       Consider first that the angel relays to Daniel that what he’s about to tell him is important— for he said, “understand the words that I speak to you.” And surely that was the case, as is any special message from God. When God gives us a personal word in our lives, we want to be sure we are paying careful attention to what he is saying because this is to our advantage. God is helping us personally. The angel of the Lord also tells Daniel to stand up, another sign of the message’s importance for him. But I think part of this also is because we are not to worship angels as God’s servants. Though angels are holy, coming from Heaven, they are not to be worshipped because only God is to be worshipped. I’m sure coming to our minds is the passage from Revelation 19 where the Apostle John tried to worship the angel he was with. It would only be natural for a person to be afraid when seeing an angel, a supernatural being to us, since this is something of an extraordinary occurrence.
