            him  the  throne  of  his  father  David,  and  he  will
            reign  over  Jacob’s  descendants  forever;  his
            kingdom will never end.”
                    “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel,
            “since I am a virgin?”
                    The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will
            come on you, and the power of the Most High will
            overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will
                     [a]
            be  called   the  Son  of  God.  Even  Elizabeth  your
            relative is going to have a child in her old age, and
            she  who  was  said  to  be  unable  to  conceive  is in
            her sixth month. For no word from God will ever
            fail.”
                    “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered.
            “May  your  word  to  me  be  fulfilled”  -  Then  the
            angel left her.”
                    This   again   demonstrates    how     the
            appearances  of  the  angels  are  usually  brief  and
            formal.  -  They  are  to  improve  our  relationship
            with  the  Lord  rather  than  attracting  attention  to
            themselves.
                    As I have said previously, no angel of God
            will accept worship, and this is most important in
            discerning  true  and  false  angels  and  angel
            worship.  Revelation  22:  8-9  “I,  John,  am  the  one
            who heard and saw these things. And when I had
            heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the
            feet of the angel who had been showing them to
            me.  But  he  said  to  me,  “Don’t  do  that!  I  am  a
            fellow  servant  with  you,  with  your  fellow
                                                  178 | P a g e
