Who is? I think this is a physical manifestation of HS (or even FG) It could be a named angel of very high rank (probs above michael and Gabriel?) Unlikely. In NT (greek) same phrase could refer to angels in general.
 * Exod 3:2 burning bush, see commentary, called Elohim and Jehovah
 * See Zech 3:1-6 Joshua Satan judgement, angel is like the baliff/actor
 * As part of prophecies
 * Appears at important points
 * Acts 12:7 see commentary, greek is ambiguous "a" vs. "the". This phrase "aggelos" N-NMS, wiithout an article, is the common use.
