Did Abraham Meet Christ? The THREE Men in Genesis 18 Explained

Who were the three men who appeared to Abraham in Genesis 18? Genesis tells us that the LORD appeared to Abraham, yet when Abraham looked up, he saw three men standing before him. Later, two of those visitors continue toward Sodom and are identified as angels — while Abraham remains standing before the LORD. So who was this visible figure Abraham was speaking with? In this Bible study, we go directly through the Scriptures and examine whether this was an appearance of Christ before He was born to Mary — the One who reveals the Father and appears throughout the Old Testament as the Messenger of the LORD. We'll also connect this account with Christ's remarkable words: "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." — John 8:56 NKJV Was Christ speaking about something Abraham had actually witnessed?
