Is that why he won't show himself to us?

my my, did we hit a nerve here, G?
All of these people threatening you with God revealing himself to you at the last moment of your life.. what kind of God does that kind of thing? he's going to wait until THEN to say something? No thank you very much.. I'd rather die and go to hell than worship a god like that.

God's presence and power is working all around us in all our lives and relationships, even when we doubt He is in charge, and is using everything that is happening for good reason.
We can only see and recognize as much as we empty ourselves of our own negative doubts and fears, and unforgiveness of things in the past we may not understand.
The more we let go of our past perceptions, the more free we are to see how God is working to bring about renewal. When we give up trying to change things using our own ways, but trust more in God's will for turning past suffering into future blessings, then we can receive the wisdom to see what the ideal plan is and let that be the guiding vision in our lives.
It is WE who are afraid, and block our hearts and minds with fear. The more we allow God's love to work through us and our lives, the more we can see His presence and blessings.
Instead of being afraid of changes, we can trust these are for the common good, and ask for help to prepare our hearts to be ready to receive and our minds to see.
We have to ask because God respects our free will. He designed us to learn right from wrong, so that when we recognize our errors and shortcomings and ask for correction, when our free will becomes in harmony with God's will, then there is no more separation.
Note: I think the greatest source of separation between God and man, is division between neighbors. As long as different factions, whether religious political social or national, are at odds with each other, and not working harmoniously together to prepare our houses to receive, if we do not repent of our hateful conflicts and ask forgiveness that God's will may step in and correct the wrongs, then God is still waiting on us.
Who wants to visit a house where the neighbors are still fighting amongst themselves. When we learn that we must live and work together, that is when God can better bless us with wisdom and ways to accomplish this to bring heaven on earth.

..."perfect Love takes away all fear"... and He does show Himself... you might be just a weee'bit to blind to see. It's spiritual... not flesh and bone and it's all accomplished thru "faith"... (I know, too much to accept right now... that's Ok, maybe you'll take the time to get a copy of The Book and do some research for yourself... read the Book of John or rent the video... great reading, great video.... it won't hurt you a bit and give you some understanding of who He is....

No God is not afraid of us, but on your last breath, he will show Himself to you and YOU will be afraid.

My God certainly isn't afraid of me & shows me things of God. That is the Lord Jesus Christ & Father God & the Holy Spirit anointing within me.
God shows himself to me and others who truly from their heart seek God.
I have had faint visions of Jesus Christ. I saw other peoples drawn visions of Jesus Christ. I have read the beginning of Revelation where there is a written description of Jesus Christ.
I have seen a vision of Father God as a strong arm and bright cloud. Father God is too bright & strong for me to even see a vision of Father God.
One could visualize the Trinity by meditating on the time Jesus was water baptized. Hearing the voice of the Father, visualizing the Spiritual dove, & seeing the Word/Son of God be water baptized.
But one needs to consider those not yet redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Their sins have separated them from God, that God won't hear their prayer. They need to confess Jesus Christ their Lord and believe Jesus shed His Own Blood for remission of their sins and raised from the dead.

Ha! He created the world in 6 days! He created Adam out of dirt! He's flooded Noah's world and Sodum and Gamora! He has shown himself to us through Jesus Christ! With a slight hand movement he could kill us all. He is all powerful and certainly not fearful!

He has shown Himself to me.
Jesus said "He that has seen Me has seen the Father." (John 14:9)
Jesus said:
He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me, ; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and disclose Myself to him."
and: "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will loves him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. (John 14:21,23)
God does not disclose Himself openly. He did this many years ago at Mt. Sinai, and the children of Israel begged Him to never do it again. (See Exodus chapter 19 and Deuteronomy 18:1-19)
God discloses Himself to the human spirit, through faith in the message of the gospel, and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
I for one testify that these things are so, and I know many others who can testify to the same.
The Kingdom of God is now, and "The Kingdom of God is does not consist in mere words, but in power."
(I Corinthians 4:19)

God is not afraid of us, I'm sure he is wondering when we are going to get our acts together. God is everywhere, he shows himself to us daily but we just choose to ignore him, we harden our hearts and heads against him. I wonder to myself daily how God can love us. Look at us, we are mean, ruthless, vile, we kill, we lust, we are never happy, we complain, we hate, we are not the must wonderful bunch.
