In Scripture, when God’s face—which is representative of His presence, glory, truth, and love—is revealed, it corresponds to life, renewal, and joy. Both the Old and the New Testaments discuss the longing in our hearts to see the face of God. In fact, it is considered the highest of blessings to have “the Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you …” (Num. 6:25). Ultimately, we hope to worship God in the heavenly banquet and to see His face (Rev. 22: 3-4).
