Who Was the Angel of the LORD?

by Jim Kerwin

Overview

Certain individuals in the Old Testament saw God -- and they lived to tell about it. Yet John insists, "No man has seen God at any time" (John 1:18); and God warned Moses, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" (Exodus 33:20) A contradiction? How is this possible? To answer these questions, we must look to a unique being called the Angel of the LORD.

Was he Gabriel? No. Michael? Not even close! Vastly more powerful than any rank of angelic being, the Angel of the LORD personally represented God Himself.

But who *was* the Angel of the LORD? What was his identity and why was he unique? Jim Kerwin provides us with a fascinating and thorough Bible study on this powerful and mysterious being from the Old Testament. Along the way, you'll pick up several valuable "tools" for understanding the Old Testament. And you'll come to some surprising insights on how the Bible uses the word "angel." The logical progression of biblical evidence will bring the reader to what may be a surprising answer to the question posed -- "Who Was the Angel of the LORD?"
