This is a study on Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. His name was not Jesus then, and He was not in mortal flesh then; yet, He existed before the Garden of Eden (Micah 5:2), before Abraham (John 8:58), and before He was born in the flesh in Bethlehem to Mary.
He showed Himself to certain people during several instances throughout the Old Testament in visions, and not in visions. We will look at some of those instances from Abraham to Daniel.
Instance #1 - To Abram
The LORD appeared to Abram promising the future birth of Abraham’s son, Isaac. Read Genesis 17: 1-22
Instance #2 - To Abraham
The LORD visited Abraham and Sarah again, promising they would have a son. The LORD was accompanied by two angels who went off to Sodom. Read Genesis 18
Instance #3 - To Jacob
Jacob wrestles with Him. Read Genesis 32: 22-30
Instance #4 - To Moses
At the burning bush - Read Exodus 3:1-6, and Exodus 3:12-14 (also read Joshua 5:13-15)
Instance #5 - To Moses, and others with Moses
The LORD told Moses to bring Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, plus seventy others along to confirm the Covenant. He showed Himself to them. Read Exodus 24:1-11
Instance #6 - To Moses who wanted to see the LORD’s face clearly
But the LORD said, “You cannot see My face, for no one may see Me and live.” The LORD let him see His back, though. Read Exodus 33:17-23
Instance # 7 - To Joshua as the "Commander of the army of the LORD"
The Man that Joshua saw said, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” Read Joshua 5:13-15 (also read Exodus 3:1-6)
Instance #8 - As “The Angel of the LORD” to Gideon
Read Judges 6: 11-23
Instance #9 - As “The Angel of the LORD” to Samson’s parents
