Continuing my earlier question about why God would send angels rather than putting in a personal appearance: in Exodus 30 God informs Moses that "Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me, and live." Putting aside that they are conversing "face to face" (the rest of the chapter makes it clear that Moses cannot literally see God's face), this confirms the face-melting suspicion, but doesn't answer why God sends a messenger rather than just turning up in a hat two sizes too large.

"If, for example, we're walking down a country road and we see an anthill, do we; go down to the ant and say, "I bring you trinkets, I bring you beads, I bring you knowledge, I bring you medicine, I bring you nuclear technology, take me to your leader"? Or, do we simply step on them?"

Or put a hat over the anthill?

or send in our own ant agents to root out any possible opposition? ants that look very much like regular ants, but there's something about them.. something not right..
