The Angel of the LORD in the OT is none other than Jesus Christ...

[old man joe]

since there is nothing that is impossible with God as such pertains to Himself in His
revelations of His nature, being that He created the universe by speaking it into
existence, we should not be surprised to find many wonderful instances when He appeared to
certain individuals in bodily form by the Name " The Angel of the LORD " in the OT... and
in certain instances, by the Name " an Angel of the LORD. " after all, God did appear in
bodily form as recorded in the Gospels and in Acts in the Person of Jesus Christ...
Emmanuel, God with us, who is Jehovah of both the OT and the New. Mk. 1:13 cp Isa. 40:3

" If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of Myself. " Jn. 7:17

the nature of angelic being's revealed in the Bible have been so well perverted over the
centuries that when coming to the Holy Scriptures and finding their mention one is apt to
censor the text's in accordance with presupposed notions. angelic being's do not have
wing's nor do they have halo's around their head's. they are not infantile and they are
never found as females. such notions proceed from the carnal mind mixing denominational
tradition and folklore as Bible study tools.

the word " angel " is a much, much latter word than the word " malak " which is first
mentioned in Gen. 16:7. our word " angel " appeared in the 14th century AD. Jacob sent
" malak " translated " messenger's " on ahead of himself to gain favor with his brother
Esau in Gen. 32:3; it can not be said he sent the host of heaven on ahead of himself.
the word messenger and angel can not even be synonym's since by the time the KJV of the
Bible was translated into the language of the people the perversion of being's with wing's
and halo's was widely believed with the help of the Roman Church and it's fondness for
mysticism an idolatry.

in Gen. 22:15,16 we have direct reference as to exactly who is the Person referred to as
The Angel of the LORD... it is Elohiym Himself, the LORD God, Jehovah God, Jesus Christ.
Messiah Jesus is further spoken of as meeting with Moses speaking to him from the burning
bush identifying Himself as the same Elohiym who appeared to Abraham.

completely foreign to the Holy Scriptures is the pagan idea's that Jesus Christ is a
created being... a superior angel in the host of heaven. the Holy Scripture's identify
Him as God Eternal... and God; " Elohiym " is a plural proper noun. how the Living God
subsists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is beyond human comprehension. nonetheless, He
has and is revealing Himself in such a manner to His elect ones as we read in John chapter
17.

to the objections of the carnally minded, only the elect believe that there is One Elohiym
who subsists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit since God Himself abodes in them revealing
Himself to them in the inner man through the Holy Scripture... and therefore the world
hates the elect because they hate the Living God whom they pretend to worship through
carnal denominations adulterating the Word of God to their itching ears. the non-elect
hate Christ, hate the Father, and completely deny the Holy Spirit whom God has put in the
sons of Light... " therefore the world hates you. "

Jehovah Jesus, just as the Holy Scriptures teach, is none other than the Son of the
Living God, along with the Father and Holy Spirit... the member's of the Godhead spoken of
in Mt. 28:19.

such idea's that Jesus Christ is a created being spring from Satan's messenger's of
darkness as they come masquerading as messenger's of light bringing word's of a different
gospel... a gospel with no power to save since it's foundation is lie's and blasphemy.

not only do we find the NT word " kurios " used in connection with Messiah Jesus, that He
is Jehovah, the great " I AM THAT I AM, " but we find Him identifying Himself as the One
who appeared to Moses as The Angel of Jehovah, who is the Elohiym who appeared in like
manner to Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Moses immediately understood who was speaking with
him as we read in Exodus chapter three... He is the Angel of Jehovah who is the Messenger
of Jehovah who is Elohiym... ' Elohiym ' a plural proper noun improperly rendered by the
singular proper noun " God " as He speaks in the first person singular representing the
Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, just as He reveals Himself in the rest of Holy
Scripture.
