Enoch couldn’t have seen God.In exodus 33:20, God tells Moses…you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.So why do you expect me to believe that Enoch saw God and survived to tell us about it?Well, that’s a good question. But Abraham saw God. Daniel saw God. Jacob saw God. Ezekiel saw God. Isaiah saw God. And they all lived to tell the tale. So how can that Exodus verse be true if several Bible figures themselves have seen God?I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. And yeah, we’ll also look at what Enoch wrote down as well when He met God face-to-face.Turn to Ezekiel 1, and let’s get weird.Sign up for the weekly newsletter!
