Three Men meet Abranham

Mo. 11/5/12: Genesis 18:1 – 2                    What did the three Men accept?

Then the Lord appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground

What did the three Men accept? All three accepted Abraham’s worship.

Tu. 11/6/12: Genesis 18:4 – 5                      How was the reply unusual?

Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant.” They said, “Do as you have said.”

How was the reply unusual? All three said the same words.

We. 11/7/12: Genesis 18:8 – 10                  How were the two questions different?

So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate. Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” So he said, “Here, in the tent.”

And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”

How were the questions different? The 1^st was ‘they said,’ the 2^nd, ‘He said.’

Th. 11/8/12: Genesis 18:20 – 22                  What words preceded two Men leaving?

And the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord.

What words preceded two Men leaving? The words, “I will go now.”

Fr. 11/9/12: Genesis 18:32 – 33                  What conclusion can we draw?

Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.”

So the Lord went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

What conclusion can we draw? In a way that is beyond explanation, this is the Trinity, the Godhead.
