THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS MAY SURPRISE YOU.
READ ON FOR NEW KNOWLEDGE. 

Exo 24:9  Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

Exo 24:10  and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity.

Exo 24:11  But on the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand. So they saw God, and they ate and drank.

In the above scripture the God of Israel spoken of is Hebrew 430 {Strong’s Concordance} which means Elohym. This is God the word. This is also confirmed because the elders saw Him and ate and drank with Him.

We understand that you cannot look on God the Father {Hebrew 3068} and live.

In Exodus 24 v 12 the God who called Moses up to the top of the mountain and gave him the Ten Commandments is Johovah {H3068}. The Hebrew 3068 can only refer to God the Father it cannot refer to Christ.
Please refer to our article at this site entitled "God the Father Revealed" for a full explanation of this knowledge.
 

Exo 24:12  Then the LORD said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them."

You will notice if you look up the concordance that there are two different names used for two different Gods.

The God who spoke to the elders was H 430 Elohym {God the Word}.

This word is used for God the Word, and in some scriptures The Father, and can be used for either the Word or the Father or at times it can be used to mean both.

Notice that God the word gave to Moses the lively oracles, the Father gave the Ten Commandments, but Christ gave the lively oracles.

Act 7:38  "This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles to give to us,

The God who called Moses up to the top of the mountain and gave the Ten Commandments to him was H 3068, Jehovah, God the Father.

This word 3068 can only be used for the Father.

The God who gave the Commandments cannot be looked upon.

Exo 33:17  So the LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name."

Exo 33:18  And he said, "Please, show me Your glory."

Exo 33:19  Then He said, "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."

Exo 33:20  But He said, "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live."

The God in Verse 17 is H3068 which is Jehovah.

The God who spoke to Moses face to face is also H3068.

Exo 33:11  So the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.

Now you are probably wondering how this is possible, God the Father says you can’t look on Me and live, and yet Moses spoke to Him face to face, the following scriptures explain quite clearly how this happened.

God the Father appears in a cloud.

Exo 33:9  And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.

Psa 99:6  Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called upon His name; They called upon the LORD, and He answered them.

Psa 99:7  He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them.

Deu 5:4  The LORD talked with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire.

We also know that in some instances God the Father appears invisible.

1Ti 1:17  Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

He also appears in a vision.

Gen 15:1  After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

The Father also appears in a whirlwind.

Job 38:1  Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

The Father appears in a fire.

Deu 5:4  The LORD talked with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire.

The Father also appears in a dream.

1Ki 3:5  At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask! What shall I give you?"

It is amazingly clear that Johovah spoken of in the above scriptures is God the Father.

Strong’s Concordance has the following meaning for Lord, H3068 Yehovah - self existent, Eternal, Jewish national name of God.

H3068 is the number for Lord and is God the Father only. 

To understand about the Father and Christ we have to unlock the key to understanding.

Joh 8:19  Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."

To understand the truth of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, we have to know who they are.  The Father is the One True God.  He is the only one who has always existed. 
Jesus Christ is the born Son of God before creation.
When this new knowledge is believed and accepted, then and only then, will the reader begin to know the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.

Eph 1:17  that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

All things are done through Christ, God the Father gives the knowledge of Him to us through Christ.

It is up to us.  Will we believe God?  Will we accept this new knowledge about Him?

There were two Gods on the mountain.  Now we know who they were.
