Angels

Angels are said to be spiritual beings, having human form with wings and usually wearing a white robe. They have even been depicited in paintings and drawings as having halos.
Some believe that angels are virtous (good, righteous) people, who died and when their souls were accepted into heaven they became angels.
Some also believe that we each have a guardian angel the Lord assigned to us at birth or as our protectors because of what it says in

Psalm 34:7 The angel of the Lord encampeth (lives) round about them

that fear Him and delivereth them.

The angels in the Bible generally appear in the role of God's messengers.

Like Gabriel which means, "strong man of God" who is believed to be the angel that shall blow the trumpet blast at the end of time, the Last Judgment. Gabriel can be found in

Luke 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him I am Gabriel

that stand in the presence of God

and am sent to speak unto thee

and to shew thee these glad tidings.

Then theres Michael which means, "one who is like God" believed to be the field commander of God's Army an example of why is found in

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven;

Michael and his angels fought against the dragon (the devil, satan)

and the dragon fought and his angels.

We also have Raphael (not the Ninja Turtle) [that got a chuckle] which means "it is God who heals" this angel is believed to perform all manner of healing. Though not mentioned by name, it is believed he is the angel in

John 5:5 For an angel went down at a certain season

into the pool and troubled the water

whosoever then first after the troubling of the water

stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

Another angel Uriel which means, "light of God" is believed to stand at the Gates of Eden. He is not mentioned by name either in

Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man;

and he placed at the east of the garden of eden

Cherubims and a flaming sword

which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life.

But if you believe or not in Angels. Remeber God's word in

Hebrew 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers

for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
