"Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live" (LOL!!)
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend..."."
Exodus 33:11
This was when Jesus and the Holy Spirit took over God’s face. He could then chat with Moses because three beards covered his whole face! But when Jesus goes down into Gods tummy, God cannot talk face to face anymore.
Now, Moses had forgotten what God’s face looked like (even though he had JUST spoken face to face with him and apparently survived it as well!), so as a really neat alternative God offered Moses his ass! There is some indication that Moses was not exactly keen on this particular viewpoint, as Yahweh had to wedge Moses in the rocks to prevent him (presumably) from either running away or covering his eyes!
"And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: and I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen."
Exodus 33:20-23)
So there you have it! They talked FACE to FACE--because Moses will die if he talks face to face (as God later admits). But Moses doesn't die so God says, "Hey! Wanna see my ass?! That oughtta REALLY kill ya!"
And then LOT went and lived in a cave because his wife was a pile of iodized salt and then Jesus (the man part) was born either with god's sperm or with no sperm at all. And those are all well known facts, too... |
