6. The Anger of the Lord
I Chronicles 21:18 Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to
tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the
threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. This later became the
site of the temple of Solomon.
There is a dialectics in the Angel of the Lord. He is the Lord God,
yet he is a distinct personality - distinct and comprehensible,
visible, audible and in human form. Look what Zachriah says:
Zechariah 12:8"In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants
of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall
be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the
Angel of the LORD before them."
Could this be Jesus?
Zech 2:10 "Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am
coming, and I will live among you," declares the LORD.
And he did in the person of Jesus.
Jesus claimed to be the supreme malakh of God. "Anyone who
has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).
Jesus claimed that "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58)
Abraham called the angel of the Lord as the judge of mankind;
and in John 5:22 Jesus says, "The Father judges no one, but
has entrusted all judgment to the Son."
Since man cannot see his face of glory and live, he put on a face
so that everyone can look, see and be saved.
Phill.2: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider
equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself
nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in
human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he
humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on
a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and
gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth
