(SEE 13:20)

Manoah said to his wife, "We are sure to die, because we have seen God!"

But his wife answered, "If the LORD had wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted our offerings; he would not have shown us all this or told us such things at this time."

Hagar asked herself, "Have I really seen God and lived to tell about it?" So she called the LORD, who had spoken to her, "A God Who Sees."

Jacob said, "I have seen God face-to-face, and I am still alive"; so he named the place Peniel.

I will not let you see my face, because no one can see me and stay alive,

I stood between you and the LORD at that time to tell you what he said, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. "The LORD said,

and said, 'The LORD our God showed us his greatness and his glory when we heard him speak from the fire! Today we have seen that it is possible for people to continue to live, even though God has spoken to them.

Has any human being ever lived after hearing the living God speak from a fire?

I said, "There is no hope for me! I am doomed because every word that passes my lips is sinful, and I live among a people whose every word is sinful. And yet, with my own eyes I have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

He touched my lips with the burning coal and said, "This has touched your lips, and now your guilt is gone, and your sins are forgiven."

No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him.
