The angel of God and the pillar of cloud came between the Israelites and the Egyptians.
The Israelites were descendants of Jacob. God gave him the name Israel which meant 'Perseverer with God', when he was about 97 years old, after wrestling an angel! They were part of the Jewish religion.
They believe that God promised to protect Abraham and his people.
The Israelites are considered to be God's chosen people because according to the Bible, God made a covenant with them through their ancestor Abraham. This covenant promised that they would be a special people to God, and that God would bless them and protect them. The Israelites were chosen to be a light to the nations and to bring about God's plan for salvation.
The Hebrew people referred to the angel of God saving their firstborn as the Passover, where God passed over the houses of the Israelites marked with lamb's blood, sparing their firstborn from the final plague in Egypt.
Passover - a feast to this day.
When the Angel of the Lord first appeared to Gideon, he was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites. This action was meant to protect the grain from being taken by the enemy, highlighting the fear and oppression the Israelites were experiencing at the time. The encounter marked the beginning of Gideon's transformation into a leader chosen by God to deliver Israel from their oppressors.

Catholic AnswerAssuming you are asking about your Guardian Angel - this is the angel whom God has assigned to you since the instant you were conceived in your mother's womb. He is to guard, protect, and guide you until you stand before the face of God at the particular judgment. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Guardian Angel. A celestial spirit assigned by God to watch over each individual during life. This general doctrine of an angel's care for each person is part of the Church's constant tradition, based on Sacred Scripture and the teaching of the Fathers of the Church. The role of the guardian spirit is both to guide and to guard; to guide as a messenger of God's will to our minds, and to guard as an instrument of God's goodness in protecting us from evil. This protection from physical evil insofar as this is useful or necessary to guard the soul from spiritual harm. A feast honoring the guardian angels has been celebrated in October, throughout the universal Church, since the seventeenth century. It now occurs on October 2.
