The God the Patriarchs and Prophets Was Jesus Christ
It is necessary for Christians to believe that the only God the Patriarchs and Prophets saw was Jesus Christ; they never
saw the Father. They saw the Lord, the Almighty. But it was never ever the Father. To believe the Prophets and Patriarchs saw the Father is to contradict the Word of God:
- “No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.” John 1:18 ESV
- “not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father.” John 6:46 ESV
- God the Father “alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see.” 1 Timothy 6:16 ESV
- “And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,” John 5:37 ESV.
- No one has seen God at any time. 1 John 4:12. NASB
