angel
Angels are messengers of God in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles along with the Quran. The Hebrew and Greek words for "angel" originally mean messenger, and depending on the context may refer either to a human messenger, possibly a prophet or priest, such as Malachi, "my messenger", but also for more mundane characters, as in the Greek superscription that the Book of Malachi was written "by the hand of his messenger"…
