13 Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, (Here it is stated very plainly the entity who spoke to her who was the Lord Himself.) “You are a God who sees” for she said, “Have I even remained alive here after seeing Him?” 14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.” (Notice that Hagar refers to the Angel as "God" is surprised to still be alive after she had seen Him! Indeed, the word Beer-lahai-roi means, “well of the Living One seeing me.” 8 He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.” 9 Then the angel of the LORD said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority.” 10 Moreover, the angel of the LORD said to her, “I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count.” (A regular Angel cannot give life, only God can do that, Deu 32:39)11 The angel of the LORD said to her further, “Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has given heed to your affliction. 12 “He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him And he will live to the east of all his brothers.” ( He knew she was with pregnant with son, and what he would be like). “7 Now the angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. This can be simply suggested in some places but it is clearly shown in others. When we see "The Angel of the Lord." mentioned in Scripture we believe we are seeing a record of a Old Testament appearance of Jesus. When he appeared in human form he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross". Christ set aside his place in the in the God head and became a human. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. This is clearly laid out in Philippians 2:6-8 " Though he was God he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. We believe that the Word i.e, Christ the second person of the God-head or Trinity, preexisted the God/Man Jesus Christ. The Word (Christ, the second person of the Trinity) was made flesh. This refers to the moment when God and mankind were united in the womb of a virgin and Christ was conceived. Okay to farther our word study just what does the word “Incarnation” mean? It is taken from the Latin word caro, or “flesh”. Which simply means an appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament before the “Incarnation” We see numerous references to the "Angel of the Lord" in the Bible but his is not an Angel presa only a reference to a pre-incarnate appearance in the Old Testament of the second person of the Trinity Jesus Christ. No, I think not, we see him at the very beginning of the Bible, but he is called by a different name. These are the first verses in the Gospel of John the third book of the Testament and a biography of Jesus Christ.īut who is this Jesus? Did He suddenly appear in the first century out of the wishful thinking and imaginations of a rag-tag band of malcontents weary with the oppressive rule of the Romans? Is He a product of religious fancy and wishful thinking? 3Through him all things were made without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1-3 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
