The Commander of the LORD’s Army
13When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?" 14And he said, "No; but I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?" 15And the commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, "Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.
Some might think it was an angel, but I don't think so. Angels are never worshiped in scripture. In fact whenever someone tried to worship and angel the angel always told them to get up. I believe this was a manifestation of Jesus Christ.
You see Christ allowing men to bow down and worship him while men are forbidden to worship angels everywhere in the Bible. In Joshua he is called the Commander of the Lord's army and in Hebrews 2 he is called the captain of salvation.
10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
