Just a reminder that "AGGELOS" means "messenger". While this is commonly

You are absolutely correct in your statement. In the 7 letters of Caps. 2, 3
I think reference is made to human messengers -- the bishops or presbyters of
the various churches. Here, however, I think it's fairly clear that a
non-human messenger is indicated.
