Bible Question:
In Joshua 5:14-15 who is the commander of the army of the Lord that talked to Joshua? Was it Gabriell? |
Bible Answer: Here is one commentary that I think does a good job at answering your question. Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence when he understood who stood before him. Joshua's action demonstrated that he was available for God's service, wholeheartedly and without reservation. • Scholars disagree whether the commander was an appearance of God, the pre-incarnate Christ, or an angel. His reference to himself as commander of the Lord's army might imply that he was an angel. However, he did not prevent Joshua from worshiping him, as angels usually did (e.g., Rev 22:8-9; cp. Acts 10:25-26).(NLTStudyBible) |
