In Moses' encounter with God in Exodus 33 and 34, he asked God to shown him His glory. We read about it in Exodus 33:17-19 and 34:5-7.
Moses requested of God that He show him His glory (33:18). After making it clear that He will not reveal His full glory to Moses, and that He is sovereign in bestowing His saving grace upon men, God manifests Himself to Moses. There is absolutely no description about how anything looked to Moses; we find here only the recorded words of God to Moses, words, which declared His attributes. God's attributes are the manifestation of the "glory of God."
A similar linking of God's attributes and God's glory is found in the first chapter of Paul's epistle to the Romans (1:18-23).
God revealed Himself in nature. In nature the invisible attributes of God are displayed (specifically, God's eternal power and divine nature, verse 20). Men exchanged the "glory of the incorruptible God" for the image of corruptible men and other earthly creatures (verse 23). The attributes of God are God's glory, and men are therefore obligated to glorify God in response to the revelation of such attributes. Sinful men do not glorify God, and consequently they prove themselves to be guilty sinners, rightly under divine condemnation. I wish to emphasize that the attributes of God and the glory of God are very closely associated, so much so that we might say God's glory is the sum total of who God is, and who God is, is defined by His attributes.
Our hope is based on the expectationthat God's superior glory is so overwhelmingly attractive that the endless ages of eternity will not diminish our satisfaction with His glory.
We have caught only glimpses of that glory through the eyes of faith but our appetite has been aroused to want more.
Look at the privilege granted unto us in the gospel: "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." (2 Cor 4:4-6)
