Angels of the BibleThe angels of the Bible inspire, comfort, and strengthen our connection to the spiritual realms. Indeed, some of the best-known and most beloved angel quotes come from the Bible. The Bible is a mine of spiritual knowledge and power. It is not surprising that many people look for (and many times find) the answers to their questions in the Bible. They also find solace and consolation amidst the holy stories. Reading about the angels in the Bible gives us hope and open our hearts to receiving divine help. Interestingly, only two angels are named in the Bible: Michael and Gabriel. And Michael is the only one referred to as an archangel. Apocryphal books, like the Book of Tobias, mention Raphael and Uriel. The rest of the angels mentioned in the Bible remain anonymous. The stories of the angels of the Bible are quite interesting and uplifting. So if you are looking for inspiring thoughts, you may find them in this small collection of quotes taken from the Holy Scriptures.
The following angel quotes come from the King James Version of the Bible. This is just a tiny sample of the many passages that mention angels and their interaction with humans.

The following quotes about angels of the Bible come from the New Testament. Many of the stories found in this section of the Holy Book strengthen our concept of angels as messengers. The angel announces Zacharias and his wife will become parents. And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

The angels of the Bible serve God in different capacities. In the Old Testament, they are clearly depicted as messengers and warriors of God. They also act as guides and protectors. In my opinion, the angels of the old testament seem fiercer than the angels of the New Testament.
