The ultimate personal experience in devotion to the Lord is face to face.
Hebrew: pahneem pahneem; Greek: prosopon pros prosopon.
Numbers 12. When there is a prophet I reveal Myself to in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses.
He is faithful in all My house,
I speak with him face to face, plainly and not in riddles.
Faithful to The House of God
Hebrews 3:5, 6. And Moses indeed
was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken
, but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
Come Before His Face,=Come Into His Presence
Hebrews 4. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Growing In Grace From The Glory
1 Corinthians 13:12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but
then face to face: now I know in part; but then I shall know even as also I am known.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed (metamorpho=transfigured) into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
A Friend of God
Exodus 33:11. So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face,
as a man speaks to his friend.
John 15. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you
