‘The angelof the LORDencampsaroundthose who fear Him,and he delivers them’ Psalm 34:7

The stories of angelic visitations are replete in the scriptures and often times they show up either to deliver a message, to bring about God’s deliverance and to effect God’s will here on earth. The mentioning of the word ‘Angel’ brings that sense of spirituality and the unseen realm, yet very real image of divine presence.

Looking at the etymology of the word we come to see the following; "one of a class of spiritual beings, attendants and messengers of God," a c. 1300 fusion of Old English engel (with hard -g-) and Old French angele. Both are from Late Latin angelus, from Greek angelos, literally "messenger, envoy, one that announces," in the New Testament "divine messenger," which is possibly related to angaros "mounted courier," both from an unknown Oriental word (Watkins compares Sanskrit ajira- "swift;" Klein suggests Semitic sources). Used in Scriptural translations for Hebrew mal'akh (yehowah) "messenger (of Jehovah)," from base l-'-k "to send." An Old English word for it was aerendgast, literally "errand-spirit."  https://www.etymonline.com/word/angel

From the above, we come to see clearly that Angels are spiritual beings whose origin is in God and they are His messengers.

In this episode, I would love to share my personal angel story which happened when I was in Secondary School (High School). This experience reinforced my conviction on what the scripture recorded in Hebrews 1:14, 14Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
