The only visual He has ever given us is the man of Jesus, the Son in human flesh, because there had to be a perfect blameless physical sacrifice.
When we deceive ourselves into "needing" something physical to bow down to, to worship, that 1. restricts us to only worshipping when we are near that physical item. 2. not only worshipping the omnipresent being of God, but belittling Him into an object that is ridiculously confining to a being who can't live in anything manmade. 3. giving us a false sense of hope and control.
This is why we have the cross.
When we bow down at the base of this manmade item, it reminds of the man who hung on it and spilled His divine yet human blood to cover our sins, and extend the free gift of grace to us for eternity.
