In the biblical narrative, prophets serve as God's chosen messengers, tasked with delivering His divine word to the people. Throughout Scripture, there are instances where God communicates with His prophets through the agency of angels. These celestial beings act as intermediaries, conveying God's messages and instructions to His chosen servants. This method of communication underscores the sacred and supernatural nature of the prophetic office.

Abraham
While not traditionally classified as a prophet in the same sense as Isaiah or Jeremiah, Abraham is considered a prophet in Genesis 20:7. God communicated with him through angels on several occasions. In Genesis 18, three men, later revealed to be angels, visit Abraham to announce the birth of Isaac and to discuss the impending judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. This encounter highlights the role of angels in delivering divine messages and executing God's plans.

Moses
Moses, one of the most prominent prophets in the Old Testament, also experienced angelic communication. In Acts 7:30, Stephen recounts that an angel appeared to Moses in the burning bush, a pivotal moment in which God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. This angelic encounter marked the beginning of Moses' prophetic mission and demonstrated the divine authority behind his leadership.

Balaam
Balaam, though a complex figure, received communication from God through an angel. In Numbers 22, an angel of the Lord stands in Balaam's path as he travels to curse the Israelites. The angel's presence and message serve as a divine intervention, redirecting Balaam's actions and ultimately leading him to bless Israel instead.

Daniel
The prophet Daniel frequently received divine revelations through angelic messengers. In Daniel 8:16, the angel Gabriel is instructed to explain a vision to Daniel, providing him with understanding and insight into future events. Again, in Daniel 9:21-23, Gabriel appears to Daniel to deliver a message of encouragement and prophecy concerning the coming of the Anointed One.

Zechariah
Zechariah, a post-exilic prophet, experienced a series of visions communicated by an angel. In Zechariah 1:9, the prophet asks for clarification of a vision, and an angel provides the interpretation. Throughout the book, angels serve as guides and interpreters, helping Zechariah understand the symbolic imagery and the messages God intends for His people.

Joseph
In the New Testament, Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, receives divine guidance through angelic visitations. In Matthew 1:20, an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, instructing him to take Mary as his wife and revealing the divine nature of her pregnancy. This angelic communication ensures the protection and fulfillment of God's plan for the birth of the Messiah.

Mary
The annunciation to Mary is one of the most significant instances of angelic communication in the New Testament. In Luke 1:26-38, the angel Gabriel visits Mary to announce that she will conceive and bear the Son of God. This message not only confirms Mary's role in God's redemptive plan but also emphasizes the importance of angelic messengers in the unfolding of divine history.

John the Baptist's Father, Zechariah
Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, receives a message from the angel Gabriel in Luke 1:11-20. Gabriel announces the birth of John, who will prepare the way for the Lord. This encounter highlights the continuity of angelic communication from the Old Testament to the New Testament, as God continues to reveal His purposes through His messengers.

These instances of angelic communication with prophets and key biblical figures illustrate the profound and mysterious ways in which God interacts with humanity. Through angels, God delivers His messages, provides guidance, and ensures the fulfillment of His divine will, underscoring the sacred role of prophets as His chosen vessels.Daniel 8:15-26
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
