The burning bush was the manifestation of God in physical form. God did not actually appear to Moses in the burning bush, but spoke to him from the flames. The angel appeared to Moses:

Exodus 3

2- And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

The burning bush was not God appearing to Moses in a physical form. The Angel of Jehovah was. once again if you follow through with the theme of the Angel of Jehovah you will see He is not in the order of created beings but that He was indeed the true Manifestation of Jehovah God. No where in the book of Exodus is the Angel of Jehovah quoted as saying anything but we can conclude He was doing all the talking. When Jehovah God said He speaks to Moses face to face as with a man, the Angel was speaking to Him. The Angel was in the cloud:

Exo 14:19 And the Angel of God withdrew, the One going before the camp of Israel. And He went behind them. And the pillar of cloud withdrew from before them, and it stood behind them.

How do we know that this Angel is Jehovah?In verse 24

Exo 14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch, Jehovah looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

The burning bush was the place that Jehovah spoke from in the form of the Angel of Jehovah and He also appeared to Moses in that form. The burning bush was not an appearance of Jehovah but merely the place that got Moses attention.

Num 14:14 And they will say to the one living in this land, They have heard that You, Jehovah, are in the midst of this people, who is seen eye to eye. You are Jehovah, and Your cloud stands over them; in a pillar of cloud You go before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

The only thing that Moses brought back after communing with God near the burning bush was the knowledge of all the worlds which God had created. He saw the creation of this would and its final glory. This was also in the case of Abraham for he too saw all which God had created.

It was God and not a angel in the burning bush.

I'm afraid that is not the answer sorry to tell you because of this verse!

Exo 3:2 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire from the middle of a thorn bush. And he looked, and behold, the thorn bush was burning with fire, and the thorn bush was not burned up!
