Bible Question: In the NT how many references are made to the angel of the Lord? Where are these references found (chapter and verse)? |
Bible Answer: I find 12. Mathew 1:20, 1:24, 2:13, 2:19, and 28:2 Luke 1:11 and 2:9, Acts 5:19, 7:30, 8:26, 12:7, and 12:23 In most cases these angels of the Lord are ministering spirits as described in Hebrews 1:14, not an incarnation of Jesus as usually the Angel of the Lord refers to in the Old Testament. The exception is Acts 7:30 which is Steven's reference to Moses encounter with the Angel of the Lord (God) in the burning bush in Exodus 3. |
