Is it really impossible to see the face of God and live? Isaiah 33 seems to suggest:Genesis 1:14 This is when time began. The celestial objects we use to measure time, which is the passing of our existence, did not exist themselves until this fourth day. The Earth already existed and was being repaired and prepared for man. What this would suggest is that Earth is the oldest object in the universe. We are unable to measure time from the first day to the third because time did not exist. It would also suggest that any other life forms in the universe would be no older than man thus ruling out intelligent beings more far advanced than man.
Even light as we know it did not exist until the fourth day but regardless of this their light is recorded as shining on the Earth when the vast distances involved would by human science be declared impossible.
Humans are extremely limited beings created after the fourth day in time and subject to the physical only. Here now in the twenty first century some of our kind called scientists have theories about creation that eliminate a creator. In the final analysis they are engaged in an exercise of futility. To truly understand the universe one would have to possess a common frame of reference to whatever caused creation. They would have to accept the facts , the details and specifics of the causer. I believe that if this information began to enter their minds it would prove to be terminal. It would be comparable to seeing the face of God.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless: y “Who among us can dwell z with the consuming fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?” is33v15 15 [†] a He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed b and shuts his eyes from looking on evil, is33v16 16 [†] he will dwell on the heights; his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks; c his bread will be given him; his water will be sure. 17 [†] d Your eyes will behold the king in his beauty; e they will see a land that stretches afar.
