Ok Aineo a theophony is God manifesting Himself in either human or angelic form. I have chosen what i feel to be the perfect scripture to explain my thought.
Genesis 32-"............And a man(denotes gender) wrestled with him until the break of dawn...........Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven( Hebrew saritha, connected with first part of "Israel." ) with beings divine and human( Or "God[Elohim, connected with second part of "Israel"] and men."), and have prevailed." Jacob asked, "Pray tell me your name." But he said, "You must not ask my name!" And he took leave of him there. So Jacob named the place Peniel(face of God), meaning ,"I have seen a divine being face to face(GOD/ELOHIM), yet my life has been preserved."
So here Aineo we see that Jacob received the revelation of a monotheistic God who would later be revealed in flesh........He(Jacob)wrestled with both the human and divine natures of God.
The revelation was so complete that he walked away with a name change to show a total change in his character.
