I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking

biblically about everything. In our continued study of Jesus in the Old Testament

we've come to the topic that I've been very excited to talk about which is the angel of the Lord.

We get this character throughout the Old Testament where multiple times he shows up and the question is you read the details about him you go who is this

like is this an angel or is this yawe is this god who is this person exactly so what we're going to do

I'll give you the format for how I'm going to cover this.

Hopefully we'll get it all done tonight, but I'm not going to promise that.

My plan is this.

First we'll talk about who the angel of the Lord is by looking, you know, systematically through

those passages, multiple appearances of this

particular interesting character in the Old Testament. Then I want to

answer the question, even if I identify this as Yawe as God, why do I say it's Jesus? What justification would I have

for suggesting that this angel of the Lord is actually Jesus? And then I want to start

to look into objections and that might be where we run out of time.

So if we run out, we'll pick up next time

at the exact same spot.

But I want to look at objections because I think it's really important.

What I see in the teaching, as I was researching for this is people teach about how

who the angel of the Lord is from like they're kind of Christians teaching to the

Christian audience but then there's the non Trinitarian groups who teach about the angel of the Lord and they love nothing

more than to harp on that issue and they have lots of videos online, but we never see the two

sides interacting. And so I would like to bring those objections up
