Theophanies Interlude

[Sample: Dr. Michael L. Brown]
Let me just summarize a few things for you / summary of the evidence of the Tanakh / the Hebrew Bible states that no one can see God and yet at times it says that people saw Him / so who is it they saw? / the Hebrew Bible speaks of God occasionally manifesting Himself on the earth / apparently in human form // yet as God He sits enthroned in the highest heavens / how can both of these things be true? / the Hebrew Bible makes reference to God's Word as a concrete entity / worthy of praise / sent on divine missions / the Psalmist sometimes would say -- speak of God / whose Word I praise / this Word is active in the world / what is meant by this Word? / then we see revelation of the divine nature of the Son / the Theophanies / God revealing Himself / appearing in the Tanakh / who is it that they saw? / the Son who's the manifest of the Father's brightness / and in Isaiah 9:6 and Isaiah 45:7 / where respectively the Messianic King is called El Gibbor (Mighty God) / Elohim (God) //
