. He is the same who brought your fathers out of Egypt "by his powerful hand and his outstretched arm." We do not place our hope in some other god, for there is none, but in the same God as you do: the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (St. Justin, Dial. cum Tryphone Judaeo 11, 1: PG 6, 497).
