Exodus 24 - They saw GOD!

Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself. Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles ofthe sons of Israel; and they saw God, and they ate and drank. (Exodus 24:9-11)

It's absolutely astonishing that they saw God and had a meal with Him! They actually saw His feet! I guess I always skipped over this passage because I never thought that this actually happened. Wow.
