What does the Bible say about Christophanies?

Answered in 2 sources

A Christophany is a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ, revealing His divine presence and authority before the New Testament.

A Christophany refers to instances in the Old Testament where the pre-incarnate Christ appears in some tangible, visible form, often to affirm His role as the Logos of God. One significant example is found in Joshua 5:13-15, where Joshua encounters a man with a drawn sword who identifies himself as the captain of the Lord’s hosts. This revelation signifies Christ's authority and active presence in guiding and protecting His people even before His incarnation. Such encounters demonstrate that God has throughout history maintained a direct involvement with His covenant community, foreshadowing the fullness of His revelation through Jesus Christ, who was with God and was God (John 1:1).
