According to Christian belief, '''Angels''' are the servants of [[God]].  Angels announce the word of God<ref>Luke 1:26-38</ref>, protect God's people<ref>Dan 6:22</ref>, and enforce God's will<ref>Matthew 13:41-42</ref>. Throughout the [[Bible]] there are mentions of people interacting with angels and of angels intervening on behalf of people.

Though the popular notion of an angel is that of a celestial, vaguely human being with improbably bird-like wings, the actual original Hebrew is best translated as "messenger"; thus, it is likely that many of the angels featuring in the Torah were meant to be mortal human beings doing God's work, rather than an actual supernatural manifestation ''per se.''
