even a little Greek can help. The word angel carries the idea of "messenger
of" we see that clearly in revelation in regars to the angles of the 7
churches. Paul was considerd God's messenger, and treated well because the
did it us unto the Lord.
Other will undoubtedly be more tech than I, but it seems to fit.
I hope it helps.
Mark
Christ pointed out that when we do things to others (esp. of His own) we
have done it unto Him (the Logos--another thread) and the way God has chosen
to speak to us in these last days (Hebrews)
