But when we meet messengers doing supernatural things, there is no doubt they are heavenly beings - God's messengers, working for Him and for the ultimate benefit of mankind. Malachi himself said a priest was a messenger (malak) of the LORD of hosts ( Malachi 2:7), and in the Book of Revelation the elders of the seven churches of Asia were called angels ( 1:20 2:1 etc.). He was himself a messenger, and he prophesied about the coming of "the messenger of the covenant", Jesus Christ ( Malachi 3:1).Īlthough the word "angel" in the Bible, meaning a messenger, nearly always applies to heavenly beings, it can occasionally apply to human messengers. The prophet Malachi took his name from this word. In the Old Testament, with two exceptions, the Hebrew word for "angel" is malak, also meaning 'messenger'. The English word "angel" comes from the Greek angelos, which means 'messenger'. The Old Testament theology included the belief in angels: the name applied to certain spiritual beings or intelligences of heavenly residence, employed by God as the ministers of His will. It’s becoming a frustrating theme for Ohtani that continued against the Astros on. An angel is a pure spirit created by God.
