Who the Angel of the Lord Is (and What the Angel Does) • Spiritual Beings Ep. 5

  • The Angel of the Lord is one of the most fascinating spiritual beings in the Hebrew Scriptures. Every time this figure appears, he’s depicted as if he is God, but also an angel sent by God. In this video, we explore this paradoxical character and discover how he prepares us for the grand claims that will be made about Jesus in the New Testament.
    Special thanks to Dr. Michael S. Heiser, author of “The Unseen Realm,” for script consulting on this series.

      @The Word God literally said. When moses asked saying who should I *say* sent me. And God said tell them I AM hath sent you. For I AM That I AM. I am YHWH(is made up of the two words I AM). THAT'S why the Jews picked up stones and wanted to stone Him. Because Jesus called himself by God's name.

      Dear Rusty, we were JW as well and this video’s helped us in the beginning to walk the path of discovering who God is. Because here they are close to what JW are telling. However , the way Christ is portayed here, is not entirely what is in the Scripture, because the disciples clearly stated that that Jesus was Gods Son, not any angel what so ever. After the leaving of JW I had much difficulites to discern what is true and what is not. The fact is, it not black and white. We are are now born again Christians and very happy. If you ever want to talk, please let me now. Regards, Don

      I had this epiphany sometime ago. I noticed everytime The Angel of Lord appeared from Genesis and onwards, He spoke with the authority of God and at times the subjects even offered worship. I found that interesting and could only come to the conclusion that this was a incarnation of Jesus. John 8:58 gave a clue "before Abram was even born. I AM". It's a mind blowing bible study.

    The Holy Spirit is bringing the church back into the knowledge of the ancient concepts that the biblical writers understood when they recorded the scriptures. This is thorough and necessary, and should be exposed to all Christians who want to understand these often passed over concepts in Scripture.

    • @joshua_tobler
      @joshua_tobler 5 років тому +14

      I agree. I don't want to get too critical of the theologians and councils that produced the creeds--most of them were far better-read in the scriptures than I am. But I still can't shake the feeling that too many denominations are giving the creeds precedence over the plain text of scripture, even as they give lip-service to a "Sola Scriptura" approach to the Bible. That strikes me as dangerous, tantamount to "teaching as doctrines the commandments of men" as warned of in Matthew 15:9.
      I'm not saying that appealing to the plain text will necessarily force us all to the same conclusions about what that text means or how to resolve apparent contradictions. A good-faith appeal to the text of the Bible can still produce valid disagreements about doctrine. But I wish we could at least all agree on a scripture-first approach to having these discussions.

    One of the most fascinating and mysterious spiritual beings in the Hebrew Scriptures is the character called “the angel of the Lord.” Ancient and modern readers have puzzled over this figure because he is described in a way that seems paradoxical: as a being who is distinct from Yahweh the God of Israel (“the angel of Yahweh”) but who talks and acts as if he is Yahweh. For example, when he appears to Hagar (Genesis 16:7-13) and Moses (Exodus 3:1-4), he is called an “angel,” but also “Yahweh,” and even “God.” And when this angel comes to Gideon (Judges 6:11-24), he speaks as if Yahweh is distinct from himself (“Yahweh is with you, O mighty warrior!” Judg 6:12), but then the narrator calls this figure “Yahweh” (“Yahweh said…” Judg 6:16). We’re then told that “the angel of Yahweh disappeared” (Judg 6:21), only to find Yahweh still there talking to Gideon (Judg 6:23)! And it gets even more mind-bending! The figure that Moses sees in the burning bush (Exod 3:2) is the same figure who leads Israel out of Egypt in the pillar of fire and cloud (Exod 14:19-20), who settles in cloud and fire atop Mt. Sinai (Exod 19:18-20), and whose glory-cloud settles over the finished tabernacle (Exod 40:34-38). This is the same figure who appears to the prophets Isaiah (Isaiah 6:1-6) and Ezekiel (Ezekiel chs. 1 and 10). When you back up, you see these stories are all coordinated and pointing to the startling claim that Yahweh’s identity in the Hebrew Scriptures is a complex unity. Yahweh is invisible, transcendent, and above all, as Solomon says: “The heavens and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain you!” (1 Kings 8:27). However, this God is also ever-present in all of creation (make a cup of tea and ponder Psalm 139!). When the biblical authors describe the localized, embodied presence of God in a single place and time, they introduce the “angel of Yahweh,” a human-looking figure who is both Yahweh and distinct from Yahweh. This ancient biblical belief of the “complex unity” of Yahweh is the seedbed of the ideas expressed in the early messianic Jesus movement. Jesus talked about himself as both distinct from God (“the Son”) but also as “one with the Father” (see John 10:30). Or, as the introduction to John’s Gospel puts it: “The Word was with God, and was God” (John 1:1). That may seem like a contradiction to modern readers. But to anyone familiar with the portrait of the angel of Yahweh in the Hebrew Scriptures, the claim of the New Testament begins to make more sense (as much as it can, at least!). The angel of Yahweh was Yahweh appearing as a human, and Jesus of Nazareth is that Yahweh figure become human. For more information, read through our video notes here: bit.ly/2uaFLFu

    • @coinexchange1761
      @coinexchange1761 5 років тому +35

      I believe you are missing a critical piece of information that, if understood, would clarify the events read in the Bible.
      Namely that (except Jesus The Messiah) no one has heard the direct voice of God. This will sound like a contradiction, but it is not.
      What people do not fully understand is that God uses Angels as Messenger(s). Everyone knows that. What they do not know is that when God speaks to a man/woman or prophet; He does not speak directly to them. (as in using his direct voice)
      Instead, it is an Angel who arrives and acts as a stand-in and echos the words of God. The Angel hears, then speaks what he hears. Acting like a loudspeaker with a thundering voice or a gentle voice that Mankind can perceive.
      The same is true of the Holy Spirit. It hears what God says and it repeats. Leading to a communion with God without direct communication.
      Again, it seems as if it were a contradiction that no man has heard God. But it is in fact true. (Except Jesus)
      No one has seen him directly either, otherwise they would die. God goes through extra-ordinary lengths to hide his face from people [Clouds, Fire, etc], even appointing "Covering" Angels so that people do not witness Him directly....and die.
      ---------------------------
      "Angel of the Lord" is factually correct. They (the people who are witnesses to these event in the Bible), do see an Angel (a spirit) [either as a humanoid form or a moving phenomena] and it utters the words of God verbatim but they themselves are not hearing the direct voice of God. They are only hearing His message.
      So it is called "An Angel of the Lord". Are you catching on?
      Basically put, the things people identify with God are actually Avatars of phenomena or Angels who act as intermediaries and deliver a message from God.

    I have also experienced this. It is a gift, an amazing treasure and astonishing!!... that's the best way I can describe it! I can't physically see God but this light finds me and has spoken to me or in another occasion has entertained me by putting on a wonderous heavenly show that leaves my heart with wonder and joy. Than after, I am puzzled and wonder if anyone else has just seen what I witnessed. And because they're usually non-believers.. They say no, what are you talking about I didn't see anything! This is how I know it's a gift God has given me. I can not access it whenever I want though. It's not like I say to it.. appear! And it obeys or anything like that... This wonderous spirit usually shows up after I've spent time talking with God, or meditating on God. Or I ask God a bunch of questions. It's really quite fascinating!!
