Who were the three mysterious visitors that appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre in Genesis 18? Was it truly a revelation of the Holy Trinity? Why does Abraham speak to them both in singular and plural? And why do two go to Sodom while one remains behind?
In this Orthodox Bible Study, we dive deep into the theological, historical, and patristic interpretations of Genesis 18. Was this a Theophany—a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ—with two angels? Or does this scene hint at something even greater?
Join Orthodox TV as we explore:
• The identity of the three guests
• Abraham’s prostration—worship or hospitality?
• Singular vs. plural language—proof of the Trinity?
• The iconography of Rublev’s “The Hospitality of Abraham”
• What the Church Fathers really taught
Uncover the mystery of divine revelation and how this passage points toward the fullness of God’s plan revealed in Christ.
