Angels and Angel of The LordWilliam J.D. Shaw updated: July 26, 2020This document is directed at an understanding of what the Bible tells us regarding angelsand in particular “The Angel of The Lord”. It uses the 1611 KJV version in searches as it includesthe Apocrypha, in addition the book of Enoch, Jasher, Baruch2, Bel & Dragon, Jubilees, Susanna,Song of three children, Additions to Ester, and Epistle of Jeremiah are also is also examined.Scripture presented is from the KJV except for the Apocrypha.1. DefinitionsThe word angel is defined as Strong’s numbers H4397 and G32.H4397 – malak, a messenger of God, a teacher, a prophet, a priest, an ambassador, a king. Rootmeaning is to dispatch.G32 – aggelos, a messenger, to bring tidingsIn God’s use of the term it is a messenger sent with a purpose given authority by God tocarry out some task.The next word is messenger, is also G32, it has various meanings and can be the same asangel sent from God or even from Satan, but it can also refer to a man appointed as a prophet tospeak God’s words. It also means a regular person delivering a message to others at times. Oneneeds to look carefully at the context in order to understand the use of the word.2. CherubimThe next word is Cherib, it is H3742 – kerub, an imaginary figure. However this word needsfurther investigation using scripture. First it was a figure placed upon the two ends of the Ark of theCovenant that Moses had made with instructions from God.We find that Bezaleel, from the tribe of Judah, was filled with the spirit of God for being ableto construct the Tabernacle and all accessories including the Ark of the Covenant.Exo 31:2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe ofJudah:Exo 31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding,and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,1
We have a description of the two Cherubims on the two ends of the mercy seat. Their wingswere spread out and their faces were towards each other over the mercy seat.Exo 37:7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on thetwo ends of the mercy seat;Exo 37:8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side:out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.Exo 37:9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings overthe mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of thecherubims.The information for the construction of these Cherubims came to Bezaleel directly fromGod. This then is a reflection of the Ark in Heaven and the mercy seat.Going into revelations we obtain further information first on some special type ofCherubims.Rev 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of thethrone, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.Rev 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beasthad a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyeswithin: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was,and is, and is to come.Rev 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne,who liveth for ever and ever,Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in themidst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, whichare the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earthRev 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and thebeasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, andthousands of thousands;Rev 5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down andworshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.It appears that the four Beasts that are around the throne in heaven are infact very specialtypes of Cherubims, having six wings. One is like a lion, one is like a calf, one is like a face of aman and the last like a flying eagle. All have eyes in front and behind. They speak and say Holy,Holy, Holy and do not rest day or night. These Beasts are likely personal guards of God, and arealways with Him.2
Examining Ezekiel we obtain further information on Cherubims, although at first they arereferred to as four living creatures. The following is when Ezekiel was by the river Chebar.Eze 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fireinfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour ofamber, out of the midst of the fire.Eze 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this wastheir appearance; they had the likeness of a man.Eze 1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.Eze 1:7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf'sfoot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.Eze 1:8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; andthey four had their faces and their wings.Eze 1:9 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they wentevery one straight forward.Eze 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of alion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also hadthe face of an eagle.Eze 1:11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every onewere joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.Eze 1:12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; andthey turned not when they went.Eze 1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals offire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures;and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.Eze 1:14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.Eze 1:15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the livingcreatures, with his four faces.Eze 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: andthey four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in themiddle of a wheel.Eze 1:17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.Eze 1:18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings werefull of eyes round about them four.Eze 1:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the livingcreatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.Eze 1:20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and thewheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.Eze 1:21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those werelifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the livingcreature was in the wheels.Eze 1:22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as thecolour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.Eze 1:23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: everyone had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side,3
their bodies.Eze 1:24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of greatwaters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when theystood, they let down their wings.Eze 1:25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood,and had let down their wings.Eze 1:26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, asthe appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as theappearance of a man above upon it.Eze 1:27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, fromthe appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, Isaw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.Eze 1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was theappearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the gloryof the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.Each had four faces and four wings, they had straight feet and soles like a calf whichsparkled like polished brass. They had hands of a man on four sides under their wings. They eachhad the face of a man and a lion and the face of an ox and an eagle. They were electrifying withlights like rings of fire going up and down them and lightning flashing. They had wheels withinwheels possibly describing a gyroscope. Their wings sounded like the noise of a water fall. Abovethem was a throne and a man was on it. The rims of the wheels were high and full of eyes. It isdifficult to obtain a full picture of what is described. Following on there is more description andthese living creatures are now called Cherubims.Eze 10:1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of thecherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of thelikeness of a throne.Eze 10:2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels,even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, andscatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.Eze 10:3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; andthe cloud filled the inner court.Eze 10:4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold ofthe house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of theLORD'S glory.Eze 10:5 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voiceof the Almighty God when he speaketh.Eze 10:6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying,Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stoodbeside the wheels.Eze 10:7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the firethat was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that wasclothed with linen: who took it, and went out.Eze 10:8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.Eze 10:9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by onecherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the4
colour of a beryl stone.Eze 10:10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in themidst of a wheel.Eze 10:11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but tothe place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.Eze 10:12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and thewheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.Eze 10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.Eze 10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and thesecond face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the faceof an eagle.Eze 10:15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river ofChebar.Eze 10:16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubimslifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from besidethem.Eze 10:17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted upthemselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.Eze 10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stoodover the cherubims.Eze 10:19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight:when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of theeast gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.Eze 10:20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar;and I knew that they were the cherubims.Eze 10:21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of thehands of a man was under their wings.Eze 10:22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river ofChebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.Previously, these were called living creatures now they are called Cherubims. We are toldthat these Cherubims had hands of man under their wings. Each had four faces, one was the faceof a cherub, one was a face of man, one was the face of a lion and the fourth was the face of aneagle. By deduction from above the fourth face of a Cherub is either that of a calf or an ox. Itappears that Cherubims have a function to do with transportation as well as protection. These arenot messengers or angels, they are another class of beings that were created by the Father forspecific purposes. Most likely for protection, being why they spanned across the arc of theCovenant and they could see in all directions at once. The faces being Ox, man, lion and eagle areall predatory beings. This suggests strength in fighting.Other scriptures as follows tell us that God sits between Cherubims.Psa 99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let theearth be moved.5
Isa 37:16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art theGod, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.Further king Solomon decorated the temple that he built with Cherubims.1Ki 6:23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.1Ki 6:24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of thecherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were tencubits.1Ki 6:27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings ofthe cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the othercherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the houseThe measure of 10 cubits is 14.6 feet, the size of the inner house was 20 cupits wide or 29.2 feetand 14.6 feet high.3. Names of AngelsA few specific angels have names that we are told. The first is Gabriel,Dan 8:16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel,make this man to understand the vision.Gabriel, H1403 – man of God, an archangelLuk 1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man,and my wife well stricken in years.Luk 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence ofGod; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.Luk 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee,named Nazareth,Luk 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and thevirgin's name was Mary.Dan 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst setthine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and Iam come for thy words.6
Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo,Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings ofPersia.Michael, H4317 – who is like God, an archangelDan 10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return tofight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.Dan 10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is nonethat holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your princeDan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for thechildren of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was anation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shallbe found written in the book.Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlastinglife, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.Scripture does not identify the angel that came to Daniel, but we are told Michael came to help thisangel fight with him, most likely against Satan. This logically identifies this angel talking withDaniel as an archangel most likely being a key messenger to men, who is Gabriel.Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about thebody of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.Archangel, G743 – chief angelRev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon;and the dragon fought and his angels,Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, whichdeceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.Rev 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and theirpower was to hurt men five months.Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whosename in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.Abaddon, G3 – a destroying angelIsa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cutdown to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!7
Lucifer, H1966 – morning star, sense of brightnessThe above scripture is the only one in the entire Bible that mentions Lucifer, but is referred tofurther in 2Cor 11:14 below.The Mormons have an angel of prominence that they call Moronia that is an angel of light. This canbe seen on the top of the Mormon temple. This sounds a lot like Lucifer.In 2014, April 27 in Saint Peters Square, Pope Francis declared to the entire world that Lucifer isthe God of the Catholic Church.2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into theapostles of Christ.2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers ofrighteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.Satan, H7854 – an opponent, arch enemy of goodG4567 – the accuser, the DevilJob 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before theLORD, and Satan came also among them.Luk 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast outwith him.Devil, G1228 – false accuser, slanderer, specifically SatanFrom Enoch, which is a questionable book that we have obtained in today’s time, we aregiven information on angels that keep watch. The first is Uriel is a holy angel of the Spirits of men.Next is Raguel who is an angel of vengeance for the world and also for vengeance on the lights.Third is Michael is in charge of the best of mankind and in charge of the nation, likely Israel. Thefourth is Saraqael in charge of spirits of men who cause the spirits to sin. Then Gabriel in charge ofSerpents, the Garden and the Cherubim. These would most likely be archangels that head legionsof angels under them. However we are told of the war in heaven and 1/3 of the angels weredefeated and thrown out, Rev 12:4 and Rev 12:9. Thus there were three main archangels, Michael,Gabriel and Lucifer. So these other angels from Enoch might not be correct and definitely do not fitas archangels. Also it appears that the Cherubims are directly under The Fathers control. Later inthis study we are told from the Holy bible that the names of angels are secret, with the exceptionsof Gabriel, Michael and Lucifer. Therefore it is best to discount the book of Enoch.It would appear that the angels under each archangel are programmed to follow theinstructions of their leading archangel. This is similar to legions in armies, they take directions onlyfrom their chief commander or army General. This would explain why at the mid point of the8
Tribulation, Satan and his angels fight against Michael and his angels and likely Gabriel and hisangels also pitch in to help Michael.Since from what we are told there are only three archangels, thus other angels like the onein charge of the bottomless pit, Abaddon, likely belong to either Gabriel or Michael. Others we aretold of are the angels to the seven churches, again are likely under Gabriel.The following verse as it is written tells us that the Lord Himself will pass through Egypt onthe night of the last plague. Since the person dealing with Moses is Yeshua, the Lord referred to isYeshua. Know from the book of John that no one has seen or heard the Father.Exo 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth theblood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will notsuffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.This verse also refers to the destroyer. Since Yeshua was the one that gave life, He is theone that can also take life. The destruction of the Israelites at mount Sinai when Yeshua wasangered at Korah and others then sent forth a plague in order to destroy them is another example,Num 16:46 .4. Angels of the LordIn the New Testament there are 10 verses that have the term “angel of the Lord”. In theOld Testament there are 52 verses. First a summary of the New Testament verses will be made.Mat 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared untohim in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: forthat which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.The above scripture is the first time the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph. The secondtime the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph was to warn him that Herod was seeking to destroythe young child Yeshua, and to flee to Egypt. The third time was when Herod died, Joseph was toldto return to Israel. At these times the angel appeared in a dream.Other events have to do with the rolling of the stone from the door of Yeshua’s burial tomb.Next Zachariah was told that he would have a son. Next the shepherds were told by them ofYeshua’s birth in Bethlehem. The apostles when placed in prison the angel of the Lord opened theprison doors for them and led them out. Stephen’s speech recounted the angel of the Lord in theflaming bush that Moses saw. Next it was the angel of the Lord that directed Philip to find theEthiopian Eunuch. It was the spirit of the Lord that caught Philip and took him away after baptizingthe Eunuch. When Peter was sleeping between two soldiers in prison, the angel of the Lord wokePeter and had the chains fall off of him and led Peter out of the prison. The last act told to us inthe New Testament is when Herod was being praised by the people saying that it is the voice of agod and not of a man, at that point the angel of the Lord smote Herod and he was eaten by wormsand died.9
As a result of the large number of occurrences in the Old Testament only some keyoccurrences will be addressed. Sarai, Abraham, and Moses all experienced the angel of the Lord inmessages to them. Balaam and his donkey were blocked by the angel of the Lord. In Bochim theangel of the Lord spoke to all the children of Israel chastising them for not driving all theinhabitants out of the land they were to posses. In a Song of Deborah she sings about the angel ofthe Lord in helping them in victory. The angel of the Lord came to Gideon and was directed ingoing forward for the Lord. Gideon continued to receive instruction that came from the Lord. Inthis case it was likely the angel of the Lord, giving directions to assemble only 300 men and that hewould be given victory. Consider the verses of Gideon below.Jdg 6:11 And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, thatpertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, tohide it from the Midianites.Jdg 6:12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is withthee, thou mighty man of valour.Jdg 6:13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all thisbefallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORDbring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands ofthe Midianites.Jdg 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt saveIsrael from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?Jdg 7:7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you,and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto hisplace.Therefore the messengers or angles of the Lord took messages to specific people eitherdirectly speaking to them or indirectly in dreams. So the context of the added word “Lord” can alsorefer to an angel delivering a message in one form or another. It does not always need to be givento us as “angel of the Lord”. A message can be delivered by the term an angel or by the term anangel of the Lord, these terms being interchangeable. The angels always deliver or speak the Lord’smessage.Continuing, the mother of Samson had an angel of the Lord appear to her informing her ofa son she would conceive and the rules for his upbringing. The husband, Manoah had an interestinginteraction with the angel and scripture gives us some insight as to why the angels name is notused.Jdg 13:16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will noteat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. ForManoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.Jdg 13:17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thysayings come to pass we may do thee honour?Jdg 13:18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name,10
seeing it is secret?So we learn that the names of the angels of the Lord generally were to remain secret. Wedo not know if there was one or a number of different angels delivering messages or carrying outcommandments for the Lord.2Sa 24:16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORDrepented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay nowthine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.2Sa 24:17 And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, andsaid, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? letthine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.In this case the angel of the Lord is in the capacity as a destroyer and David saw him.When Elijah was fleeing from Jezebel. First an angel came and touched him told him to riseand eat, then again it came back a second time, but now described as an angel of the Lord.1Ki 19:5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, andsaid unto him, Arise and eat.1Ki 19:6 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of waterat his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.1Ki 19:7 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said,Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.The angel of the Lord on various occasions spoke to Elijah and directed him to be amessenger for God. A typical scripture follows.2Ki 1:3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet themessengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God inIsrael, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?At times an angle of the Lord was sent out to protect Jerusalem according to the following.2Ki 19:34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David'ssake.2Ki 19:35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote inthe camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early inthe morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.The census taken by King David displeased God and He gave David a choice conveyed tohim by Gad. As one of the choices the Lord would send the angel of the Lord out to destroythroughout the coasts of Israel.1Ch 21:11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee11
1Ch 21:12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while thatthe sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even thepestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout a
