Mt. 1v20 says, "The Angel of the Lord appeared to him (Joseph) in a dream." The same Angel of the Lord appears in two further dreams, AFTER the birth of the Lord.
Lk.1:11 says, "the angel of the Lord standing on the right of the altar of incense."
I find this a little confusing when we look at the Angel of the Lord in today's teaching.
Can you enlighten me please Francis? I found this quite confusing when you talked of this in Joshua, but kept quiet, as I didn't want look ignorant then.
Thank you. David

There is a great difference between the "angel of the Lord" in the Old Testament and the New Testament.

In the OT we are thousands of years before Christ. He is the Eternal Word who was to become Incarnate at the due time. He prepared the way for Himself by revealing Himself to certain chosen people, but He Himself WAS that Word.

He is also the Second Person of the Godhead. In His manifestations He used the Angels as His announcers. We read frequently: "the angel of the Lord appeared.......and then GOD spoke" Since the angel is not God, but a creature, he announcers God's Presence to Abraham (for example).

In the New Testament it is different. The Word is about to become Incarnate so the Angel Gabriel is sent to announce this good news to the chosen Mother.

Throughout the NT Angels are seen frequently for several reasons:

1) Jesus is the King of the angelic world so they surround their King with praise - as in the Birth of Jesus. In fact, they are "all over" the Birth, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, especially in Luke's Gospel.

2) Jesus told Pilate that He could call upon thousands of Angels to defend Him if He wished, but He didn't because that would have prevented our Redemption!

3) The Angels in NT also represent US!! An angel is a messenger from God who announces the Good News of Salvation to Humanity.

Once they announce the Birth of the Lord the message is picked up by the shepherds and then they announce it to the people of Bethlehem (Luke 2). They told the people that they could not stop speaking about what they had seen and heard.

Now go to the Resurrection account in Luke: there you find that the Apostles have become the NEW SHEPHERDS who are the "ANGELS" announcing the Good News to the whole world!

We are called to be the Lord's "angels" to others. This has been understood since the beginning of the Church. We say to a person who has been good to us: "You are an angel "!

There is a lot more, but I hope this helps you to see the difference between both testaments.
