       Remember, in the Old Testament, Christ was not identified as himself when he appeared to people. You’ll see occurrences where it says “the angel of the Lord” and this likely was Jesus in some instances. But he wasn’t pointed out as Jesus because he had not yet come into the world—he hadn’t been revealed to Israel. The description of this man certainly shares similarities we see with the Lord Jesus Christ in other places of Scripture, specifically in The Book of the Revelation 1:13, 14. However, this is also the same description of angels found in Revelation 15:6. It’s not until we reach verse 10 here in Daniel chapter 10 that we see the appearance of the angel in this passage. And, of course, it brings up the first point I want to make today about angels, and that is that in the most basic form they are God’s messengers. They take things God speaks to them and pass them along to God’s servants, us. This was particularly common in Scripture.
