This could apply to Isaac, easily. And, to Christ the only begotten Son of God, who, by the Spirit, was placed in Mary's womb. At least, that's the way i've heard it in the past. My <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/my2cents.gif" alt="" />

Edited because I only answered one question! I remember sitting in on a class on the Old Testament at RTS in Jackson MS, when taking a tour with a friend of mine, who eventually ended up as a student there. The Prof., tragically I forgot who it was, was talking about Christophanies (early revelations of God in human form) where often the writer refers to the sight as an angel, but the angel speaks of Himself in words only used by God Himself. It would seem to me that this is the case here, though, one of the more educated people on this board will surely be able to say more...
