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 yet a third view by John MacArthur a Bible scholar I greatly respect. 5:13–15 Commander. The Lord Jesus Christ (6:2; cf. 5:15 with Ex. 3:2, 5) in a pre-incarnate appearance (Christophany). He came as the Angel (Messenger) of the Lord, as if He were a man (cf. the one of 3 “angels,” Gen. 18). Joshua fittingly was reverent in worship. The Commander, sword drawn, showed a posture indicating He was set to give Israel victory over the Canaanites (6:2; cf. 1:3). MacArthur, J. J. (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.)
