Angel Of The Lord/review

As we have seen both in the Old and New Testaments, the angel of the Lord appeared to various people for various reasons and in various forms. These are mentioned in scripture:

 Old Testament:Hagar, Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Sampson's parents, Zechariah, David

New Testament: Joseph, Peter, King Herod

Were there other people that the angel of the Lord appeared to? I do not know but it is possible. However these people were chosen for a reason.

To deliver his people from captivity. To lead them to safety. To destroy their enemies. To protect, guide and direct them. And above all, to forgive, love and save them from their sin.

All of which he is willing and able to do for us today. Because his love for his people did not start with Genesis, only to end in Revelations. No. In fact, Revelations is only the beginning of things to come. Because unlike what went on in all those many years before Christ was born and even after he was crucified, it did not end there. But has went on to a time when he will come back to take his church home. And at that time he will destroy his enemies.

In the mean time, he delivers his people from the captivity of drugs, adultery, and whatever else we get ourselves into. He protects us everyday, guides and directs us. And above all, he forgives us because he loves us and saves us when we ask him and admit that we are sinners and wants him to come into our lives.

The questions remain. Who is the angel of the Lord? God himself? Jesus Christ?  Someone other spiritual being/angel that God created?

It appears that he is God. Could be Jesus too. Maybe both. Doubtful it is any other angel. We won't know exactly how it all works at this point. We just have to believe. It is what is what is required. Not that we have to understand. Just believe and trust that God knows and that is all that is important.

Thanks for coming by Friends. Now that we have learned at least some things about the angel of the Lord, what can we learn about other angels that the bible talks about? Next time, we will start looking at some of those things we can find. Have a blessed day.
