mentioning the angel at the outset of the narrative, scripture introduces the voice of God when it says that he said to Moses: I am the God of your father Abraham [Ex 3:6]. A little further on, the same one said: I am He Who Is [Ex 3:14]. So, then, who is this one who is both angel and God alike? Isn’t it he whom we have learned is called by the name the angel of great counsel [Is 9:5]? For my part, I don’t think that this needs much demonstration; just mentioning it suffices for the lovers of Christ.
