Interesting

Great picture of the gospel in that parable. Flesh signified as sinful was required for that demonstration .Jesus did the will of the father not that of his own flesh

A theophany or vison  would not a worked as a sign to the world . Outward flesh and blood was needed to put away the power of sin .Yoked with Christ the burden is made lighter .

In the Psalms the promise of Melchezedek (the eternal priesthood) coming in flesh of the Son of man Jesus from the tribe of Judah.  The tribe of Levi had come to a end. John the Baptist handing over the priestly duties to a new kingdom of priest men and woman from all the nations 

Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Again a theophany(Melchezedek) would have no effect on the law the gospel to the world as it is written .
