Yet I, GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, WHO had never been permanently visible even to My angels of the nearest spheres, knew very well that by this query the celestial spirits were confronted with completely new ground in Heaven; indeed, they asked themselves how could GOD, WHO is not fully visible even to us, appear plainly visible and perceptible on a world whose inhabitants cannot muster even the slightest degree of celestial spirituality. For did not GOD THE LORD say even to His greatest prophet on Earth, Moses:
"You cannot see MY FACE; for man shall not see ME and live!" (Exodus 33/20)
