AS SHOWN BY
THE OLD TESTAMENT THEOPHANIES
And he said,
Thou canst not see my face:
for there shall no man see me, and live.
Exodus 33:20
No man hath seen God at any time;
the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father,
he hath declared him.
John 1:18
OLD TESTAMENT THEOPHANIES
But Abram said unto Sarai,
Behold, thy maid is in thy hand;
do to her as it pleaseth thee.
And when Sarai dealt hardly with her,
she fled from her face.
And the Angel of the LORD
found her by a fountain of water
in the wilderness,
by the fountain in the way to Shur.
And he said,
Hagar, Sarai’s maid,
whence camest thou?
and whither wilt thou go?
And she said,
I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
And the Angel of the LORD said unto her,
Return to thy mistress,
and submit thyself under her hands.
And the Angel of the LORD said unto her,
I will multiply thy seed exceedingly,
that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
And the Angel of the LORD said unto her,
Behold, thou art with child,
and shalt bear a son,
and shalt call his name Ishmael;
because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
And he will be a wild man;
his hand will be against every man,
and every man’s hand against him;
and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her,
Thou God seest me:
for she said,
Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi;
behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Genesis 16:6-14
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,
And said, My Lord,
if now I have found favour in thy sight,
pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched,
and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
And I will fetch a morsel of bread,
and comfort ye your hearts;
after that ye shall pass on:
for therefore are ye come to your servant.
And they said,
So do, as thou hast said.
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah,
and said,
Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal,
knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
And Abraham ran unto the herd,
and fetcht a calf tender and good,
and gave it unto a young man;
and he hasted to dress it.
And he took butter, and milk,
and the calf which he had dressed,
and set it before them;
and he stood by them under the tree,
and they did eat.
And they said unto him,
Where is Sarah thy wife?
And he said,
Behold, in the tent.
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.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old
and well stricken in age;
and it ceased to be with Sarah
after the manner of women.
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself,
saying,
After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure,
my lord being old also?
And the LORD said unto Abraham,
Wherefore did Sarah laugh,
saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child,
which am old?
Is any thing too hard for the LORD?
At the time appointed I will return unto thee,
according to the time of life,
and Sarah shall have a son.
Then Sarah denied,
saying,
I laughed not;
for she was afraid.
And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
And the men rose up from thence,
and looked toward Sodom:
and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
And the LORD said,
Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become
a great and mighty nation,
and all the nations of the earth
shall be blessed in him?
For I know him,
that he will command his children
and his household after him,
and they shall keep the way of the LORD,
to do justice and judgment;
that the LORD may bring upon Abraham
that which he hath spoken of him.
And the LORD said,
Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great,
and because their sin is very grievous;
I will go down now,
and see whether they have done
altogether according to the cry of it,
which is come unto me;
and if not, I will know.
And the men turned their faces from thence,
and went toward Sodom:
but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
And Abraham drew near,
and said,
Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city:
wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place
for the fifty righteous that are therein?
That be far from thee to do after this manner,
to slay the righteous with the wicked:
and that the righteous should be as the wicked,
that be far from thee:
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
And the LORD said,
If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city,
then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
And Abraham answered and said,
Behold now,
I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord,
which am but dust and ashes:
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous:
wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five?
And he said,
If I find there forty and five,
I will not destroy it.
And he spake unto him yet again,
and said,
Peradventure there shall be forty found there.
And he said,
I will not do it for forty’s sake.
And he said unto him,
Oh let not the Lord be angry,
and I will speak:
Peradventure there shall thirty be found there.
And he said,
I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
And he said,
Behold now,
I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord:
Peradventure there shall be twenty found there.
And he said,
I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
And he said,
Oh let not the Lord be angry,
and I will speak yet but this once:
Peradventure ten shall be found there.
And he said,
I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
And the LORD went his way,
as soon as he had left communing with Abraham:
and Abraham returned unto his place.
Genesis 18:1-33
And there was a famine in the land,
beside the first famine
that was in the days of Abraham.
And Isaac went unto Abimelech
king of the Philistines
unto Gerar.
And the LORD appeared unto him,
and said,
Go not down into Egypt;
dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
Sojourn in this land,
and I will be with thee,
and will bless thee;
for unto thee,
and unto thy seed,
I will give all these countries,
and I will perform the oath
which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
And I will make thy seed
to multiply as the stars of heaven,
and will give unto thy seed
all these countries;
and in thy seed
shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice,
and kept my charge,
my commandments,
my statutes,
and my laws.
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
Genesis 26:1-6
And he removed from thence,
and digged another well;
and for that they strove not:
and he called the name of it Rehoboth;
and he said,
For now the LORD hath made room for us,
and we shall be fruitful in the land.
And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
And the LORD appeared unto him
the same night,
and said,
I am the God of Abraham thy father:
fear not, for I am with thee,
and will bless thee,
and multiply thy seed
for my servant Abraham’s sake.
And he builded an altar there,
and called upon the name of the LORD,
and pitched his tent there:
and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
Genesis 26:22-25
And Jacob went out from Beersheba,
and went toward Haran.
And he lighted upon a certain place,
and tarried there all night,
because the sun was set;
and he took of the stones of that place,
and put them for his pillows,
and lay down in that place to sleep.
And he dreamed,
and behold a ladder set up on the earth,
and the top of it reached to heaven:
and behold the angels of God
ascending and descending on it.
And, behold,
the LORD stood above it,
and said,
I am the LORD
God of Abraham thy father,
and the God of Isaac:
the land whereon thou liest,
to thee will I give it,
and to thy seed;
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth,
and thou shalt spread abroad to the west,
and to the east,
and to the north,
and to the south:
and in thee and in thy seed
shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
And, behold, I am with thee,
and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest,
and will bring thee again into this land;
for I will not leave thee,
until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep,
and he said,
Surely the LORD is in this place;
and I knew it not.
And he was afraid,
and said,
How dreadful is this place!
this is none other but the house of God,
and this is the gate of heaven.
Genesis 28:10-17
And he rose up that night,
and took his two wives,
and his two womenservants,
and his eleven sons,
and passed over the ford Jabbok.
And he took them,
and sent them over the brook,
and sent over that he had.
And Jacob was left alone;
and there wrestled a man with him
until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw
that he prevailed not against him,
he touched the hollow of his thigh;
and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh
was out of joint,
as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go,
for the day breaketh.
And he said,
I will not let thee go,
except thou bless me.
And he said unto him,
What is thy name?
And he said, Jacob.
And he said,
Thy name shall be called no more Jacob,
but Israel:
for as a prince hast thou power
with God and with men,
and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked him,
and said,
Tell me, I pray thee, thy name.
And he said,
Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name?
And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel:
for I have seen God face to face,
and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel
the sun rose upon him,
and he halted upon his thigh.
Therefore the children of Israel
eat not of the sinew which shrank,
which is upon the hollow of the thigh,
unto this day:
because
he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh
in the sinew that shrank.
Genesis 32:22-32
And God appeared unto Jacob again,
when he came out of Padanaram,
and blessed him.
And God said unto him,
Thy name is Jacob:
thy name shall not be called any more Jacob,
but Israel shall be thy name:
and he called his name Israel.
And God said unto him,
I am God Almighty:
be fruitful and multiply;
a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee,
and kings shall come out of thy loins;
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac,
to thee I will give it,
and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
And God went up from him
in the place where he talked with him.
And Jacob set up a pillar
in the place where he talked with him,
even a pillar of stone:
and he poured a drink offering thereon,
and he poured oil thereon.
And Jacob called the name
of the place where God spake
with him,
Bethel.
Genesis 35:9-15
Now Moses kept the flock
of Jethro his father in law,
the priest of Midian:
and he led the flock
to the backside of the desert,
and came to the mountain of God,
even to Horeb.
And the Angel of the LORD
appeared unto him
in a flame of fire
out of the midst of a bush:
and he looked,
and, behold, the bush burned with fire,
and the bush was not consumed.
And Moses said,
I will now turn aside,
and see this great sight,
why the bush is not burnt.
And when the LORD saw
that he turned aside to see,
God called unto him
out of the midst of the bush,
and said,
Moses, Moses.
And he said,
Here am I.
And he said,
Draw not nigh hither:
put off thy shoes from off thy feet,
for the place whereon thou standest
is holy ground.
Moreover he said,
I am the God of thy father,
the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob.
And Moses hid his face;
for he was afraid to look upon God.
And the LORD said,
I have surely seen the affliction of my people
which are in Egypt,
and have heard their cry
by reason of their taskmasters;
for I know their sorrows;
And I am come down to deliver them
out of the hand of the Egyptians,
and to bring them up
out of that land unto a good land and a large,
unto a land flowing with milk and honey;
unto the place of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites,
and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites.
Now therefore,
behold, the cry of the children of Israel
is come unto me:
and I have also seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
Come now therefore,
and I will send thee unto Pharaoh,
that thou mayest bring forth my people
the children of Israel out of Egypt.
And Moses said unto God,
Who am I,
that I should go unto Pharaoh,
and that I should bring forth
the children of Israel out of Egypt?
And he said,
Certainly I will be with thee;
and this shall be a token unto thee,
that I have sent thee:
When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt,
ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
And Moses said unto God,
Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel,
and shall say unto them,
The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you;
and they shall say to me,
What is his name?
what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses,
I AM THAT I AM:
and he said,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
I AM hath sent me unto you.
And God said moreover unto Moses,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
The LORD God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob,
hath sent me unto you:
this is my name for ever,
and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Go, and gather the elders of Israel together,
and say unto them,
The LORD God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham,
of Isaac,
and of Jacob,
appeared unto me, saying,
I have surely visited you,
and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
Exodus 3:1-16
Behold, I send an angel before thee,
to keep thee in the way,
and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him,
and obey his voice,
provoke him not;
for he will not pardon your transgressions:
for my name is in him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice,
and do all that I speak;
then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies,
and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine shall go before thee,
and bring thee in unto the Amorites,
and the Hittites,
and the Perizzites,
and the Canaanites,
the Hivites,
and the Jebusites:
and I will cut them off.
Exodus 23:20-23
Then went up Moses,
and Aaron,
Nadab,
and Abihu,
and seventy of the elders of Israel:
And they saw the God of Israel:
and there was under his feet
as it were
a paved work of a sapphire stone,
and as it were
the body of heaven in his clearness.
And upon the nobles of the children of Israel
he laid not his hand:
also they saw God,
and did eat and drink.
Exodus 24:9-11
And it came to pass,
when Moses went out unto the tabernacle,
that all the people rose up,
and stood every man at his tent door,
and looked after Moses,
until he was gone into the tabernacle.
And it came to pass,
as Moses entered into the tabernacle,
the cloudy pillar descended,
and stood at the door of the tabernacle,
and the LORD talked with Moses.
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar
stand at the tabernacle door:
and all the people rose up and worshipped,
every man in his tent door.
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face,
as a man speaketh unto his friend.
And he turned again into the camp:
but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun,
a young man,
departed not out of the tabernacle.
Exodus 33:8-11
And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first;
and Moses rose up early in the morning,
and went up unto mount Sinai,
as the LORD had commanded him,
and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
And the LORD descended in the cloud,
and stood with him there,
and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
And the LORD passed by before him,
and proclaimed,
The LORD, The LORD God,
merciful and gracious,
longsuffering,
and abundant in goodness and truth,
Keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
and that will by no means clear the guilty;
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children,
and upon the children’s children,
unto the third and to the fourth generation.
And Moses made haste,
and bowed his head toward the earth,
and worshipped.
And he said,
If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord,
let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us;
for it is a stiffnecked people;
and pardon our iniquity and our sin,
and take us for thine inheritance.
Exodus 34:4-9
And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud,
and stood in the door of the tabernacle,
and called Aaron and Miriam:
and they both came forth.
And he said,
Hear now my words:
If there be a prophet among you,
I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision,
and will speak unto him in a dream.
My servant Moses is not so,
who is faithful in all mine house.
With him will I speak mouth to mouth,
even apparently,
and not in dark speeches;
and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:
wherefore then were ye not afraid
to speak against my servant Moses?
And the anger of the LORD
was kindled against them;
and he departed.
And the cloud departed
from off the tabernacle;
and, behold,
Miriam became leprous,
white as snow:
and Aaron looked upon Miriam,
and, behold,
she was leprous.
Numbers 12:5-10
And it came to pass,
when Joshua was by Jericho,
that he lifted up his eyes and looked,
and, behold,
there stood a man over against him
with his sword drawn in his hand:
and Joshua went unto him,
and said unto him,
Art thou for us,
or for our adversaries?
And he said,
Nay;
but as captain of the host of the LORD
am I now come.
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth,
and did worship,
and said unto him,
What saith my lord unto his servant?
And the captain of the LORD’S host
said unto Joshua,
Loose thy shoe from off thy foot;
for the place whereon thou standest is holy.
And Joshua did so.
Joshua 5:13-15
And an Angel of the LORD
came up from Gilgal to Bochim,
and said,
made you to go up out of Egypt,
and have brought you unto the land
which I sware unto your fathers;
and I said,
I will never break my covenant with you.
And ye shall make no league
with the inhabitants of this land;
ye shall throw down their altars:
but ye have not obeyed my voice:
why have ye done this?
Wherefore I also said,
I will not drive them out from before you;
but they shall be as thorns in your sides,
and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
And it came to pass,
when the Angel of the LORD
spake these words
unto all the children of Israel,
that the people lifted up their voice,
and wept.
And they called the name of that place Bochim:
and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
Judges 2:1-5
And there came an Angel of the LORD,
and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah,
that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite:
and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress,
to hide it from the Midianites.
And the Angel of the LORD
appeared unto him,
and said
unto him,
The LORD is with thee,
thou mighty man of valour.
And Gideon said unto him,
Oh my Lord,
if the LORD be with us,
why then is all this befallen us?
and where be all his miracles
which our fathers told us of,
saying,
Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?
but now the LORD hath forsaken us,
and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
And the LORD looked upon him,
and said,
Go in this thy might,
and thou shalt save Israel
from the hand of the Midianites:
have not I sent thee?
And he said unto him,
Oh my Lord,
wherewith shall I save Israel?
behold, my family is poor in Manasseh,
and I am the least in my father’s house.
And the LORD said unto him,
Surely I will be with thee,
and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
And he said unto him,
If now I have found grace in thy sight,
then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.
Depart not hence, I pray thee,
until I come unto thee,
and bring forth my present,
and set it before thee.
And he said,
I will tarry until thou come again.
And Gideon went in,
and made ready a kid,
and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour:
the flesh he put in a basket,
and he put the broth in a pot,
and brought it out unto him under the oak,
and presented it.
And the Angel of God said unto him,
Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes,
and lay them upon this rock,
and pour out the broth.
And he did so.
Then the Angel of the LORD
put forth the end of the staff
that was in his hand,
and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes;
and there rose up fire out of the rock,
and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes.
Then the Angel of the LORD
departed out of his sight.
And when Gideon perceived
that he was an Angel of the LORD,
Gideon said,
Alas, O Lord GOD!
for because I have seen an Angel of the LORD
face to face.
And the LORD said unto him,
Peace be unto thee;
fear not:
thou shalt not die.
Then Gideon built an altar there
unto the LORD,
and called it Jehovahshalom:
unto this day it is yet in Ophrah
of the Abiezrites.
Judges 6:11-24
And there was a certain man of Zorah,
of the family of the Danites,
whose name was Manoah;
and his wife was barren,
and bare not.
And the Angel of the LORD
appeared unto the woman,
and said unto her,
Behold now,
thou art barren,
and bearest not:
but thou shalt conceive,
and bear a son.
Now therefore beware,
I pray thee,
and drink not wine nor strong drink,
and eat not any unclean thing:
For, lo, thou shalt conceive,
and bear a son;
and no razor shall come on his head:
for the child shall be a Nazarite
unto God from the womb:
and he shall begin to deliver Israel
out of the hand of the Philistines.
Then the woman came and told her husband,
saying,
A man of God came unto me,
and his countenance was like
the countenance of an Angel of God,
very terrible:
but I asked him not whence he was,
neither told he me his name:
But he said unto me,
Behold, thou shalt conceive,
and bear a son;
and now drink no wine nor strong drink,
neither eat any unclean thing:
for the child shall be a Nazarite to God
from the womb to the day of his death.
Then Manoah intreated the LORD,
and said,
O my Lord, let the man of God
which thou didst send
come again unto us,
and teach us what we shall do
unto the child that shall be born.
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah;
and the Angel of God
came again unto the woman
as she sat in the field:
but Manoah her husband was not with her.
And the woman made haste,
and ran,
and shewed her husband,
and said unto him,
Behold, the man hath appeared unto me,
that came unto me the other day.
And Manoah arose,
and went after his wife,
and came to the man,
and said unto him,
Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman?
And he said,
I am.
And Manoah said,
Now let thy words come to pass.
How shall we order the child,
and how shall we do unto him?
And the Angel of the LORD said unto Manoah,
Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine,
neither let her drink wine or strong drink,
nor eat any unclean thing:
all that I commanded her let her observe.
And Manoah said unto the Angel of the LORD,
I pray thee, let us detain thee,
until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
And the Angel of the LORD said unto Manoah,
Though thou detain me,
I will not eat of thy bread:
and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering,
thou must offer it unto the LORD.
For Manoah knew not
that he was an Angel of the LORD.
And Manoah said unto the Angel of the LORD,
What is thy name,
that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
And the Angel of the LORD said unto him,
Why askest thou thus after my name,
seeing it is secret?
So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering,
and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD:
and the angel did wondrously;
and Manoah and his wife looked on.
For it came to pass,
when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar,
that the Angel of the LORD
ascended in the flame of the altar.
And Manoah and his wife looked on it,
and fell on their faces to the ground.
But the Angel of the LORD d
id no more appear to Manoah and to his wife.
Then Manoah knew that he was an Angel of the LORD.
And Manoah said unto his wife,
We shall surely die,
because we have seen God.
But his wife said unto him,
If the LORD were pleased to kill us,
he would not have received a burnt offering
and a meat offering at our hands,
neither would he have shewed us all these things,
nor would as at this time have
told us such things as these.
And the woman bare a son,
and called his name Samson:
and the child grew,
and the LORD blessed him.
And the Spirit of the LORD
began to move him at times in the camp of Dan
between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Judges 13:2-25
In the year that king Uzziah died
I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up,
and his train filled the temple.
Above it stood the seraphims:
each one had six wings;
with twain he covered his face,
and with twain he covered his feet,
and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto another,
and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts:
the whole earth is full of his glory.
And the posts of the door
moved at the voice of him that cried,
and the house was filled with smoke.
Then said I,
Woe is me!
for I am undone;
because I am a man of unclean lips,
and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:
for mine eyes have seen the King,
the LORD of hosts.
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me,
having a live coal in his hand,
which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
And he laid it upon my mouth,
and said,
Lo, this hath touched thy lips;
and thine iniquity is taken away,
and thy sin purged.
Isaiah 6:1-7
And above the firmament
that was over their heads
was the likeness of a throne,
as the appearance of a sapphire stone:
and upon the likeness of the throne
was the likeness as the appearance of a man
above upon it.
And I saw as the colour of amber,
as the appearance of fire round about within it,
from the appearance of his loins even upward,
and from the appearance of his loins even downward,
I saw as it were the appearance of fire,
and it had brightness round about.
As the appearance of the bow
that is in the cloud in the day of rain,
so was the appearance of the brightness round about.
This was the appearance
of the likeness of the glory of the LORD.
And when I saw it,
I fell upon my face,
and I heard a voice of one that spake.
Ezekiel 1:26-28
And it came to pass in the sixth year,
in the sixth month,
in the fifth day of the month,
as I sat in mine house,
and the elders of Judah sat before me,
that the hand of the Lord GOD
fell there upon me.
Then I beheld,
and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire:
from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire;
and from his loins even upward,
as the appearance of brightness,
as the colour of amber.
And he put forth the form of an hand,
and took me by a lock of mine head;
and the spirit lifted me up
between the earth and the heaven,
and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem,
to the door of the inner gate
that looketh toward the north;
where was the seat of the image of jealousy,
which provoketh to jealousy.
And, behold,
the glory of the God of Israel was there,
according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
Ezekiel 8:1-4
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied,
and rose up in haste,
and spake,
and said unto his counsellors,
Did not we cast three men bound
into the midst of the fire?
They answered and said unto the king,
True, O king.
He answered and said,
Lo, I see four men loose,
walking in the midst of the fire,
and they have no hurt;
and the form of the fourth
is like the Son of God.
Daniel 3:24-25
I saw in the night visions,
and, behold,
one like the Son of man
came with the clouds of heaven,
and came to the Ancient of days,
and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion,
and glory,
and a kingdom,
that all people, nations, and languages,
should serve him:
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:13-14
Then shall the LORD go forth,
and fight against those nations,
as when he fought in the day of battle.
And his feet shall stand in that day
upon the mount of Olives,
which is before Jerusalem on the east,
and the mount of Olives
shall cleave in the midst thereof
toward the east
and toward the west,
and there shall be a very great valley;
and half of the mountain
shall remove toward the north,
and half of it toward the south.
Zechariah 14:3-4
