Angel of the
Lord Zech 3:1 Then the Angel showed me (in my vision)
Joshua the High Priest standing before the Angel of the Lord; and
Satan was there too, at the Angel's right hand, accusing Joshua of many things.
2And the Lord said to Satan, "I reject your accusations, Satan; yes,
I, the Lord, for I have decided to be merciful to Jerusalem-I rebuke you.
I have decreed mercy to Joshua and his nation; they are like a burning stick
pulled out of the fire." TLB |

Judg 2:1 One day the Angel of the Lord arrived at Bochim, coming
from Gilgal, and announced to the people of Israel, "I brought you out of
Egypt into this land that I promised to your ancestors, and I said that I
would never break my covenant with you, TLB
Judg 6:11 Joash's son, Gideon, had been threshing wheat by hand in
the bottom of a grape press-a pit where grapes were pressed to make wine-for
he was hiding from the Midianites.
12 The Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, "Mighty soldier,
the Lord is with you!" 13 "Stranger," Gideon replied, "if the Lord is with
us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors
have told us about-such as when God brought them out of Egypt? Now
the Lord has thrown us away and has let the Midianites completely ruin us."
14 Then the Lord turned to him and said, "I will make you strong! Go and
save Israel from the Midianites! I am sending you!"
15 But Gideon replied, "Sir, how can I save Israel? My family is the poorest
in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least thought of in the entire
family!"
=Jehovah 16
Whereupon the Lord said to him, "But I, Jehovah,
will be with you! And you shall quickly
destroy the Midianite hordes!" ... 19 Gideon hurried home and roasted a young
goat and baked some unleavened bread from a bushel of flour. Then, carrying
the meat in a basket and broth in a pot, he took it out to the Angel, who
was beneath the oak tree, and presented it to him.
20 The Angel said to him, "Place the meat and the bread upon that rock
over there, and pour the broth over it." When Gideon had followed these
instructions, |

21 the Angel touched the meat and bread with his staff, and fire flamed up
from the rock and consumed them! And suddenly the Angel was gone! 22 When
Gideon realized that it had indeed been the Angel of the Lord, he cried out,
"Alas, O Lord God, for I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face!" 23
"It's all right," the Lord replied. "Don't be afraid! You shall not die."
24 And Gideon built an altar there and named it "The Altar of Peace with
Jehovah." (The altar is still there in Ophrah in the land of the Abiezrites.)

Judg 13:17 Then Manoah asked him
for his name. "When all this comes true and the baby is born," he said to

A stumbling stone for "law"
believers Rom 9:30
What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness,
have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith; 31 but Israel,
pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works
of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:
"Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever
believes on Him will not be put to shame." NKJV
Zion a stumbling
stone NT:3037 lithos (lee'-thos); apparently a primary word;
a stone (literally or figuratively): KJV - (mill-, stumbling-) stone. |

A
rock NT:4073 petra (pet'-ra); feminine of the same as NT:4074;
a (mass of) rock (literally or figuratively): KJV - rock. (Strong's

I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone,
a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily. NKJV See
also Rock (as in "safe as a rock)
Stone OT:68
'eben (eh'-ben); from the root of OT:1129 through the meaning to build; a
stone: KJV - + carbuncle, + mason, + plummet, [chalk-, hail-, head-, sling-]
stone (-ny), (divers) weight (-s). (Strong's Numbers)

will dash them to pieces like pottery." 10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice

in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a
moment.Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
