Lv 5

No man has seen God at anytime, so who did Isaiah see here?

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD (YHWH) sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1.

Is YHWH a created being ? I ask also because it appears that YHWH has a Maker: " Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, AND HIS MAKER, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me." Isaiah 45:11

"No man hath seen God AT ANY time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." John 1:18

Thank you for your considerate and truth seeking answers. :)

    Why is their so much confusion and partial beliefs?

    Unless one has received the teachings of Jesus,

    do not receive them,,2J verse 9.

    Let us proceed with logic. Moses had to wear a

    Veil to hide the Glory of Elohim from sinful man.

    How much more would the Glory of Elohim destroy

    anyone beholding Him at any time?There are no

    scriptures in all the bible which indicates that the

    Father ever visited this earth. In Luke 23,we learn

    that Jesus is the One who sent the prophts.Isaiah

    declares that the Eternal is the Savior and judge,

    Creator of this earth.There is no other Name under

    heaven that can be called on for Sa lvation.All

    Judgment was given to Jesus as part of the plan

    of Salvation.Jesus is the One who has lowered

    Himsef many times to appear in the morphe of

    man.

    Thus saith the Lord and ...the Maker of Israel!

    Zechariah 12,1.The Maker or Creator.

    If you would read Mt, 12,27,you perhaps could

    understand that no one knows Jesus without

    a revelation from Him.

    Isaiah had a vision.

    God is a spirit. -John 4:24. No human has ever seen God.

    Johovah lives in heaven, but he can see all things. (Psalm 11:4,5).

    Wasn't that Revelations? You are correct in your first assertions, to say that no man can gaze upon God. Firstly, HE is not as in an image that we would recognize as man or entity secondly, we have to remember as when God spoke to Moses and directed his voice in a burning bush as with the very few who made claims to have seen GOD. After their gazing upon God, their facial features to on a dazzling or radiant appearance.! Miss hair turned a purple bluish white as though his mind was filled with wisdom. Correct?

    “No man has seen God at anytime, so who did Isaiah see here?”

    A distinction is made in Exodus 33 between seeing a representation of God, and God in His true glory. In verse 11, God claims to converse with Moses “face to face, as a man speaks to his friend”. But in verse 18, Moses requests to see God’s glory and God has to deny him that request. To experience even a taste of God’s glory, Moses had to be hidden behind a rock and God turn His back to Moses. Encounters with God in scripture are always either in visions, or physical manifestations/representations – and not the face of God in His true glory. That is, they are not seeing God as He is, but as He chooses to represent Himself in a manner that we can handle.

    “Is YHWH a created being ?”

    No.

    “I ask also because it appears that YHWH has a Maker: " Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, AND HIS MAKER, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me." Isaiah 45:11”

    The “HIS” is referring to the “him” in the previous verse. That is, the maker of “him who says to his father, ‘What are you begetting?” (Isa 45:10). Personal pronouns for God are capitalised in most translations.

    We have God, gods, angels, creatures, man...in that order.

    Jesus is Creator, yes? There was no time when Jesus was not.

    No MAN...all men have sin.

    No man existed as just human without sin.

    Who could be without sin on this earth? Hm?

    We know Jesus is without sin.

    Only God could actually SEE GOD.

    Only Jesus did that.

    Amazing, yes.

    You know how the man (sinful) is the head of the woman (sinful)

    Jesus is MEDIATOR...links us through His ...sacrifice and

    divinity to the Father.

    No man has seen God in his glory at any time.

    ummm....Jacob supposedly wrestled with God almighty himself....

    ...and he even held him off all the way until morning too!

    Hence the given name "Israel" which means to struggle with god.
