A List of Angelic Appearances
If we read casually through the Scriptures we might be inclined to think that the appearance of angelic messengers was a relatively common event. We must remember, however, that the Scriptures span a period of about four thousand years and in four millennia we have recorded only about 27 separate appearances of angels.
• To Avraham at Mamre, with ADONAI (Gen 18:1-22)
• To Ya'akov in a dream (Gen 28:10-16)
• To Daniel in the lions’ den (Dan 6:22)
• Gavri'el interpret’s Daniel’s vision (Dan 8:15-19)
• Gavri'el tells Daniel of the Seventy Weeks (Dan 9:20-30)
• Gavri'el Tells Daniel of Israel’s future (Dan 10:12-14)

• An angel appeare to Sha'ul on the the ship bound for Rome (Acts 27:23)
• Numerous angels appear to Jochanon in his vision on Patmos (this was one long vision and should be counted as one angelic appearance) (Rev. 1:1; Rev. 5:2; Rev. 7:11; Rev. 10:8-9; Rev. 17:7; Rev. 19:9-10; Rev. 22:8)
Appearances of The Angel of ADONAI
Appearances of The Angel of ADONAI are appearances not of angels, but of ADONAI Himself, so they are not counted here as “angelic” appearances.
