Jesus the Angel of the Lord
The New Testament refers to angels as from God; however it makes no reference to the Angel of the Lord while Jesus was alive for the obvious reason that beginning with the Son's incarnation and until His ascent into heaven, God was dwelling among men a fashion as a man, (Jn. 1:14 Phil. 2:6-89).
The Angel of the Lord is not a created being but the Creator Himself.
The Bible speaks of a particular angel who surpasses all angelic beings in kind and degree the angel of the Lord. His appearances in human form are known as theophany’s, from a Greek noun meaning God Manifested, (See Gen. 12:7). He is the second Person of the Godhead. Angel of the Lord Appearances in Human Form. “As the angel of the Lord, the Son of God, was higher than the angels but in His humanity He was made lower than then angels for a little time,” (Psa.8: 5- 6; Heb. 2: 7- 8).
