David the angel
David is called an “angel of God”
four times in 1st and 2nd Samuel (see 1 Sam. 29:9; 2 Sam.
14:17, 20, 19:27). That’s
interesting because there are four angelic cherubims before God’s throne (see
Ezek. 1:5; Rev. 4:6-7). And there are
four Gospels (St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, and St. John) that tell about
the earthly life of Jesus Christ the son of David (see Matt. 1:1; 2 Tim. 2:8;
Rev. 5:5). And Jesus is also called an
“angel of God” by Apostle Paul (see Acts 27:23; Gal. 4:14). See also Gen. 48:16 and Is. 63:9.
