John 1:18 and John 6: 46 implies that Jesus appeared in the Old Testament.
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Jesus met Abraham before the judgement of Sodom and Gommorah, during Jacob's dream of the divine ladder, Moses at the burning bush, the pillar of cloud and fire to lead Israel, Joshua and the Captain of the Host, the book of Judges, the parents of Samson, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and in Isaiah 6:1-5 where he mentioned that he saw the Lord of Hosts. Just like Moses, he couldn't have seen God the Father, so he had to have seen Jesus.
This isn't polytheism. This is different persons with the same divine essence being mentioned throughout the Old Testament.
