Zechariah 1:12

Conversation within the Godhead

12: And He, [the] Angel of YHWH, is answering and He is saying YHWH of Armies how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah against which you menace these 70 years? ^{[the seventy years foretold by Jeremiah]}

^{Zechariah 1:12} If the Angel of the LORD in this verse, is the same Angel of the LORD who is identified as the Almighty in Numbers 22, then what we have here is a conversation within the Godhead. We have an example of such in Genesis 1:26, where ELOHIM said, “Let US make humanity in OUR image.”
