Bible Verses About Angel

The Bible talks about angels quite a bit. In fact, there are over 300 references to angels in the Bible. Angels are mentioned both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. In the Old Testament, angels are often seen as God’s messengers. They appear to Abraham, Moses, and other prophets to deliver messages from God.

In the New Testament, angels appear to Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds to announce the birth of Jesus. Angels also appear to Jesus’ disciples after his resurrection. So what does the Bible say about angels? Angels are spirit beings who were created by God. They are not human, and they are not God.

Angels are often seen as messengers of God, and they are often used as a means of protection for God’s people. Angels are a big part of the Bible, and they play a significant role in God’s plan for humanity.
