The heavenly Being appeared in human form (see Gen. 18:2; Dan. 7:13; Rev. 1:13). The description closely resembles that given by John when Christ was revealed to him. It was, indeed, the same Being who appeared to Daniel (see SL 50; GC 470, 471).
Uphaz.
The location of Uphaz is not known. The name occurs elsewhere in the OT only in Jer. 10:9, where Uphaz is again identified as a source of gold. Some have suggested that it is identical with Ophir, which was famous for its fine gold (see 1 Kings 9:28). Such an identification is not impossible. The names Uphaz and Ophir are similar when written in Hebrew characters.
