“Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him. (Exodus 23:20-21 ESV)
As God promised to Moses and Israel His ongoing presence as He led them toward the promised land, He spoke of His Angel, One whom they should obey, One Who had within Him the very name of God. Fast forward a few thousand years to a group of people gathered to hear John the Baptist, and as One comes up out of the water, a Voice from heaven says: "This is My beloved Son; hear Him." And so the writer of Hebrews concludes: "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, (Hebrews 1:1-3 ESV)
