(Gen. 16:7, 9, 11; 22:11, 15; Ex. 3:2; Num. 22:22–27, 31–32, 34–35; Judg. 2:1, 4; 5:23; 6:11–12, 21–22; 13:3, 13, 15–17, 20–21; 2 Sam. 24:16; 1 Kings 19:7; 2 Kings 1:3, 15; 19:35; 1 Chr. 21:12, 15–16, 18, 30; Psa. 34:7; 35:5–6; Is. 37:36; Zech. 1:11–12; 3:1, 5–6; 12:8; Matt. 1:20, 24; 2:13, 19; 28:2; Luke 1:11; 2:9; Acts 5:19; 8:26; 12:7, 23)

In the New Testament, specifically around the birth of Jesus, the grand event of heaven coming to earth is accented by the marvelous presence of the Angel of the Lord.  Here are the references.  Rejoice with the angels as you reflect on God's glorious entrance to earth!  

Matt. 1:20       But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Matt. 1:24       When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
Matt. 2:13       When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
Matt. 2:19       After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

Luke 1:11       Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Luke 2:9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Praise God!
