Who Is the Angel of Lord in the Old Testament? | AskFOI

Who is the mysterious Angel of the Lord who appears throughout the Old Testament? Is He simply one of God’s angels, or could these remarkable appearances actually be the pre-incarnate Christ? In this episode, Dr. David Gunn examines what the Old Testament reveals about the Angel of the Lord. Looking at key passages involving Abraham, Moses, Hagar, and others, he explains the two primary interpretations and why many Bible scholars believe these encounters point to Jesus before His incarnation. Along the way, he also demonstrates why it is important to let Scripture interpret Scripture by reading the Bible forward rather than imposing later theology onto earlier passages. Could the Angel of the Lord be one of the clearest glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament?
