Angel: in Greek
angelos and the Hebrew
malawk, both meaning "messenger", speaking of their function, not their nature.The same word has been used for people: Haggai was referred to as “Jehovah’s messenger [
malawk]” (Haggai 1:13). God, through Malachi, referred to a priest as “my messenger [
malawk]” (Malachi 2:7). And, John the Baptist also was referred to as a “messenger” [
malawk—3:1]. Matthew (11:10) likewise called John the Baptist a “messenger” (
angelos).
We think of angels as spirits (Hebrews 1:14)

though immortal (cf. Luke 20:36), they are not eternal-NOT DIETY,

Angels worship and serve God (Isaiah 6:2-3;) (Revelation 22:8-9)
can take on human form (Genesis 16:10-12) (Luke 1:26)
Acts 7:38,53, Exodus 19:18-25 (Hebrews 1:13-14)
angels even take the spirits of the righteous dead into a state of happiness (Luke 16:22).
called “sons of God” in (Job 1:6; 38:7)
stronger than men (2 Samuel 24:16),
more intelligent (Daniel 9:21-22),
swifter (Daniel 9:21) than any mere man.
angels are intelligent (Daniel 9:21-22; 10:14; Revelation 19:10)
have emotions (1 Peter 1:12—desirous; Job 38:7—joyful).
They also possess free will and the ability to reason (Jude 6; cf. 2 Peter 2:4).
they will accompany Christ at His Second Coming, “rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus” (2 Thessalonians 1:7-
