It seems from the scriptures that with one exception, in all the recorded manifestations of Jehovah prior to his birth in the flesh, he appeared in his role as God the Father, speaking the words of the Father. “That appears to be Moroni's understanding of the circumstance when he later wrote, ‘Because of the knowledge [which came as a result of faith] of this man he could not be kept from beholding within the veil.

Ether 3:25  [The Lord] Showed unto the Brother of Jared All the Inhabitants of the Earth Which Had Been, and Also All That Would Be: The idea of a heavenly being showing a mortal "all the inhabitants of the earth" (Ether 3:25) is not without precedent. Like our word “know” in English, the Hebrew word can indicate mental knowledge, that is, that a person "understands" or "has knowledge" of something, as when we say “I know that 2 + 2 is 4”. For perhaps this and other reasons, Moses responded cautiously to the Lord’s token: “Behold, when I come unto the children Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name?
