How do we know that Jesus is the angel of the Lord?

In the New Testament, Stephen refers to the angel who spoke to Moses in Acts 7:37-38, identifying Him as a prophet like Moses, which aligns with Jesus' role. Additionally, Paul's reference in 1 Corinthians 10:9 states that the Israelites tempted Christ in the wilderness, asserting that the angel of the Lord present in the Old Testament is indeed Jesus. Thus, through scripture, we can see the continuity of Christ’s identity as the angel of the Lord, signifying His divine authority and salvific role.
