There are various views according to the following site: gotquestions.org/angels-seven-churches-Revelation.html and of course there are other sites on this issue. As a side note, I do know that "the angel of the Lord never appears in the NT as the angel of the Lord. At Acts 7 Stephen mentions him, verses 30-40, specifically vs 30 and vs38. Read Exodus 3:6. In my opinion the "BEST" proof that the angel of the Lord is the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ is at Genesis 22. | |

So the 3 angels that appear to Abraham in Gen 18 the primary one Abraham converses with is the "Angel of the Lord" essentially God. The 2 others are angels he brings to perform the functions of inspection and judgement on Sodom. These are the two men/angels that speak with Lot. So we essentially have the "angel of the Lord" + 2 additional heavenly spiritual beings. Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. Related side question: 😊 what's your understanding of the "angels" of the 7 churches in revelation? Rev2:1 Spiritual beings or human church leaders? | |
