What does it mean we will see God “Eye to eye you will see God” in the messianic era?

 

Isn’t it one of the principles of Judaism that God has no form and if he has no form how can he be seen?

 

But just because God has no form doesn’t mean God cannot be seen.

 

For there are many forms of seeing.

 

The notion of seeing in contrast to hearing, indicates that your certainty of the existence of what you see, is absolute.

 

Which is why in Jewish law, a witness who saw a crime, though he may be the greatest judge – and who better to judge the case than someone who witnessed it – may not! – for sight lends off a “corroboration” of such intensity, that convinced as we are by the crime, we are incapable of any mitigating circumstances – imagine God forbid you saw someone stab someone else – your disgust horror and repulsion, would render your impervious to any logical mitigating argument (yet when someone hears about a crime, as it hasn’t penetrated to the depth of their soul, they are still capable of sensing a mitigating factor.)

 

All in all, sight is a level of corroboration which unlike something you merely think or hear about, its certainty is such, that even if the entire world tells you, “you couldn’t have seen it”, because you know, or saw it! you would believe your inner truth!
