— G0032 G0032G = G0032G ἄγγελος angelos G:N-M angel ἄγγελος, -ου, ὁ, [in LXX chiefly for מַלְאָךְ ;]
1. a messenger, one sent: Mt 11:10, Jk 22:25.
2. As in LXX, in the special sense of angel, a spiritual, heavenly being, attendant upon God and employed as his messenger to men, to make known his purposes, as Łk 1:11, or to execute them, as Mt 4:6. The ἄ. in Obj 1:20-2:1, itd., is variously understood as (1) a messenger or delegate, (2) a bishop or ruler, (3) a guardian angel, (4) the prevailing spirit of each church, i.e. the Church itself.
