Who Is The Angel of the Lord?

The Bible is silent about the original creations of angelic beings and does not indicate the time of their creation. However, with what the Bible does reveal (as developed in a previous section), it is clear that they are created beings. As already established, angelic beings are not eternal beings, it is impossible or them to be self-created, just as it is impossible that “chance” created them. God created them! Further, we can surmise that God created them before He created the physical universe. Apparently these beings were present when God created the physical universe, and they rejoiced in the awesome display of power that they witnessed, and gave praise and worship to the Creator. As we proceed with this study, the only authoritative source that we will turn to is the written revelation of God in the Holy Scriptures. This session explores what the Bible reveals of The Angel of the Lord, who appears frequently in the Old Testament accounts. Several conclusive reasons are evident that The Angel of the Lord is no less than the Second Person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, in pre-incarnate appearances at key points in the unfolding plan of God's Redemption.
