This belief in
guardian angels can be traced throughout all antiquity; It was also
the belief of the Babylonians and Assyrians, as their monuments testify,
for a figure of a guardian angel now in the British Museum once decorated
an Assyrian palace, and might well serve for a modern representation;
while Nabopolassar, father of Nebuchadnezzar the Great, says: "He
(Marduk) sent a tutelary deity (cherub) of grace to go at my side;
in everything that I did, he made my work to succeed."
In the Bible this doctrine is clearly discernible and its development
is well marked. In Genesis 28-29, angels not only act as the executors
of God's wrath against the cities of the plain, but they deliver Lot
from danger; in Exodus 12-13, an angel is the appointed leader of
the host of Israel, and in 32:34, God says to Moses: "my angel
shall go before thee." At a much later period we have the story
of Tobias, which might serve for a commentary on the words of Psalm
90:11: "For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep
thee in all thy ways." (Cf. Psalm 33:8 and 34:5) Lastly, in Daniel
10 angels are entrusted with the care of particular districts; one
is called "prince of the kingdom of the Persians", and Michael
is termed "one of the chief princes"; cf. Deuteronomy 32:8
(Septuagint); and Ecclesiasticus 17:17 (Septuagint).
This sums up the Old Testament doctrine on the point; it is clear
that the Old Testament conceived of God's angels as His ministers
who carried out his behests, and who were at times given special commissions,
regarding men and mundane affairs. There is no special teaching; the
doctrine is rather taken for granted than expressly laid down; cf.
II Machabees 3:25; 10:29; 11:6; 15:23.
