       I’m sure we can all think of different passages where an angel brought a message to certain individuals, like in the Christmas story or even when the Apostle Paul was sailing at sea during that great storm in Acts 27. What is interesting, going to verse 11, is that before the angel tells him his message from God, he immediately encourages Daniel. He tells him, “O Daniel, man greatly loved.” That must have been a great comfort to Daniel, a great encouragement. Can you imagine an angel appearing to you and saying, “You are greatly loved by God.” We probably wouldn’t need much else said. In our day and age here some 2,500 years after this passage, and some 2,000 years after Christ ascended into Heaven, most of us generally don’t see angels around us. And most of us will probably never encounter an angel in our lifetime—at least, knowingly. We all have angels assisting us at various times in various ways, and we all likely have entertained angels unknowingly, as the writer of Hebrews has foretold us, but most of us don’t usually see an angel in his physical form.
