How do we know Jesus is truly God in the burning bush story?
Answered in 1 source
The 'angel of the Lord' speaking to Moses in the burning bush is understood as the pre-incarnate Christ, affirming His divine nature.
In the account of the burning bush, the figure known as the 'angel of the Lord' is recognized as a manifestation of the Lord Jesus Christ, not a created being. The term 'angel' means messenger, and here, it indicates the divine nature of Christ as He communicates God’s message to Moses. This is affirmed when God reveals His name as 'I am that I am,' a title that Jesus later appropriates in His ministry (John 8:58), asserting His eternal and divine nature. By understanding this passage through the lens of Christ’s pre-incarnate presence, we affirm the foundational belief of the dual nature of Christ—fully divine and fully human—illustrating the union of God's power and humanity in one person.
