What about angels?

The scriptural word “angel” means literally a messenger. Often, the depiction of these spirits in Christian art is in human form, with wings, swords, and dazzling clothes. Unfortunately, this has led many to dismiss angels as another mythological beast, like a unicorn, griffin, or sphinx.

The Bible only names four angels: Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael. The Archangel Michael is the powerful agent who wards off evil, and delivers peace at the end of life’s mortal struggle.
