I’m curious as to where you get the artwork that you post with your blog posts. This picture like others you’ve posted are beautiful.

Good point. I agree that the Angel of the Lord was the incarnate Christ. Jordan observes that in the Revelation, Jesus is, well, Jesus to the New Covenant people, but to the Old Covenant rebels He is still the Angel of the Lord bringing the fires of refining and judgment.

Lots of intriguing stuff here, I like this post. I’m not quite sure on the angels coming in flesh contrasted with Christ. My understanding was that oftentimes the Angel of the Lord in Scripture was the Lord Himself in some sort of theophany. You seem to be speaking of angels and the Angel of the Lord as if they are the same kind of thing. I can’t say that I’ve done a lot of research on this, and I might be misreading you, but I’m curious as to how the identity of the Angel of the Lord as God Himself plays into your post above. Several theologians I’ve read in the past seem to see the Angel of the Lord as a pre-incarnate manifestation of the Son.

I enjoyed the post though. Good stuff.
