"Thy angels bring release"

Is it outdated to talk about angels in a world of computers and high-speed communications? Or are God's messages more relevant than ever?

Barbara Blech Dunbar

In the world today people are seeking release from many things—financial pressures, mental and physical illnesses, fears, doubts, discordant human relationships, and so on. These troubles are not unique to our age. Throughout the Bible there are instances of people of that era needing release—and finding it through the comfort and guidance of angels.

Moses, Jacob, Elijah and other prophets, and other holy men and women all felt the presence of these angels, bringing them messages of confidence instead of inadequacy; of love for one's fellowman instead of hate and fear; of faith in God instead of shadows of doubt; and of physical healings instead of suffering.

Christ Jesus, the highest representative of God on earth, and many of his followers, also felt the presence of angels and heard their comforting messages—messages that equipped them with strength to go forward.
