I believe you are thinking of
Romans 1:3 regarding the birth of Jesus on earth.
No sir.
Jesus was begotten before creation.
- The Son created the heavens and the earth.
But to the Son He says:
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
And:
“
You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands. Hebrews 1:8-10
- The Son appeared to Abraham.
When Abram was ninety-nine years old,
the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. Genesis 17:1
- The Son appeared to Moses.
Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”
And he said, “Here I am.”
Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face,
for he was afraid to look upon God. Exodus 3:1-6
- The Son got in the fire with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.
“Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and
the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” Daniel 3:25
- The Son spoke through the mouth of the prophets.
Of this salvation
the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time,
the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 1 Peter 1:10-11
All these things were done by the Son, before He became flesh.
