Who Is The Angel Of The Lord? (Zechariah's story Part one)

- Is Phanuel the ancient name of the angel of the Lord?   If not, then what happened to him? - Phanuel is the name given to a possible fourth Archangel in the Book of Enoch after Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. He is also considered to be the ruler of the Ophanim. His name means "the…



Zechariah was an Old Testament prophet that  had a vision one night where he saw the angel of the Lord.( However. in this case lowercase. And so, Zechariah probably did not see him as God, but as an angel.)

He saw a man on a red horse standing among some myrtle trees and behind him was some red, brown and white horses. He said, "What are these, my lord?" And the angel told him he would show him what they were..These are those that the Lord has sent to go through out the earth." And they reported to the angel of the Lord that was standing among the myrtle trees, "We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world at rest and peace."

Then the angel of the Lord said, "Lord almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years." So the angel of the Lord spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who talked with me. Zechariah 1: 8-13

Zechariah went on to say that the angel that was speaking to him told him to proclaim that the Lord Almighty said and that was that he is very jealous of Jerusalem and Zion, and that he is very angry with the nations that feel secure. And that he was only a little angry but they had gone too far with the punishment.  Then he said that he was going to return to Jerusalem and there his house would be built. "The measuring line  will be stretched out all over Jerusalem" declares the Lord Almighty.  Also that his towns will again overflow with prosperity and the Lord will again comfort Jerusalem and choose Zion.

Zechariah then said that he looked up and before him were four horns and he asked the angel that was speaking to him, what they were. The angel told him that they were the four horns that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem. And then the Lord showed him four craftsmen and Zachariah asked him what they were coming to do.The angel told him, "These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise their heads, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations that have lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it's people.

Today's scripture reference: Zechariah 1:1-21

The End.
