Are Angels ambassadors sent from God to guide us, protect us or bring messages from heaven? The word angel comes from the Greek word “angelos” which means messenger. The Bible says that God has appointed many angels to those who love God and call to Him, “Psalms 91:11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.” The bible refers to different types of angels, with varying duties such as ugides, protectors, messengers and angels of the Lord, or as Cherubim, Seraphim, or Archangels, and not to be worshipped for they are “creatures” Col. 2:18; Rev. 19:10; 22:9.
The meanings of angels, their appearance and purposes vary throughout history and the world. Artists have given us their visions of angels as winged creatures, usually beautiful figures that are glowing, shining, floating, in human form or as a voice. Saints as well as everyday people tell about being visited by or helped by angels
In the bible, angels have appeared as messengers, guides, and healers. They also make up the celestial court. “And I beheld and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the number of them was thousands of thousands.” – St. John, the Evangelist. Angels are even recorded in the Koran, “You shall see the angels circling around the throne, giving glory to their Lord”.
The world’s great literature and art tell us about many angel characters – some we’re familiar with and some obscure to us now. Yet, the common thread that weaves amongst the legends and the lore is the undeniable influence that angels have had upon nearly every culture and religion known to man
