divine messengers

God's sent spirits

Divine messengers are beings who carry communications between gods and humans.

Angels, in religious traditions, serve as divine messengers—the word *angel* itself comes from a Greek word meaning messenger.

Prophets may also be called divine messengers when they speak on behalf of a deity: Muhammad is considered the final divine messenger in Islam.
