And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, Genesis 18:1-2
This is a very interesting text, here we see Abraham says the Lord “Yahweh” appears to him. The original Hebrew in the text has YHWH translated as LORD in English. So we know that Abraham is saying God appeared to him
The next part is astonishing as God appeared to Abraham in the form of 3 men. People who say the Triunity of God was made up by the Romans or Greek mythology has never studied this text. Here we see the Triunity of God in the Torah.
This is symbolic of the Father, Son , and Holy Spirit. So we can make assumption that one of these men were Jesus Christ. Abraham has now met Jesus face to face and the text says Abraham bowed to the ground to them
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. Genesis 18:10
Why did God appear to Abraham in human form? Well first remember the seed of the Messiah was going to come from Israel by Abraham. So Abraham had divine revelation from God more than anyone at this point.
Second Jesus had a special prophetic message to deliver to Abraham. That by next year the promised Son of Isaac would be here. This is the blessing that Abraham and Sarah have been waiting for years!
Thank you for this.

I love seeing Jesus in the Old Testament. It proves that He has always been with the Father & how they work together with the Holy Spirit. What a privilege to be a part of THE FAMILY OF GOD!

It is not Jesus, in the plains of marme, those three were angles of God, moreover according to gospels books Jesus in the temple of God,once he said that he was in the times of Abraham too ( it is like a prophecy by the spirits of God upon him…. Melchizedek King of Salem{King of peace or priest of most high God}who have given Abraham bread and wine…. Even Jesus given bread and wine too…) And when poeple we’re angry at him they tried to Stone him to death but Jesus ran away but never made miracle like turning them to stones or other… So Jesus is human kind… You do really think a person who came from between the legs of women can become God?

Lord is the one who is higher than you… I mean any Noble person can be called as Lord, e.g.: king, your Prime minster can be also called as lord for you,.. if a person is ruling you , he is your lord!
