Seeing the Redeemer
9 Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up 10 and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself. 11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
Judges 13:20-23
Seeing Angels of the LORD
20 As the flame blazed up from the altar toward heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. Seeing this, Manoah and his wife fell with their faces to the ground. 21 When the angel of the Lord did not show himself again to Manoah and his wife, Manoah realized that it was the angel of the Lord.
22 “We are doomed to die!” he said to his wife. “We have seen God!”
23 But his wife answered, “If the Lord had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and grain offering from our hands, nor shown us all these things or now told us this.”
Daniel 3:25
A Son of God
25 He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods."
Jesus tells us twice that no one has seen God but Him...Yet, there are other verses in the Bible that say they have saw our Father in heaven...Job is the first that comes to my mind...But Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel....Manoah and his wife, who saw an angel of the LORD think that they have seen God, and are going to die, because they have seen Him...
I think the best explanation I can think of, is that Jesus has always been with the Father...He is God in the Flesh...God is Spirit and I do not know if the Spirit of God can be seen by anyone other than Jesus...Maybe will get to see Him in heaven...As we read the gospels, many people got to see Jesus when He was on earth...He is our Redeemer as Job speaks about a Redeemer who lives...Our Redeemer has always existed...Maybe Job saw His Redeemer, Jesus -who is God in the Flesh...Jesus is also divine, and still lives and is at the right hand of God...And the others who have seen God, have seen the Son part of the Trinity -but maybe not God Himself...And if Jesus is God in the flesh then maybe many have seen God...
I have read or heard theologians say that Jesus was the One that Jacob wrestled, and also that the fourth One in the furnace was Jesus...He was not only a Son of God, but the One and Only Son of God, who has been with God in the beginning...
We know that Jesus would not lie, and we know that He has been with God from the beginning...He may have made, and may still be making trips down from heaven to visit those in need...Believers also know that God revealed Himself to us in the four gospels through the One and Only Jesus Christ...It should not be that hard for a believer to believe that the True Son of God could make an appearance on earth whenever His Father thought was appropriate as part of His Plan...God did not have to reveal Himself to us, but He did through His Son...He wanted to dwell among us out of LOVE...He wants to be with us...So God became Man...Our Father chose to manifest Himself in the Flesh and become a Man, who walked the earth and would teach us many great things...After all, His Son's name is Immanuel, which means God with us...
