Different Types of Theophany As Hebrews 1:1 says, “In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways…” God also communicated his presence to people through theophanies in many ways. In the scriptures, God appears to humanity in thunderstorms, in clouds, in smoke, in pillars of fire, in chariots, as a man, as a warrior, as an angel, and among others in court scenes. As you can see, there are many different types of theophany. Many categorize theophanies into three categories: non-human form, appearance as a man, appearance as an angel. The word Christophany, on the other hand, applies only to Christ, and means similarly "the appearance of Christ."
