it is Greek for picture of Christ
Christo (Christ) + phaneo (picture)

an appearance of Christ before the incarnation is called a Christophany. Many people believe that Melchizedek was a Christophany. The fourth man in the fiery furnace of Daniel also

The pre-incarnate Christ.

Christ is Christ. Christ is God, Not an Angel.

Yes, the Angel of the Lord was the Messiah. Ex: When Jacob wrestled with the Angel all night He told Jacob when he changed his name that he had "wrestled with God and with man, and prevailed" so he wasn't wrestling with any old angel, it was the Messiah

Keep in mind rlk that the Hebrew word that was used was "malach" which means messenger... not a winged creature or angel. It was translated to "angel."

Are you referring to the Lord which appeared to Moses? This was one of Christ's antemortal appearances, before his earthly ministry. If not, please be more specific.
