"See, I AM sending an angel before you to keep you safe on the way and bring you to the place I have made ready.
Be on your guard in his presence and listen to him; do not resist him for he will not pardon your wrongdoing, for MY name is in him.
If you listen to him and do what I say, I will be the enemy to your enemies and the opponent of your opponents. MY angel will go before you and bring you to the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; all these I will destroy." - Exodus 23:20-23
(See, I AM sending an angel before you. It is very difficult to speak adequately of GOD's Providence for us. Am I to say every moment: "This is the work of GOD?" Here Scripture speaks of the "angel" that GOD sent before Israel. It is a way of saying that GOD protected and guided HIS own people, availing HIMSELF of countless, visible and invisible intermediaries.)
