AC 6381
The reason why the Divine Human is called the "angel of Jehovah,"
is that before the coming of the Lord,
when Jehovah passed through the heaven,
He appeared in a human form as an angel.
For the whole angelic heaven bears relation to a man,
which is called the Grand Man....
Therefore when the Divine Itself passed through the angelic heaven,
it appeared in a human form as an angel before those with whom he spoke:
this was the Divine Human of Jehovah before the coming of the Lord.
The Lord's Human when made Divine is the same,
for the Lord is Jehovah Himself in the Divine Human.
That the Lord as to the Divine Human is called an "angel,"...
is evident form many passages in the New Testament
where the Lord says that He was "sent by the Father;"
to be "sent" signifies to proceed,
the word "sent" in the Hebrew tongue
being the same as "angel."
