And the Lord appeared unto him from the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them from the tent door and he bowed himself to the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in Thy sight, pass not away, I pray Thee, from Thy servant: Let a little water, I pray you be fetched and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree and I will fetch Thee a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou has said. And Abraham hastened to the tent of Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly, three measures of meal, knead it, and make cakes on the hearth. And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to the young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood under the tree, and they did eat." Gen 18:1-10.

"And there came two angels unto Sodom at even: and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed to the ground; and he said, Behold now, my Lord's turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat." Gen 19:1-4.

"And the Angel of the Lord called from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham, and he said, Here am I. And He said, Lay not your hand upon the lad, neither do anything unto him: for now I know that thou fears God, thou hast not withheld thy son, thy only son from Me." Gen 22:11,12.

"The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land on my kindred, that swore unto me, saying, Unto thee will I give this land; he shall send His angel before thee, and thou shall take a wife unto My son from thence." (Abraham) Gen 24:7.

"The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." Gen 48:16. (Joseph)

"And behold, The Angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and He smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the Angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And He says unto him, Cast thy garments about thee, and follow Me. And he went out, and followed Him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the Angel; but thought he saw a vision." Acts 12:7-9.

"Behold I send an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon thy transgressions; for My name is in him. But if thou shall obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an Enemy to thy enemies, and an Adversary to thine adversaries. For Mine angel shall go before thee, and bring in the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I will cut them off." (Moses)Ex 23:20-23

Apparently herald got so caught up in heraldry that he forgot what was being heralded in the first place.

Angels are real.

I saw one once, for real, not just twisty cloud patterns or oddly shaped pieces of fruit. I saw one for real and it was an awesome thing to see.
At first I mistook it for the Lord Himself because it had the same 'flavor'.
I understand now how Biblical records of previous encounters initially confuse angels for God Himself. It's a very real and honest mistake.

Ever notice how real Christians have some kind of similar spiritual 'flavor'?
It's like that.

We are bretheren with the angels as we are brothers with one another and in Christ.

Hows that for an announcement?
