According to Daniel 7 and other such passages it is a big deal to go before the Father (Ancient of Days), even for the Son. The fuss the Israelites had to make at the foot of Sinai, and the steps that had to be taken for Moses to approach the physical location of the Father is terrifying. The nature of the Father is no different in the future. Earth and sky flees from His presence. So I think it is clear nobody can see the face of the Father. Not if they are to live afterwards. Jesus can deal with this, even now. He is the mediator. Like Moses was. Personal experience leads me to believe Jesus can be seen and touched. Paul saw his glory and scales formed on his eyes which had to be miraculously removed by prayer of Ananias but Paul survived the encounter and years later Jesus stood by his side in the night and gave him strength. I had the latter experience while not having to endure the glory of seeing him. He was as human as any. Yet he can project his presence spiritually (as the Father can) and communicate spiritually directly with the innermost mind. He is glorified and immortally alive from the dead but in his own words “when the Son of Man returns” he is still very human. I believe he was human before he became flesh, hence the term “flesh” distinguishes spirit human from flesh human, but he still has flesh now. He is not a non-flesh ghost. He is flesh with spirit empowerment. So, we can touch Jesus if we ever enter heaven where he is, but we cannot approach the Father like that nor ever will do.
