From Encyclopedia Brittanica’s article, Angel and Demon,  The Western religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have all accepted the belief that there is, between God and mankind, a class of intermediary beings called angels.  The word angel comes from the Greek word angelos, meaning “messenger.”  Angels are considered to be bodiless minds or spirits who performs various services for God or for the people on God’s behalf.”
