Theophanies helped to establish Hazakim's unique sound and approach to lyricism in the christian hip hop genre.

Following their independent 2001 release titled Hip-Hologetics, Hazakim signed with Lamp Mode Recordings in 2007.

It was produced entirely by Hazakim and contained guest appearances from fellow label-mates Shai Linne and Stephen the Levite as well as MuzeOne.

The album ends with a declaration that this messenger was, in fact, the pre-incarnate Son of God, Jesus.

"[3] Due to the positive reception Theophanies received, Hazakim's subsequent album, Son of Man, was able to crack multiple Billboard charts, despite the five year gap between projects.
