Bible Question:
Was it merely an angel that appeared to Moses? Stephen here seems to describe an angelic messenger that spoke in the name of the Lord, even as the Old Testament prophets themselves would proclaim "Thus sayeth the Lord". Was Moses merely interacting with a prophetic angel who said "I AM"? Was the Old Testament Law of Moses strictly administered through angels who spoke "I AM" and "Thus sayeth the Lord"? God has never been seen at any time, but has only appeared through angels and eventually through Christ, no? Am I correct? - Exodus 3 2 The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. (NAS95) Acts 7 30 "After forty years had passed, AN ANGEL APPEARED TO HIM IN THE WILDERNESS OF MOUNT Sinai, IN THE FLAME OF A BURNING THORN BUSH. (NAS95) - Reighnskye |
Bible Answer: Hello Reighnskye, A study of the "Angel of the Lord" through the Old Testament shows that this being is called God and receives worship. Therefore, these are assumed to be pre-incarnate appearances of the Lord Jesus Christ. Steve |
