What the Bible Says About Angels According to the bible, an angel is a pure spirit created by God, and their job is to be a messenger for God. The word angel actually comes from the Greek word aggelos, which means messenger. The Hebrew word for angel is mal'ak, and it has the same meaning. Sometimes the bible even uses different words to signify angels. This happens first in Job when he calls them “ordinary people who carry messages” (Job 1:14). Then Isaiah calls them “prophets” (Isaiah 42:19). Then at the end of the bible they are mentioned as “church leaders” (Rev 1:20).

While the Scriptures give no definite figures, we are told that the number of angels is very great (Daniel 7:10; Matthew 26:53; Hebrews 12:22). It appears that all angels were created at one time. No new angels are being added to the number, yet angels are not subject to
