This can lead us to think that maybe it was His shekinah glory. The Everyman's Bible Commentary says that He has come to man through the one who has always been at the Fathers side. This usually designates Jesus Christ. I am led to believe that who they saw was Jesus Christ. To explain Exo 24:10 - isn't Jesus and God one? How would they of known the difference between Jesus and God? |
