the mystery of God a man

The bible says in the book Job 13:8 "Will ye accept his person? ...". In those words it tells us firstly, it is difficult and has been for many to accept god as a man, but if we are believers of the inspired scriptures we have cross this shaky bridge. The bible further tells us in the book Gen 32:30 “And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, ...".
Note those words "face to face".

Questions: Is it wrong for us to say god is a man, if the bible has brought us to this truth? Or say because he is the indefinable we should not think or accept god is a man?

He has been unknown to many in the world Yes!, but he is not unknowable to beings.
The word say in Ps 76:1“IN Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel”.
Today god is a mystery to many. However we are living in that time when the mystery of god should be finished.
"And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest" Heb 8:11.
How will this mystery be unfolded; "... in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished ...”. Rev. 10: 7
