Midras Yesaya 52:6: Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer & Midrash Tehillim

Another interpretation (of Exod. 6:3): AND I APPEARED UNTO ABRAHAM, UNTO ISAAC, AND UNTO JACOB AS EL SHADDAI, BUT BY MY NAME Y--H I WAS NOT KNOWN TO THEM. I did not proclaim⁴¹From the Gk.: parresiazesthai, i.e., “to speak freely.” it to them <even> if it was pronounced,⁴²Although the Divine Name appears several times in Scripture before the time of Moses, and was specificially revealed to Abraham (Gen. 15:7) and Jacob (Gen. 18:13), the Holy One had never before revealed it in answer to a specific request and never pronounced it in the way that he did for Moses in Exod. 3:14. but to you I have revealed it because you are going to redeem Israel, so as to make them prosper.⁴³Exod. R. 6:4. The Holy One said: In this world I have revealed my name to individuals, but in the world to come, I am making my name known to all Israel, as stated (in Is. 52:6): THEREFORE MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME….

Moses said before the Holy One, blessed be He: Sovereign of all worlds! Make known to me Thy great and holy Name, that I may call on Thee by Thy Name, and Thou wilt answer me, as it is said, "And God said unto Moses, I am that I am" (Ex. 3:14). "And God further said (to Moses)" (Ex. 3:15).

"Upon the snail and the clam you shall tread", as Noah who was in the Ark for twelve months would walk upon snakes and they would not harm him, as it is said, 'Upon the snail and the clam you shall tread, for in Me there is desire.' Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said in the name of Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair, "Why do the people of Israel pray in this world and not receive an answer? Because they do not know the explicit Name. But in the future, the Holy One, blessed be He, will inform them, as it is said, 'Therefore, My people shall know My Name.' At that hour they will pray and be answered, as it is said, 'He will call upon Me and I will answer him.'" Rabbi Yitzhak said in the name of Rabbi Acha, "If they seek Me at the time of trouble, I will answer them, as it is said, 'He will call upon Me and I will answer him.'" Asaph said to Israel, "Whoever saves you, honor him in prayer, for he saves you from distress and gives you honor ('he will bring you out and bring you honor'). Rescue him and honor him." "This is one of the difficult verses regarding the salvation of Israel, for their salvation is the salvation of the Holy One, blessed be He."
