Nor let it disturb anyone that we read that God was seen here also by the just men of old: for he was not seen in this our humiliation as he is to be seen in that glorification; since indeed, without the form of a visible creature—in which, according to the dispensation of the times, he appeared to the just where he willed and to whom he willed—he neither could nor can be seen; but he will be able to be seen when our pilgrimage shall have come to the heavenly homeland, and blessed immortality shall have clothed our mortal part; and when faith itself, by which these future things were here believed, having been fulfilled, shall have led all the truly faithful to the divine contemplation and the reception of the heavenly rewards.
