Now he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram. Genesis 14:24 “I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share.” Mamre Near Hebron ANOTHER APPEARANCE OF THE LORD Now the LORD (Jehovah = Yahweh; Lxx = theos) appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent (ohel; Lxx = skene) door in the heat of the day - The word for “appeared” is ra’ah which means “to view with one’s own eyes”. Immediately the LORD appeared tells us that one of the three men in the next verse is JEHOVAH in human form, a pre-incarnate manifestation of Christ. "It appears that in Old Testament times God came in the form of a man, while in the incarnation He actually became man." (J Oswald Sanders) While God is recorded as have spoken to Abraham several times, only 5 times do we see that He specifically appeared to Him. Did God appear to him in those other times when He spoke to him? Possibly, but we cannot be dogmatic. And so here are the definite appearances recorded. (1) The God of glory appeared to Abraham "when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran" and told him to depart to land God would show him. (Acts 7:2+). (2) In Ge 12:7+ the LORD "appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” (3) The LORD came to Abram in a vision (Ge 15:1+) (4) Ge 17:1+ LORD appeared as El Shaddai (5) The LORD would appear to Abraham one more time in Ge 18:1+ at the oaks of Mamre. The heat of the day would be in the early afternoon. The Lord visits Abraham to confirm the promise recorded in Genesis 17:19 to give Abraham and Sarah a child and pronounce its swift fulfillment. TSK - In these verses we have a delightful picture of genuine and primitive hospitality: a venerable father sits at the tent door, not only to enjoy the current of refreshing air, but that if he saw any weary and exhausted travellers, he might invite them to rest and refresh themselves during the heat of the day, and the same custom still continues in the east. It was not the custom, nor was there any necessity, for strangers to knock at the door, or to speak first, but to stand till they were invited. THOUGHT - On the heat of the day - We should be ready for Jesus to appear right during the hottest part of the day which is exactly when Abraham was ready! What will be the hottest part of your day or week? Will you be ready? Of course we will not see what Abraham saw, but through His Word, His Spirit, prayer, He may suddenly appear. Be ready to respond like Abraham! Jon Courson - The heat of the day in Scripture is often a picture of the hard times that come our way. So often in my walk, I’ve seen the Lord in a fresh way in the heat of the day, in fiery trials. You have, too. This is not surprising. After all, it was when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were cast into a fiery furnace that they saw the Lord (Daniel 3:25). Consequently, when I hear of people in the body who are going through fiery trials and hot times, on one hand my heart goes out to them, but on the other hand, in a sense, I’m envious of them because I know the Lord will make Himself known to them in a special way in the heat of the day.
