Malach Hapanim part 19
from Kol Ha Yeshuah Netivyah Podcasts Hosted by Udi Zofef
Messiah – The "Face" of the Lord. "Yeshua Sar Hapanim" (Yeshua The Minister of His Presence), is one of the intermediates who bring the prayers of Israel before the throne of The Father, according to a blessing recited while blowing the trumpets on Rosh Hashana (the Jewish new year). This enigmatic Man-God figure - "The Angel of His Presence" (literally in Hebrew – "The Angel of His Face") - appears only once in the biblical text under this title (Isaiah 63:9). This redeeming figure has become a hot issue in both Jewish and Christian mystical traditions. The gospel of John and other New Testament sources clearly portray the Messiah along the lines and characteristics of this divine messenger, which becomes an important key for understanding their unique concept of salvation.
