divine messenger

God's sent herald

A divine messenger is a being who carries communications between gods and mortals—angels in Christian tradition, Hermes in Greek mythology, or similar figures across religions.

The term can describe anyone believed to speak on behalf of the divine: prophets, saints, or spiritual intermediaries.

Gabriel appeared as a divine messenger to announce the birth.
