Can you elaborate a little?
“And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden” Genesis 3:8.

You cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” And the LORD said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”

Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”
Gen 32:24-30
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man [Enowsh]with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. (KJV)
Peniel: Hebrew word #6439 Penuw'el or (more properly,) Peniy'el- Penuel or Peniel = "facing God."​
So Adam Eve, and Jacob saw God, how is this possible?

I skim through it, and I would agree. I will read it in its entirety later.

But I see Jesus all over the OT.

There are many variables to why Adam and Eve saw God, yet God said no man can see His face and live.

However many people saw His face, because if you have seen Christ you have seen God. But this statement by Christ is actually the answer to the supposed question.

Adam and Eve saw his face before the fall.

so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:7

Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. Luke 20:34

There isn't marriage in every age though.

Mat 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

After the resurrection of the dead, there will not be marriage. Not even two people that had been married will still be married.

Jesus is clear, marriage is for this age. If GOD did not create marriage, would sex still be a sin? If GOD had not said, thou shall not steal, would stealing still be a sin?

to "neither marry nor be given in marriage" means there will be no cleaving to nor getting cleaved to. You won't have any access to cleavage then the same as you don't have access to any angel cleavage now.

There will be males and females. Females have "cleavage"

Jesus is clear, marriage is for this age.
And only this age.

If GOD did not create marriage, would sex still be a sin? If GOD had not said, thou shall not steal, would stealing still be a sin?
It would depend on whatever law might exist.

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

No marriage, no sex, no reproduction.
God doesn't have grandchildren.

No marriage, no sex, no reproduction.
God doesn't have grandchildren.
and yet in Genesis 6 angels had sex with human women.
