Why is Christ the angel of the Lord ? The Angel of the Lord Fulfills the same role as Christ: The Bible says "no one has seen God at any time," But Christ, who is God the second person of the trinity, has revealed exactly what God is like. If we want to know more about God then we look to Jesus. The Angel of the Lord fulfills the same roll as mediator between man and God, both in the Old Testament and the New. After Jesus incarnation, the angel of the Lord is no longer mentioned. The Angel of the Lord Identifies Himself as God: The Angel of the Lord is also called names which God reserves for Himself alone. When the Angel of the Lord appeared in the burning bush (Ex 3:2), He is called "the LORD (Yahweh)" (Exodus 3:  . The Angel of the Lord also appeared to Abraham who called Him "Lord (Yahweh)" (Genesis 18:1). In Genesis 18 there were three angels who visited Abraham but when the other two left to go to Sodom, Abraham was left standing next to the "LORD" (Genesis 18:22). Similarly the Angel of the Lord identifies Himself as "wonderful" to Manoah's wife (Judges 13:18) - Jesus is the "wonderful counselor" (Isaiah 9:6). The angel of the Lord also answered Manoah's wife prayer which she had "prayed to the LORD." (Judges 13: He also received worship which no angel (apart from Satan) would do. John was rebuked by an Angel when he fell at it's feet in worship, the angel told John to only "worship God." Jesus received worship and so did the angel of the Lord.(Joshua 5:14-15)The Angel of the Lord is a different person than the LORD: Even though the Angel of the Lord is identified as LORD (Yahweh), He is a different person than the LORD. In Zecharia 1:12-13 He speaks to the "Lord Almighty." This is an example of the Son speaking to the Father, just like in Psalm 110:1, or the Father speaking to the Son in Psalm 45:6 (CF Hebrews 1: Therefore in light of the three points above, the Angel of the Lord has to be Christ.

Iwillbeback:TRINITY is a false doctrine! Archangel Michael is the same person who came as Jesus. He is the WORD of God {John 1:1; Revelations 19:13} which means it's through him that all heavenly armies receives instructions from God. He is the one standing for the salvation of obedient mankind and through his earthly mission many will gain everlasting life {Daniel 12:1} God has given him the authority to raise the dead {1Thessalonians 4:16} so with just a call all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out {John 5:28; Daniel 12:3 compare to John 11:43-44} all other loyal angels are reporting to him so they are called "his angels" Revelations 12:7 compare to Matthew 25:31 Satan is the head of all rebellious angels {Revelations 12:7} he deceived 1/3 of the angels to abandon their duties in heaven {Revelations 12:4} and they came to have sex with female humans {Genesis 6:1-2} he is one of the first sets of angels in heaven so Michael (Jesus) is waiting for orders from his father before destroying Satan and all other rebellious beings whether human or angels!

| Re: Why Is Christ The Angel Of The Lord ? by StillDtruth: 7:44am On Mar 05, 2025 |
MaxInDHouse:You are the one Lying even more than him with your blasphemy of Jesus Christ by reducing God, to an Angel. Even your Hebrews 1 acknowledges angels worship Him. No where do you see angels worship Archangel Michael. So you are Lying. Trinity is indeed common sense following the same principle of unit, couple, duality, and all the collective pronouns we use 1 Like |
