Facts about Angels The word “Angel” comes from the Greek word “aggelos”, meaning messenger. There are many different kinds of Angels. Some examples are Jewish, Christian, Judaic and Islamic Angels. Daniel is said to be the first biblical figure to refer to individual angels by his or her name. Certain angels came to take on a particular significance and developed unique personalities. These archangels were believed to have a higher rank amongst the other angels.

Team Conclusions Yingxin Even after all that research, I am still unsure whether I believe in Angels. I am only going to be fully convinced if I see it for myself. Isabella I am still unsure. I think it could be argued either way. I think if I really wanted to know in detail, it would mean a lot more research.
