What is an angel ?
Some believe in quite a traditional Christian
approach in which angels, semi-physical beings, are
placed in an angel hierarchy with archangels being at the top.
Some people believe angels are more a form of
energy that takes on various forms when it’s
vibrations are lowered to make it visible to earthly
beings. Throughout history many religions have embraced the concept of angelic beings among them. The genus "Angelus Occidentalis" is a general term used to describe a number of angelic species found within Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Zoroastrianism. It is within Zororastrianism that these angels were first mentioned about 1000 BC. |

It is almost universally believed that
God uses angels to communicate with mortals, the Angel
Gabriel speaking to St. Mary, the Angel Moroni
delivering the Gold Plates to Joseph Smith, etc. There are almost as many definitions
of an angel as there are believers. Definitions
sometimes describe the duties or powers of an angel
and other times describe where an angel come from or
what it is composed of.
An Angel is:
1) one of many different types of light
beings, all working for a higher power.
2) a celestial being who acts as an intermediary
between heaven and earth.
3) a messenger of God.
.
4) a kind and lovable person; one who manifests
goodness, purity, and selflessness 5) a divine or semi-divine being who is able to work with humanity for a number of purposes. |

fast vibration on a high spiritual hierarchy 9) a
spiritual helper for humankind 10) a
winged messenger, luminous and closest to God. 11) a
high spiritual being appointed by God to guide,
protect and help us. 12) in modern spirituality angels are often seen as energy patterns expressing an angelic hierarchy that is more closely connected to source god then are humans The majority of Christians believe that angels are a separate creation of God, of a higher realm, spiritual beings.

I t is believed that angels can
take forms that are easily recognized and identified
by the one who is receiving an angelic message, forms
that are not frightening. The best known angel of God is Satan, who is generally thought of as being evil. A close examination of the Bible, however, tells us that Satan was not this being’s name, but his office, the job he was performing. In the Bible the word satan, is a noun which means adversary or opponent. Whenever a satan appears, he is acting under the orders of God to resist or oppose someone. Whatever
an angel may be, a deceased person or a powerful being
created by God, too many people have seen them, spoken
with them and dealt with them to say that they do not
exist. Thousands of individuals have received messages from
angels, warnings, enlightenment and encouragement.
