Enduring as Seeing the Invisible God – Hebrews 11:27

That which preserved Moses in this frame was, that “he saw him who is invisible.” Moses was in that state and condition, and had those things to do, wherein he stood in need continually of divine power and assistance. Whence this should proceed, he could not discern by his senses. His bodily eyes could behold no present assistant; for God is invisible. And it requires an especial act of the mind in expecting help from him who cannot be seen. Wherefore this is here ascribed to him. “He saw him who is” in himself “invisible;” that is, he saw him by faith whom he could not see with his eyes. “As seeing,” is not, ‘as if he saw him,’ but seeing of him really and indeed; only in such a way and by such means as left him still in himself invisible, but represented him a present help no less than if he had been seen. – John Owen
