The Archangel Michael by Guido Reni

According to Christian belief, Angels are the servants of God. Angels announce the word of God[1], protect God's people[2], and enforce God's will[3]. 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 original word in 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. Of course this is not always the case such as when an angel calls to Hagar "from heaven".[4]

Two angels are mentioned by name in the Bible, Michael the Archangel, and Gabriel
