    Is there somewhere in the Bible that God said he would not show his self to us now?

    Exodus Chapter 33

    (Moses' encounter with God)

    20 And he said, Thou canst not SEE my face: for there shall no man see me, AND LIVE.

    21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

    22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

    23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

    John 4:24

    God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

    Comment: should you read through the Old Testament, you'll see that the Ark of the Covenant was treated in a very specific way. It was not open to the public.

    It is even sinful (I think) for artist's to paint paintings of what they think God looks like. Or what Jesus looks like. The Bible says that Jesus was an ordinary looking man.

    The Book of Revelation describes Jesus as victorious and ready to close the book on earth as it is now.
