When Moses saw God "face to face", it was through God's primary messenger, the Logos
(John6:46; 1:14,18; 1Cor.10:1-4).
There at Num.12:7-8, God explains what is meant by "face to face"...
At Num.12:8, God says of Moses,
"I speak face to face,
...*** clearly, and not in riddles."***
(Matt.13:10-11,34-35,13-16)
To "see God's face" is a spiritual perception, because God is not physical, but spiritual (John4:24).
When we fully behold God and Jesus' face
(1John3:2; 2Pet.1:4; 1Cor.13:12; 2Cor.3:18; 4:6; Matt.5:8; Rev.22:4; Num.6:24-26; Eph.5:13-14),
we will understand the mysteries of God (John16:25,29).

Interestingly the footnote at 1 Corinthians 13:12 for reflection says literally "we see ...indirectly"...
ReplyDelete"For now we see only a reflection[fn] as in a mirror, but then face to face..." (So then, we could say... now we see indirectly...but then it will be directly.) I just thought that the footnote gives us more clarity to the understanding.
