Jericho
Joshua encountered a figure outside Jericho who identified as the commander of the Lord's army and accepted worship, implying he was the pre-incarnate Christ.
The evaluation of the claims includes: - The story of Joshua's encounter outside Jericho is a scriptural narrative, hence non-verifiable by external evidence. - Regarding the worship of angels, evidence shows that while angels worship God, the direct worship of angels is forbidden according to scripture, leading to a high confidence in this claim. - The suggestion of the pre-incarnate Christ is a theological interpretation with some scriptural backing but is debated among scholars, thus scoring lower on confidence due to mixed theological views.
