Yes, God uses his faithful angels to help people today. Angels are used by God as he directs his servants in the preaching of the good news of the Kingdom of God. (Revelation 14: 6, 7) This direction benefits both those preaching and those hearing the good news. —Acts 8: 26, 27.

In both cases, the word is singular, suggesting that only one angel bears that title. One of those verses states that the resurrected Lord Jesus “will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice.” (1 Thessalonians 4: 16) Jesus has “an archangel’s voice” because he is the archangel, Michael.

The archangel, Michael, is the chief angel in terms of power and authority. The Scriptures clearly indicate that Michael is another name for Jesus Christ. — 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Jude 9 . Seraphs rank very high among the angels in privileges and honor, and …

A single angel killed 185,000 of the Assyrian army. —Ps 103:20; Ge 19:13, 24; 2Ki 19:35. Angels too can travel at tremendous speeds, far exceeding the limits of the physical world. Thus when Daniel was praying, God dispatched an angel to answer his prayer; and the angel arrived within moments, even before the prayer was concluded. —Da 9:20-23.

In a dream, God’s angel told him that Mary’s pregnancy was indeed miraculous. That must have been a relief! Joseph now did what Mary had done from the start —he acted in harmony with Jehovah’s leading. He took Mary as his wife, and he prepared to take on the unique responsibility of caring for Jehovah’s Son. —Matt. 1:20-24. 20, 21.

God sent an angel to bless Abraham and prevent him from sacrificing his son Isaac. ( Genesis 22:11-18 ) An angel appeared to Moses in the midst of a burning bush to deliver a life-changing message. ( Exodus 3:1, 2 ) When the prophet Daniel was thrown into a pit of lions, “God sent his angel and shut the mouth of the lions.”

Mary is about to get married to a man named Joseph. But when Joseph learns that Mary is going to have a baby, he doesn’t think he should marry her. Then God’s angel says to him: ‘Don’t be afraid to take Mary to be your wife. For it is God who has given her a son.’ So Mary and Joseph get married, and they wait for Jesus to be born.

How have angels helped God’s servants in the past? 5 Jehovah sent two angels to help Lot and his family escape the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Genesis 19:15, 16) Hundreds of years later, the prophet Daniel was thrown into a lions’ pit, but he was not harmed, because “God sent his angel and shut the mouth of the lions.”

As the God who is “great in power,” Jehovah uses his holy spirit to give us “power beyond what is normal.” This strengthens us to cope with whatever severe and painful trials we may face. —Nah. 1:3; 2 Cor. 4:7; Ps. 46:1. 11 Love. As the God “abundant in loyal love,” Jehovah never abandons his faithful worshippers.

Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, is taking the cities of Judah. To protect King Hezekiah and Jerusalem, Jehovah’s angel kills 185,000 soldiers in one night.
