God used Angels as messengers.
G

od used His Angel Gabriel to announce the news to Zechariah of
Elizabeth’s miraculous pregnancy in her old age. God sent the Angel Gabriel

to the Virgin Mary to announce that God has greatly blessed her and she will
become pregnant and give birth to a son and she will name him Jesus.

Mary and Joseph were promised in marriage to each other.
They did not have relations so Joseph did not know what to

think of Mary’s pregnancy. In his heart he knew

she was good and pure. Then an Angel of
The Lord appeared in a dream to

Joseph informing him of God’s

plan and directing him to marry
her. After Jesus was born an

Angel of the Lord instructed
Joseph to escape to Egypt

because King Harold wanted

to kill the Holy Child. After

King Harold’s death an Angel
of The Lord appeared again in
a dream to Joseph and instructed

him to return home to the

land of Israel.

Then, there were a

multitude of Angels that
appeared to the Shepherds

in the fields to announce the

birth of Christ the King.
