Gen 18:1-3
18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
KJV
Did you notice that even though it says the FATHER/LORD appeared to Abraham, Abraham called him whom he spoke to "Lord" as in Jesus who is the Word of God who came to men. Also notice that he never says which of them are the Lord, in fact the scriptures lead you to the fact that all three are considered the Lord.
If only one were the Lord, wouldn't it be out of place for them all to speak to Abraham as the Lord, and at the same time? Then why does it say" HE SAID I WILL RETURN" again as if all three are one?
Gen 18:9-10
9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
KJV
Why do they all rise up at the same time? Why does it say that Abraham went with THEM and again it calls THEM, LORD?
Gen 18:16-17
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
KJV
Why does is show them turning their faces at the same time and then again speaking of them all 3 as LORD which he stood before?
Gen 18:20-22
20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
KJV
The ark of the covenant, whom Jesus is, had the mercy seat in the center and the two cherubim's one at each end. Now take a look at what Mary seen at Jesus' resurrection:
John 20:11-12
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
KJV
Now compare the fact that they stood together, spoke together as 1, with Eze when the Lord appeared to him:
Ezek 1:19-22
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
