Isidore of Seville (d. 636): The Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament was the Person of Jesus

  

25. Wherever in Sacred Scripture the word angel is used in place of God, it is neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit, but only the Son, through the dispensation of the incarnation, who is to be understood. (Isidore of Seville, Sententiae [Ancient Christian Writers 73; trans. Thomas L. Knoebel; New York: The Newman Press, 2018], Book I, Chapter 10)
