Answer:
Abraham had seen the Lord God. As in Genesis 1:26, No
one could see the Lord God without the image and likeness of Him i.e. virtue
and purity. Daniel could see the Lord God with purity and virtue. No man has
seen or can see the Lord God at any time with human nature and with eyes
pertaining to the flesh. The inner meaning in this is, man, who is living with
virtue and purity by having divine spiritual knowledge, can see the Lord every
time.
When the sons of God formed the relations with the
daughters of men and performed marriages, they lost their virtue and purity and
became ordinary men. So, the Lord God wiped away the people through the
greatest floods. So, at any time and now also, no one, being an ordinary man,
has seen or can see the Lord God with the qualities of human beings.
