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 amen 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:

30 And Jacob called the name of the place penile: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

Genesis 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,

The pre-incarnate Jesus Christ is one of the three. The other two are angels (see Genesis 19:1). He's the only person of the Godhead that man has ever seen. ("No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him" John 1:18)

Two of the "men" head to toward Sodom while the LORD tarries to talk with Abraham (Genesis 18:22*). The other two are in fact angels (Genesis 19:1a "Then there came two angels to Sodom at even;) After the angels escort Lot and his family out of Sodom, the LORD destroys Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24).

I see I'm still supplying the Book and Chapter for your incomplete references. Are you unable to do this yourself?
