These are thoughts that have been percolating in my ADD-popcorn brain. I share because I am compelled. Hopefully you will be encouraged. I may also share what I think I’ve figured out in life in the hopes of saving you the struggle. I share different things in different “seasons.” Season 1 are different thoughts I wanted to share that I think are important and interesting. Season 2 is my very personal story. Season 3 has Thank You’s. Season 4 is about Israel. Season 5 will begin “God Stories” For more about me and my Social Media, visit: https://jonrachel.com/

Spiritual Musings of a Popcorn Brain
S7:E2 Beginning an Exploration of Theophanies from Genesis 3 to 19

A theophany is a fancy word for God revealing Himself in the flesh to humans. I want to go through where I see theophanies in the old testament. Please dive deeper and read it for yourselves. We will barely be scratching the surface as we look at:


Genesis 3:8

Genesis 14:18-24; Psalms 110:4; Hebrews 7:1-10

Genesis 16:7-13

Genesis 17:1

Genesis 18:1,2,12,17; 19:1


(Please pardon where I said "a theophanies" instead of "a theophany." Theophany is singular and theophanies is plural.)


This study is just for fun. Nobody's salvation will be determined by what they believe on this topic. The Bible is clear that you need to trust Jesus. He is who He said He was and is the only one capable of paying the penalty for our sins. When you accept that you cannot earn or forge your own way to heaven and accept the gift that He freely gives, then you will be saved from yourself and the direction you were headed.
