The first in time means nothing, but the First in eternity is God the Father, Who is both First and One. Beyond the First there is no other, for there is no order, no second or third, and nothing but the First. (T-14.IV.1:7-8)
He is first in the sense that He is the First in the Holy Trinity Itself. He is the Prime Creator, because He created His co-creators. Because He did, time applies neither to Him nor to what He created. (T-7.I.7:5-7)
God is All in all in a very literal sense. All being is in Him Who is all Being. (T-7.IV.7:4-5)
“Understand well that when I come to abide with you, I come with a humility born of the recognition of the Great Mystery that has given you your existence. And that Mystery I have called Abba, Father. You have come forth from Pure Intelligence. You have come forth from Pure Love. You have come forth from a Source beyond all comprehension. You have come forth from the Radiance of a Light so bright that the world cannot see it nor contain it. You have come forth from That which, alone, is eternally real. And because you have come forth from It, you are One with It, always. This means that you abide in a relationship — created to Creator, offspring or child to parent — that is so intimate, a bond so deep, that it cannot be broken at any time. As a wave that arises from an ocean cannot be separated from the ocean itself, so too, in each and every moment in your experience, do you abide in a union so powerful, so mysterious, so intimate and immediate that the mind cannot comprehend it. This union, then, connects you, as the created, with the Mystery beyond comprehension that contains every drop of wisdom and intelligence necessary to create consciousness itself. And consciousness, awareness, the power to be aware, the power to choose — this is what you truly are. And if this Source, this Mystery, can birth this most fundamental aspect of Creation, does it not deserve to be called Abba or Father, That which creates like unto Itself? Begin to feel, to know, that if you are aware, in this moment, it is because you are One with the Source of all Creation and cannot be separated from It in any way or at any time.” - Way of Mastery, Lesson 8

The Face of God
"Face of God" Divine countenance
In Judaism and Christianity, the concept is the manifestation of God rather than a remote immanence or delegation of an angel, even though a mortal would not be able to gaze directly upon him.[4] In Jewish mysticism, it is traditionally believed that even the angels who attend him cannot endure seeing the divine countenance directly.
“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." - Numbers 6:24
The name of the city of Peniel literally means the "face of God" in Hebrew. The place was named by Jacob after his wrestling match there which is recounted in Genesis. His opponent seemed divine and so Jacob claimed to have looked upon the face of God.
Ancient of Days
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. — Daniel 7:9
the Ancient of Ancients, and the Holy Ancient One
