Today's Favorite Verse: Leviticus 9:4

"Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the Lord will appear unto you."

In the footnote of this verse I found a scripture I had been looking for.

"And again, verily I say unto you that it is your privilege, and a promise I give unto you that have been ordained unto this ministry, that inasmuch as you strip yourselves from jealousies and fears, and humble yourselves before me, for ye are not sufficiently humble, the veil shall be rent and you shall see me and know that I am - not with the carnal neither natural mind, but with the spiritual.

For no man has seen God at any time in the flesh, except quickened by the Spirit of God.

Neither can any natural man abide the presence of God, neither after the carnal mind."

(Doctrine and Covenants 67:10-12)

This was another good footnote.

"Therefore, sanctify yourselves that your minds become single to God, and the days will come that you shall see him; for he will unveil his face unto you, and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will."

(Doctrine and Covenants 88:68)

What I love about these verses is it was the Lord that told the children of Israel when he would appear. It was his own time and in his own way. When he does appear they don't see his face like you would speaking face to face, they saw his glory and power. That is what the spirit reveals to us through the veil.
