God had a tremendous intent behind us bypassing our theophany and coming from thought to flesh. It is the soul (which is an attribute of God) that bypassed the theophany, meaning that we came into our earthly existence having no realization that we are sons and daughters of God and that we were with God shouting for joy before the foundation of the world (Job 38: 7).
Jesus did not bypass His theophany. He knew everything that would happen in His life. He could tell us the things that were in the beginning, He could tell us about the things that are, and He could tell us about things that are to be. Every temptation, every trial, every sickness, everything that happened in His life, Jesus understood it. Nothing took Him by surprise because the Word in Him knew all things.
In Heaven we have an angel (a theophany) that beholds the Father’s face (Matthew 18: 10), and when God looks at us on the earth, although we are born in sin, yet He is looking at us through our heavenly representation, through our Word body that is in its perfection and does not know sin, therefore God always sees us as the virtuous, sinless, spotless, Bride of Christ. At the Rapture, the theophany comes to the earth to pick up the flesh body and unite with the soul that bypassed its representation in the beginning.
If we had not bypassed the theophany, then we would have known all things about our lives: past, present and future. Although we do not know all things, we do know by the revelation of the Word that we are sons and daughters of God, and we are understanding more about ourselves as the Word continually unfolds to us. Furthermore, if we had not bypassed the theophany, then God could not have revealed His great plan of redemption for the earth, nor could He have expressed His manifold attributes to us (as the Saviour, the Redeemer, the Healer etcetera). The purpose of God in us bypassing the theophany was for us to come by the sex birth into fallen flesh, that our minds might be darkened to the reality of who we actually are, and that we might be tempted and tested by sin in order to experience the attributes of God and learn about His great love for us.
