Carrying on …… This author states that in the Old Testament dispensation, the invisible God (Spirit) was embodied in the “visible form of Christ” as the Angel of God. And in New Testament times the same God is embodied in the “physical form of Christ” as the Son of God. This Christ, whether as Angel of God or Son of God has always been the mediator between the invisible God (Spirit) and his creation. And Christ, whether as Angel of God or Son of God, has always been God’s only “Person”, God’s visible image. Furthermore, God the invisible Spirit has always embodied his essential Deity and nature in the visible body of His “Person,” the Christ.
Genesis 28:13, Jacob had a vision of God at Bethel. God made the declaration to him at this time that he was the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac.” And twenty –One years later the Angel of God appeared to Jacob and told him that He was the God that appeared to Him at Bethel (Gen.31:11-13). So we can see from Scripture that the Angel of God is the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac.

So, all of the God in Christ believers need to start defining the concept of "God in Christ" in the Old Testament alongside the New Testament "God in Christ" truth because the neglect of this aspect has caused controversy with believers of different doctrines. A lot of the early pioneers of the God in Christ doctrine taught the concept of God in Christ in the Old Testament. It was and is part of this message.
