Genesis 32:20
32:20 You must also say, ‘In fact your servant Jacob is behind us.’”
Jacob thought,
“I will first appease him
by sending a gift ahead of me.
After that I will meet him.
Perhaps he will accept me.”
Exodus 24:10-11
24:10 and they saw
the God of Israel. Under his feet
there was something like a pavement
made of sapphire, clear like the sky itself.
24:11 But he did not lay a hand
on the leaders of the Israelites, so they saw God,
and they ate and they drank.
Exodus 33:20
33:20 But he added, “You cannot see my face, for no one can
see me and live.”
Jude 1:22
1:22 And have mercy on those who waver;
Jude 1:21-23
1:21 maintain
yourselves in the love of God, while anticipating
the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings eternal life.
1:22 And have mercy on those who waver;
1:23 save
others by snatching them out of the fire; have mercy
on others, coupled with a fear of God,
hating even the clothes stained
by the flesh.
Isaiah 6:1-5
Isaiah’s Commission
6:1 In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw the sovereign master seated on a high, elevated throne. The hem of his robe filled the temple.
6:2 Seraphs stood over him; each one had six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and they used the remaining two to fly.
6:3 They called out to one another, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord who commands armies! His majestic splendor fills the entire earth!”
6:4 The sound of their voices shook the door frames, and the temple was filled with smoke.
6:5 I said, “Too bad for me! I am destroyed, for my lips are contaminated by sin, and I live among people whose lips are contaminated by sin. My eyes have seen the king, the Lord who commands armies.”
John 1:18
1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only one,
himself God, who is in closest fellowship with
the Father, has made God
known.
