A Divine Protector
Commentators note that "the angel of the Lord" can be interpreted in several ways: as a specific appearance of Christ (the Angel of the Covenant), as a single powerful angel, or as a representative for a whole army of angels. Regardless of the specific identity, the core message, as John Calvin highlights, is that God provides a powerful, heavenly defense for His people, using angels as ministers to strengthen our faith.
