The Bible says that angels are "ministering spirits," (Hebrews 1:14). In Psalm 103:20 the Bible says, "Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word "

The Bible says that certain angels have a function of service where "little ones" are concerned (Matthew 18:10). It was Gabriel who announced both the birth of John and the birth of Jesus to their parents (Luke 1:19-35).

The Bible says that angels have opened prison doors, taken certain ones out of prison, killed those in opposition to God, and directed certain servants of God as to a particular task God wanted them to do (Acts 5:19; 8:26,12:5-23^-, 2 Kings 19:33). In Revelation 22:8-9 the Bible says, "Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things " {9} "Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God "

The Bible says that angels do not marry or carry on conjugal activity as humans do though they can appear in bodily form as humans (Matthew 22:30; Mark 16:5; Genesis 18-19). Angels can also appear in a more dramatic form. The Bible says that an angel appeared at the tomb of Jesus whose, "countenance was like lightning, as his clothing as white as snow... " (Matthew 28:1-3).

The Bible says that angels shall accompany Christ when He comes to earth a second time (Matthew 25:31; 2 Thessalonians 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 4:16). Conversely, the angels who have rebelled against God will be punished just as any other person will be (Jude 9; 2 Peter 2:4-11).
