Exodus 33:23

Then I will take My hand away, and you will see My back, but My face will not be seen.”

But He answered, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.”

No one has ever seen God.
The One and Only Son—
the One who is at the Father’s side—
He has revealed Him.

the only One who has immortality,
dwelling in unapproachable light;
no one has seen or can see Him,
to Him be honor and eternal might.
Amen.

Can you fathom the depths of God
or discover the limits of the Almighty?

These are but the fringes of His ways;
how faint is the word we hear of Him!
Who can understand His mighty thunder?

For now we see indistinctly, as in a mirror,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
but then I will know fully,
as I am fully known.

He obscures the view of His throne,
spreading His cloud over it.
