The angel of the
Lord is Jesus?
S H A L O M !
_______ A
MESSIANIC JEWISH SCRIPTURAL VIEW ______ Biblical Question:
The angel of the Lord is Jesus??
Our Question:
Dear Pastor
Reuben, In the Old Testament, 'the angel of
the Lord' is often referred to, and in most versions I have seen in the
margin it will write 'or Angel' and I have often heard people say that the
reference here is to the Son of God, this would seemingly offer support to
the doctrine of some that Jesus was an angel who later passed to glory and
was crowned next to God...in an attempt to keep things short I think that you
know the confusion that this can present.. do you
have anything on this that can help, perhaps the original Hebrew can
help...perhaps you can help me....? Thanks, Graham Pastor Reuben's Answer:
Shalom Graham, Jesus
is not nor never has been an angel. Scripture clearly says He has
always since the beginning existed with God, and is God. John 1 and countless
other references which are available to your Biblical study and search. Also
look at these to see that the phrase Biblically = God in the majority of the
cases: Exodus 3:2, Genesis 31:11,13; 22:11, Judges
13:20 Some falsely and without Biblical evidence, teach that Jesus was mere
man or an angel who was exalted for his service and faithfulness. Like the
Jehovah Witnesses, who are mislead and on a route of destruction; much like
those referred to in my answered question #8. Hope this helps
your walk with the Lord. Questions are welcome from ALL readers at ALL
