    Exod. 23.20-22 "My name is in him"

    "Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him."

    From the passage it clear that the angel of the Lord is intended. The Bible gives as several instances of the angel interacting with man and the sign 'the Word was with God' is part of the blessing conferred on man who enters into the fellowship of God with Man. Faith is the key. Volume of man in his workaday world is spiritually understood. 'The Rock was Christ' at Kadesh, "and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink./And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him."(Num.20.8-9). Man as a steward proves a blessing for himself and his beasts. God sent his word, and healed them and delivered from their destructions . (Ps.107.20) In the case of Gideon he had to offer sacrifice where the angel specified and fire from the midst of the rock was a proof that 'my name is in him.' The volume of man who allied with God by a covenant is same as the Word was with God. "Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."(Ps.50.5)

    The angel in the vision of St John lets him measure,"And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein." The angel is a fellow-servant and he is as a double so they make one measurement. In Christ there is only single unit of 144 which is word based. The entire volume of the holy city is so many multiples of this base unit which in Christ is perfect fit. My name is in him makes both heaven (angel) and earth one fit and it is the new heaven and new earth. It finally rests in mid-air signifying the role of the firmament as a sign. "And God called the firmament Heaven."(Gen.1.8)
