No man has seen the face of God, that is, had a full revelation of his glory, Exodus 33:20 John 1:18 1 Timothy 6:16. To see him "face to face," is to enjoy his presence, Genesis 32:30 Numbers 14:14 De 5:4, and have a clear manifestation of his nature and grace, 1 1 Corinthians 13:12. Easton's Bible Dictionary Means simply presence, as when it is recorded that Adam and Eve hid themselves from the "face [R.V., `presence'] of the Lord God" (Genesis 3:8; Comp. Exodus 33:14, 15, where the same Hebrew word is rendered "presence"). The "light of God's countenance" is his favour (Psalm 44:3; Dan. 9:17). "Face" signifies also anger, justice, severity (Genesis 16:6, 8; Exodus 2:15; Psalm 68:1; Revelation 6:16). To "provoke God to his face" (Isaiah 65:3) is to sin against him openly.The Jews prayed with their faces toward the temple and Jerusalem (1 Kings 8:38, 44, 48; Dan. 6:10). To "see God's face" is to have access to him and to enjoy his favour (Psalm 17:15; 27:8). This is the privilege of holy angels (Matthew 18:10; Luke 1:19). The "face of Jesus Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6) is the office and person of Christ, the revealer of the glory of God (John 1:14, 18). Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary 1. (n.)
