Zechariah 1:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 So I asked, “My lord, what are these?”
The angel who was speaking with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.”
10 Then the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, “These are the ones the Lord sent to range throughout the earth.”
11 They reported to the angel[a] of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have ranged throughout the earth. Look! All the earth is resting and quiet.”

- Zechariah 1:11 Or Angel, both here and in verse 12. With a capital A, the Angel of the Lord is a title of the pre-incarnate Christ. With a small a, the angel of the Lord refers to a created angel. In some cases the specific identity of the messenger has not been indicated. A significant question in Zechariah is whether the leader of the group of angels which has been sent by the Lord of Armies on the mission of protecting Israel is a created angel or Christ the Angel of the Lord. In the heavenly scene in chapter 3 it seems clear that the Angel of the Lord is involved since he removes guilt. Here the identification of the individual speakers from within the group of angels is less certain.
