I think it might have something to do with the issue of angels who
did see and know God directly and yet who rebelled and left their estate
[fallen and banished to darkness]
and now we a lesser creation have been given opportunity to achieve
immortality and to enter the presence of God without seeing him or Heaven
directly but achieving this only through faith in the gospel.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and
the stars, which thou has ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visit him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned
him with glory and honour.
Psalm 8:
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repents.
Luke 15:
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us
they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them
that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down
from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
1Peter 1:
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be
partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated
us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 1:
