The angel of the Lord is Jesus?

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 refered 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 angel
who was exalted for his service and
faithfulness. Like the Jehovah Witnesses, who are mislead and on a route
of distruction; much like those referred to in my
answered question #8.
Hope this helps your walk
with the Lord.
