If you read the Bible, you would understand why God hides Himself.
Moses asked to see God. Read what God said:
"Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."
And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." "
Exodus 33:18-20
Furthermore, God revealed HImself in a cloaked fashion to the children of Israel. Read their reaction:
" When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die."
Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning." "
Exodus 20:18-20
God also became so provoked at the stubborn rebellion of Israel that He said this:
"I have seen these people," the LORD said to Moses, "and they are a stiff-necked people. Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation." "
Exodus 32:9-10
Later God said this:
"The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, "Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die."
The LORD said to me: "What they say is good. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account."
Deuteronomy 18:15-19
We are told in the New Testament that this Prophet like Moses was the Lord Jesus Christ (see Acts Chapter 3).
Indeed , far more that a prophet, this is what is written of Him:
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
Colossians 1:15-17
Yet His own people rejected Him, and became scattered throughout the nations for nearly 1900 years. Yet not all rejected Him, because God has always kept a remnant for Himself among the Jews. As for those who accept Him as Lord and Messiah it is written:
"He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
John 1:11-13
If you will by simple faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ, you too will be saved and you will know the meaning of this Name: Immanuel - God with us.
