They will see his face and his name will be on their foreheads. – Revelation 22:4
The people of Israel had sinned against the Almighty God so much that He told Moses to take them and leave Sinai to go to the land He had promised to Abraham. However, the Lord said He would not go with them. He would send an angel instead, to help them.
As he was used to doing, Moses went to the tent of meeting outside the camp to speak to the Lord. It was there that Moses implored God to stay with His people. After the Lord affirmed that His presence would be with them, Moses asked God to show him His glory. So in the cleft of the rock, Moses was witness to a portion of the glory of the Lord.
Dear Believer, what awaits you in Heaven is even more precious than the time Moses spent in the tent of meeting. It will be a glorious time in the presence of the Lord. You will not be hidden in a cleft of a rock, but you will have full view of the shining face of God. “Night will be no more… for the Lord God will be [your] light” (Revelation 22:4-5). God will claim His children. “His name will be on their foreheads” as evidence of His adoption of those whose belief in the Savior has brought them to this place. Imagine joy to the fullest, and wisdom as you walk in the light of the Lord.
Be filled with hope and comfort in anticipation of being in the presence of God. Then pray for those who have yet to realize what awaits them when they accept the truth of the Savior Jesus Christ in faith.

8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
