What was the appearance of the three [LORD,lords] who visited Abraham.

Ps82

Quickly, I believe the three were:
Super natural male beings who appeared in the likeness of humanity.
One was The LORD God who stayed behind to talk to Abraham.
The other two Lords were just as super-natural and there was a reason Abraham addressed all three in a similar way as lords/Lords/LORD.
All three were working in one accord to accomplish God's will.

First a question and statement: What is the difference in God and LORD.
My conclusions succinctly:
God / Elohim is an invisible Spirit.
God created a living visible form/image to represent himself within what he created. Adam's body was actually formed after the looks of that male image and likeness.
God gave His Image a name a Name. YHWH / LORD the LORD God

Now I can provide scripture for my thoughts if anyone wishes.

Moving on: From where do I get my ideas about how the three looked? Well, when I saw these next verses it opened my eyes to other things I had been contemplating.
Lamentations 4:6,7,8 They are verses talking about:
The punish to come upon Israel for their sins.
The destruction of S & G and the visage of the people after the destruction.
And the visage of the three super natural Lords who came to Abraham and dealt judgement upon S & G.

See what you think:

Lamentations 4: 6 [judgement of Israel] For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people [Israel] is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her. [IOW - no further judgement followed; once and done]

7 a.) Her [Sodom's] Nazarites [3] were purer than snow [sinless],
b.) they [the three Nazarites / super natural Lords] were whiter than milk,
c.) they were more ruddy in body than rubies [If you have any red heads in your family then you know what that might mean]
d.) their polishing was of sapphire.
[Now, what is there about our bodies that is sort of shiny like a crystal - eyes perhaps?: I looked up colors for sapphires and they were not all blue, but the most prevalent examples were blue.]

My conclusions are:
The three sinless super-natural Lords-the Nazarites, who visited Abraham and went into Sodom, were white.
May have been red heads with skin that blushes easily
Likely had blue shiny eyes.
Through out scripture there are examples of this appearance in the lineage from Adam to Christ. King David was one. Esau was another.

AND did you notice how there was only ONE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION given for all three? They looked alike! Like triplets.

No wonder the Mob in Sodom knew to whose house they needed to go when they laid hands on The LORD God in the streets that night while he was accomplishing the plan to go down and judge!!! They knew because HE looked just like the two who were inside Lot's house. They had to be together that night! They wanted all three Nazarites!


Might this be close to the description of the appearance of God's ONE chosen image which is mentioned in Genesis 1; the ONE IMAGE officially named YHWH/The LORD, whenever he appeared to men of old in the form of a man?

Opps. I forgot to cover verse 8. This verse is the one telling what the chard people of Sodom looked like after The LORD God brought judgement.

Lamentations 4:8 [My ideas inside [ ...]:
8 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known [identifiable] in the streets: Their skin cleaveth to their [chard] bones; it [their flesh] is withered, it [their black chard flesh] is become like a [burnt] stick.

On the other hand the visage of the three sinless Nazarites who visited Abraham and brought judgement to Sodom were white, with a ruddy look about them having blue eyes.

Goofing up at stating you goofed up. I love it! Reminds me a little of this Jerry Lewis movie I saw when I was a kid. In one part, he was carrying several items in his arms while crossing a street, and he dropped one of them. When he went back to pick it up off the ground, he dropped another in the process of doing so. Then, he picked up that second thing, and, while doing so, he dropped yet another thing, and so on...

Guess reading a description of the appearance of the three perfect super-natural men who visited Abraham and then went into Sodom is not interesting to many. Oh well.
