Subject: Was the OT God of Moses merely an angel? |
Bible Note: Hello Reighnskye, The most straightforward answer to your question is that Gideon realized that the Angel of the Lord was indeed God. This notion is offensive because it runs contradictory to God's dealings. Moses was given plans for a tabernacle by God as a dwelling place for God. That tells me that he desires to live amongst his people in communion. Also God's original intent was for Israel to be a nation of priests (Exod 19:6). Priests represent men to God. It doesn't make sense to have an angel to be an additional intermediary. Steve |
