Subject: Did Moses seen God face to face? |
Bible Note: Ge 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. Here it is very clear my friend, Jacob seen God face to face about manoah and his wife it is stated it is only thier manifestation, and if you read it carefully there is an explaination that they are mistaken. But in the writings of Moses about jacobs there is no manifestation afterwards, moses was very sure in his writings. He is the man of God a representative of the law, we know he knew what he is doing, otherwise what kind of prophet he is? Your Statement:"But, he did not see his face, but His back (Exo 33:20-23)." You are truly right in this particular instances, let me again put the wrote of John: Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Did John emphasize any part of God? Did John mentioned face only or back or right jew of left hand? He said "No man hath seen God at any time;" I dont care it is back or feet but the God Himself. Your statement"All of these could of been Jesus. He had other preincarnate appearances." NO! The God that moses knows at the time is God the father, He gave His name to moses, and it was Jehovah, in the KJV (althought some translations it was Yaweh.)And in the new testament Jesus Christ never mentioned that His own name was Jehovah. We know that Jesus Christ, as the God the Son is existed before the world created but His existence is not yet proclaim to the human kind.: Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. In that passages it is the Father porclaim that the Throne is for God the son. Moses doesnt know that.Moses was the prophet of God he know if he seen God or not, otherwise what kind of prophet he is? |
