Who's He and Him?

Did Moses and some others saw God visibly?

The scripture taught us that Moses saw God face to face.

Exodus 24
9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

CONFLICT -
While in New Testament, it was clearly taught that no man, could ever saw God visibly and lived. It even directly points the time where Moses talked to him and received instructions for the people. 

John 1
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, HE hath declared HIM.

SOLVING THE PUZZLE -
Yes, Moses saw it, but John says no he didn't -

The solution is, read it carefully and understand how it says -

1. No man hath seen God at any time;
2. the only begotten Son (Christ),
3. which is in the bosom of the Father, (who was with the Father)
4. HE (which is Christ as stated)
5. hath declared HIM (Moses as the subject in verse 17).

Now read it again John 1:18, the second or third or on and on, then you'll see the answer.

Did you figure it out already? Christ was there before we knew him in the New Testament. The words that Moses received was his.
