Who is the angel of the Lord in the OT?
I would like your input on this. I am doing a study on this right now and I find it an interesting study. If you study the angle of the Lord in the OT I think you will find that this messenger has characteristics of deity. You will see him make oaths and swear by himself. You will see him put words into peoples mouth and you will see him accept worship. The angel of the lord is refered to as God and lord back and forth in certain verses. The people that encouter him fear their lifes because they say they have seen God. From my study on the subject I cant help but conclude that the the angel of the lord is non other than the word found in John 1 which is the preincarinate Jesus. Notice that Jesus in John 8:58 say he was the I AM which was the same thing that we find in the burning bush with Moses. This was just a glimpse and I look forward to a discussion on this topic.
Thanks.
