Tabernacle in the wilderness is where God dwells. It is acknowledging God's presence in the midst of a sinful people. It is the place of where God's presence is in the OT (temporary). The kingdom of God is within us and resides with the people to give Him glory. It is being the object and message of God. God's glory and kingdom comes together in the wilderness tabernacle by having the atmosphere of the Shekiah glory raining down upon us - it is God's presence overshadowing us with His inherent glory.

Moses hungers to see God's glory because he wants to be with God (relationship as with important people). It is his desire to know God in all of His ways to praise God for this revelation. Paul presses on because his goal is to obey and see God. In myself, I hunger for more of God and do things that shows I am seeking Him. It is a hunger to please God in all of my ways. I can increase this hunger when I consider who God is and then give Him praise. It is wanting to know Him on an intimate level. This hunger cannot be satisfied but it can be dealt with by the spirit of spiritual disciplines and seeking to know His word.

With God's glory we will be accountable for doing His will and with judgment we are looked upon in terms of when we obey God. He judges our character and deeds. The purpose of consuming fire is to purify us of sin and therefore we are able to give God glory and to be in His presence. When people willfully disobey God and His laws there is judgment, we are accountable to God which shows our obedience to God and wanting to please Him. God's holiness can not coexist with sin because He is Light and all that is good. Sin is darkness and comes from the soulish part of man.

Reputation glory is worshiping God for His attributes. Derived glory is a reflection of glory from God when in his presence. Inherent glory is which only God has - independent of people. When I praise God reputation glory is involved. I praise God for Who He is (nature). The glory within me is derived glory because when I am in God's presence, people can see that I have been with God.
