What does EGW write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Will the redeemed see God on the new earth?"
Answer
On the new earth the redeemed will have the privilege of standing before God the Father and the Son personally and without a concealing veil. While today we can perceive God's glory only like in a mirror or through nature, there we will see Him "face to face" and stand in His immediate presence. This open fellowship with God is the fulfillment of the promise to the pure in heart and is made possible by the absence of sin.
Seeing God Face to Face
God's people are privileged to have open fellowship with the Father and the Son. Now we see ‘through a mirror in a dim picture.’ We see the image of God reflected, as in a mirror, in the works of nature and in His dealings with people; but then we will see Him face to face, without a clouding veil between. We will stand in His presence and behold the glory of His face.
The End of the Veiling
For the first time since creation God can be seen face to face. ... While we are on earth we pray: ‘Let your face shine, that we may be saved.’ Then the full light of His face will be open to the human eye, ‘and his name will be on their foreheads.’
Fulfillment of the Promise for the Pure
The word ‘be’ in the sentence ‘And they will see His face’ refers to the Father; for it is His name that will be on their foreheads... This will be a fulfillment of the promise: ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’
Personal Encounter with Christ and the Beloved
Jesus in all His glory, with His entire redeemed Israel... will then be in the New Jerusalem on the new earth, never to depart. Then we will see Him face to face and be with Him. ... If we are the children of God, we will see them there; we will see our believing parents, brothers, sisters and children there and have eternal life.
The Unclouded Glory of Jehovah
In the city the saints meet Jehovah face to face. Even God veiled His glory during the reign of sin... In the New Jerusalem there is no veil, no temple; but God and Christ are the light of it. The veiling of Jehovah's glory is also represented by the sun and moon in our own heavens.
