No one’s seen God, but we’ll see Him then. We’ll stop writing names in our own Books of Life, and find His name on our foreheads. We’ll stop counting days of our own victories, though we reign for a thousand years. And we’ll learn that the end is forever, and forever is good.
The people gathered around the throne. The world, four creatures, twenty-four elders, angels and all creation gathered there. Everything worked in harmony. All things were right and good—the complexities of science designed by God for all mankind, and the simplicities of truth. God reigns over all.

"And for everybody and for everything..." - how the Orthodox people traditionally complete the Great Ektenia, or the Litany of Fervent Supplication. Amen! :-)

Forever is good. God reigns over all. Perfect
A very valueable message
More should listen to the word of God, i want to reign with him forever. To bow before him would I be able to speak at all, just to be in his presence.
Moses saw God.
Neat point. As did Jacob and others. But there are also verses that say no one can see God and live. Some suggest the "seen" God is the person of Christ. Others that "see" refers to visions. And others that we "see" something indicative of God's presense, such as a burning bush, without fully seeing God.
Let it be.
Amin.
"Forever is good..."
I wish I knew how to spell out a happy, blissful sigh.
"Everything worked in harmony. All things were right and good-the complexities of science designed by God for all mankind, and the simplicities of truth..."
So things were supposed to be that way?
Thanks, Sheila. I like this very much.
The phrase no one can see god and live means no one without being in the spirit can live. Moses was transfigured by the spirit. The God of the old testament is Jesus in the NT
