A Jewish tour guide described Israel’s God as the “Transparent God.” This is probably a better word than “invisible.” The idea of transparency indicates more of a presence than “invisible,” at least to me. Anyway, here is a rich scriptural description that encompasses O.T. figures such as the Divine King, The High Priest, and Israel’s prophets who said “Thus says The Lord.” Jesus in His ascension reigns in the combined office of priestly king (see Zech. 6.13 where Joshua, the same name as “Jesus,” sits on Israel’s throne though he was the high priest). The third office that Jesus fills is The Prophet who Moses promised in Dt. 18.15 (see Acts 3.22).
