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)

  • Two additional angels join Gavri'el and Daniel (Dan 12:5-7)

  • Angels apear to Z'kharyah in a vision (Zech 2:1-4)

  • Isaiah’s call and commission (Isa 6:1-8)

  • The “living creatures” appear to Ezekiel (Ezek 1:5-22; 3:13; 10:15-20)

  • Gabriel appears to Z'kharyah in the Temple (Luke 1:5-25

  • Gavri'el appears to Miryam (Luke 1:26-38)

  • An angel appears to Yosef in a dream (Matt. 1:18-25)

  • Angels appear to the shepherds (Luke 2:9-14)

  • An angel sends Yosef and his family to Egypt (Matt 2:13-15)

  • An angel calls Yosef and his family back to Eretz-Yisra'el (Matt 2:19-21)

  • Angels ministered to Yeshua after His temptation (Matt. 4:11)

  • An angel gave Yeshua strength in Gethsemane (Luke 22:43)

  • An angel rolled away the stone from Yeshua’s tomb (Matt. 28:2-5)

  • The angel who removed the stone from Yeshua’s tomb appears to Miryam of Magdala, Miryam the mother of Ya`akov, and Shlomit (Mark 16:5-7; John 20:10-12)

  • Two angels appeared to the Talmidim at Yeshua’s His ascension (Acts 1:10-11)

  • An angel released Kefa and Yochanan from prison (Acts 5:19)

  • An angel appeared to Philip (Acts 8:26)

  • Cornelius saw an angel in a vision (Acts 10:3,30-32)

  • An angel released Kefa from prison (Acts 12:7-11)

  • 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.
