The Vision of God, is that clear, distinct and perfect sight of God in Christ, according to what he hath revealed of himself conducing to his glory, and our good; whereby we are enlightened by him, made like unto him, satisfied in him, and blessed with him. We shall be enlightened by him; For with thee is the fountain of Life, and in thy light, we shall see light, Psal. 36.9. We shall be like unto him; But we know, that when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is, 1 Joh. 3.2. We shall be satisfied with him; As for me I shall behold his face in Righteousness, I shall be satisfied when I awake (to wit, at the Resurrection) with thy likeness, Psal. 17.15. We shall be blessed with him; Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God, Matth. 5.9.
