How do we know that Jesus is the Angel of the Covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is identified as the Angel of the Covenant, fulfilling the roles of both God and messenger in His redemptive work (Malachi 3:1).

The title 'Angel of the Covenant' for Jesus is biblically supported, as He is the one who not only serves as a messenger but also fulfills the requirements of the covenant of grace for His people. In the Old Testament, the Angel of the Lord, who appears to various figures like Abraham, is often understood to be a pre-incarnate manifestation of Christ Himself. Malachi 3:1 highlights this by referring to Him as the Messenger of the Covenant. This dual role emphasizes His divine essence, as He is both God and the one who communicates God's will to humanity.
