The word 'angel' is derived from the Hebrew and then Greek words for messenger, which tells us that the work of an angel is to be a messenger of God. This understanding of angels began in Judaism during and after the Babylonian Exile, parallelling a similar concept in the Zoroastrian religion of their Persian benefactors. A more recent view, held by Catholicism and some other Christians, is that individual angels may be guardian angels, assigned to help and protect every person on earth.
Our understanding of God has varied over the centuries and according to context, so at times God is absolutely omniscient and omnipotent and therefore has no possible need of messengers, or indeed of guardian angels. In this view, angels would not perform any function that God could not do easily himself, and therefore angels are more likely not even to exist unless there are some limits to God's power..
