Is seeing always with the physical eye?
How was Moses able to SEE Him
who is INVISIBLE???
How were the disciples and the
apostate Jews able to SEE Christ coming on the clouds?
By Tuese Ahkiong
Hebrews 11:27 By faith he
(Moses) left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he
endured as SEEING HIM WHO IS
INVISIBLE.
In Scripture “to see” is not
always recognizing something physical with one’s eyes. Even in our language today, “to see” can
mean to recognize, to understand, to be aware of, to perceive, to acknowledge,
to affirm that which is not physical, but a proposition, a concept, a reality
(like a spiritual reality). Do you
see? Lol. So, most modern day Christians limit the
definition of seeing physically. If
the definition is NOT limited to physical sight then yes, one can see Him who
is invisible.
Romans 1:20 For HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES,
namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived,
ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So
they are without excuse.
Colossians
1:15-16 He is the image of THE INVISIBLE GOD, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven
and on earth, visible and INVISIBLE, whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
1 Timothy 1:17 To the
King of the ages, immortal, INVISIBLE, the only God, be
honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
**How can a person today see
God? By having a pure heart.
Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are THE PURE IN HEART, FOR THEY SHALL
SEE GOD.
**How does one get a pure heart
since Scripture teaches that man’s heart is wicked, sinful, impure?
John 3:3 Jesus
answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS ONE IS BORN AGAIN HE CANNOT SEE
the kingdom of God.”
**Man must be born again by the
grace of God in order to get a pure heart.
Thus, he is able to see God’s Kingdom and see God NOW. see my article "Born again because one has been born of God."
**The Kingdom of God is perceived
spiritually. It came in power and
great glory before the last of Christ’s disciples died and at the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple.
Matthew 16:27-28 For the Son
of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father,
and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say
to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until
they SEE THE SON OF
MAN COMING IN HIS KINGDOM.”
***Yeshua said that some of His disciples would still be alive to SEE the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom. Either it happen of Yeshua is a liar! No worries, Christ is not a liar like most futurists Christians make Him. He returned and some of them saw Him coming in His Kingdom. see John 21:20-23.
***“COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN”
is an apocalyptic description of God’s judgment, presence, glory. The judgment upon Jerusalem was CHRIST APPEARING A SECOND TIME. See Heb 9:28 Those in Christ experience His presence NOW! see my other article "Cloud Comings in the Bible."
Matthew 24:30 Then will appear in
heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the
earth will mourn, and they will SEE
THE SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS
OF HEAVEN with power and great glory.
**The above event, along with everything from v4-33 were to happen in that 1st century "this generation" that Christ spoke of in Matt 24:34 "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place."
Matthew 26:64 Jesus said
to him (the high priest), “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will SEE THE SON OF MAN seated
at the right hand of Power and COMING
ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”
Mark 9:1 And
he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will
not taste death until they SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD after it
has come with power.”
Mark 14:62 And
Jesus said, “I am, and you will SEE THE SON OF MAN seated at
the right hand of Power, and COMING
WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”
Luke 9:27 But I
tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until
they SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”
***The saints and the aints (apostate jews) saw The Son of Man Coming in the clouds of heaven with great glory and power to judge apostate Israel. The sign that Christ was in heaven, vindicated as The Messiah, God, was Jerusalem destroyed. Revelation 1:7Behold, he is COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, EVEN THOSE WHO PIERCED HIM, and ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH WILL WAIL ON ACCOUNT OF HIM. Even so. Amen.***Christ is coming with the clouds.***Every eye will SEE Him, even those who pierced Him. Who pierced Yeshua? The apostate Jews crucified Christ. Acts 2:23, 36, 4:10. ***Do you noticed how this event is tied in with Matt 24:30 where all the tribes of the earth (or land) wail or mourn? Well, this Matt 24:30 happened in that 1st century "this generation" as Yeshua said. Therefore, this Revelation passage, being the same subject happened. Plus, the things within the book of Revelation are said to be near, coming soon, at hand, shortly come to pass... see my article on "The Time statements within the book of Revelation." **See my article on "The Conversion of Saul" Scripture teaches that Saul/Paul never seen Yeshua physically but it does teach that Paul saw The Lord. 1 Corinthians 9:1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? ***Did Paul see Jesus in physical form? No. Did Paul see Jesus? Yes.
FAITH
IS A GIFT OF GOD. It is my prayer that God by His amazing grace grant you eyes to see Him, The Most Glorious One.
Philippians 1:29 For it HAS BEEN GRANTED TO YOU THAT FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST YOU SHOULD NOT ONLY BELIEVE in him but also suffer for his sake,
Acts 11:18
When they heard these
things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the
Gentiles also GOD HAS GRANTED REPENTANCE THAT LEADS
TO LIFE.”
