Psalm 27:8 You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”

Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon indicates the Hebrew word pānîm is not singular and requires two faces, one turned to face the other. This is clearly indicated by God’s description of His relationship with Moses in Exodus 33:11 and the people could see the change in Moses’s appearance. ref. Exodus 34:35

John 1:18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

The God that sat at the Father’s side has made Himself known so that man could see Him face to face.

Numbers 6:26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

The same word is used for both face and countenance, pānîm. Once again the title Lord applies, not God, God the Father, Lord God, but simply Lord, Jehovah = “the existing One”.

The One that exists and was seen by man face to face is the Lord, Jesus Christ. The Lord ascended to the throne thousands of years ago. How can we seek Him face to face?

John 20:25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

Jesus hinted to Thomas of a future Thomas could not imagine.

John 20:29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

We are blessed to be able to seek His face, His countenance, because we seek Him with our heart just like in Psalm 27:8.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

We seek Him by faith, we see Him by faith. Like Moses we are changed because we see Him.
