Judges 6:22 Now Gideon
perceived that He was the Angel of the Lord. So Gideon said, "Alas, O Lord God!
For I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face." John
Revelation 5:11 Then I heard the voices
of many angels, the four living creatures, and the leaders surrounding the throne.
Angels! Sing on your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above, While we toil on, and soothe ourselves with weeping,
Till life's long
night shall break in endless love.

Pilgrims of the Night"
Mary Luke 1:28 When
the angel entered her home, he greeted her and said, "You are favored by the Lord! The Lord is with you."
Luke 1:11-12
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And
when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
2 Kings 1:3 But the Angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the King of Samaria,
and say to them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?'
Joseph
Matthew 1:20 Joseph had this in mind when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. The angel said to him, "Joseph,
descendant of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is pregnant with the holy spirit.
Acts 8:26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down
from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is desert. In Genesis 10, three
men, or angels come to Abraham to predict his son, Issac's
birth. Later on angels became spirit beings in Heaven, serving God then coming to
earth to help us on His command.
Arouse yourself;...our Lord is speaking
with you. Do not wander off. His elect angels surround you, do not be dismayed; the ranks of the demons stand facing
you, so do not grow lax. ~~Fourth-century Evagrius
