a messenger of YHVH that appears repeatedly throughout the first four Books of Moses, the Tanakh or Old Testament, and the New Testament on behalf of YHVH. Some believe this may also be the Angel of the Presence mentioned in Isaiah 63:9, though this is more likely Raphael, as the Presence is a reference to the Divine Feminine, of which Raphael is the representative. Although it is believed by some that this angel is the premortal Jesus Christ, YHVH Himself, this angel tells Moses not to make supplication with him, and places himself below the Divine Council in 4 Moses 37:4. Some Rabbinical traditions hold that Zadkiel is the angel of YHVH, it may be they Zadkiel reports to the Angel of YHVH.
