The Face and the Glory: Lessons on the Invisible and Visible God and His Glory

Can God be seen or not? -[God to Moses] "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live" (Exod. 33:20).-[God] who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see" (1 Tim 6:16).-"Since then no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face" (Deut. 34:10).-Hebrews 11:27 refers to Moses as "seeing Him who is unseen."-"In the year of King Uzziah's death, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple" (Isa. 6:1).Why did Satan enter Judas twice? Days before the Passover began: "Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching ... And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve. And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them" (Luke 22:1-4).At the Last Supper itself: "And after [Judas ate] the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Jesus therefore said to him, 'What you do, do quickly" (John 13:27).While all of these verses may seem to be at first unsolvable, God has left behind answers in His Word, along rich biblical trails that are all interwoven-each one ultimately leading to the Person, work, and love of Jesus the Messiah.
