And he said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break My covenant with you, Now the Angel of the LORD, Jdg 6:12 Jdg 13:3 Ge 16:7-10,13 22:11,12 48:16 Ex 3:2-6 14:19 23:20 Ex 33:14 Jos 5:13,14 Isa 63:9 Ho 12:3-5 Zec 3:1,2 Mal 3:1 Ac 7:30-33 came up from Gilgal to Bochim: Jdg 2:5 I brought you up out of Egypt: Ex 3:7,8 Ex 14:14 20:2 De 4:34 Ps 78:51-53 105:36-38 and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers: Ge 12:7 22:16,17 26:3,4 Jos 3:10 Ps 105:44,45 I will never break My covenant with you: Ge 17:7,8 Lev 26:42 Nu 14:34 Ps 89:34 Jer 14:21 33:20,21 Zec 11:10 Related Passages: Exodus 23:20+ “Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Judges 6:12+ The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, “The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior.” Judges 13:3+ Then the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and give birth to a son. Joshua 4:19-20+ Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho. 20 Those twelve stones which they had taken from the Jordan, Joshua set up at Gilgal. Joshua 5:9-10+ Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day. 10 While the sons of Israel camped at Gilgal they observed the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the desert plains of Jericho. The Angel of the LORD Gustave Dore Dore is a great artist but not a great theologian! I seriously doubt if the pre-incarnate Christ appeared with wings! Now: To when does this time refer? It's hard to discern with absolute certainty but it is probably referring to a time during the period of Judges and certainly a time when they had had ample opportunity to drive out their enemies but failed to do so. This event therefore could be the postscript to Jdg 1 and would be God's assessment to His people of how well they had followed His instructions and commands in Dt 7, 9, Jos 23,24 given before they came into the promised land.
