A Glimpse of the Trinity
Commentators highlight a theological puzzle in this verse: "The LORD of hosts... has sent me." How can the LORD be sent? Scholars like Calvin and Barnes conclude this is the Son of God (who is also God/LORD) speaking, sent by the Father. This provides a powerful Old Testament window into the distinct persons of the Trinity, showing Christ as the divine protector sent from the Father.
