It is stretching it to conclude, based on this one incident, particularly since this is a theophany, that God literally needed the food. |
As for the theophany in the eleventh chapter of the Gita, Arjuna has a vision of Krishna's awesome cosmic form and feels overwhelmed. |
At Bethel Jacob dreamt of angels walking up and down the ladder and in the morning he set up a stone to mark the place of the theophany? |
And it's interesting that this word is used here to herald God's presence and to announce some kind of a theophany or some kind of a vision of God. |
The subject to be considered is generally called the theophany of Mount Horeb. |
His biography, written by St Gregory of Nyssa, describes the crowning moment of divine theophany. |
