Yes.
According to Matthew 1:18-25, when Joseph found out his bride-to-be was pregnant, he was stunned, because he knew the child could not be his.
But because he did not want to publicly disgrace Mary, he considered quietly ending their engagement.
However, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him not to be afraid to take Mary home with him to be his wife, because she was pregnant through the Holy Spirit. The angel went on to tell Joseph the baby's name was to be "Jesus," because He would save His people from their sins.
This was in fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy that the Messiah would be born to a virgin (Isaiah 7:14) and would also be called "Immanuel," which means "God with us," confirming the deity of Jesus.
To Joseph's eternal credit, he did exactly what the angel told him to do and took Mary home to live with him as his wife. However, out of his immense respect for what was happening, he did not consummate their marriage until after the baby was born.
When their miracle baby was born - in obedience to the angel's instructions - Joseph named him, "Jesus."
Who was the angel that appeared to Joseph? The Bible doesn't say. However, it may have been the angel Gabriel, who appeared to Mary (Luke 1:26-27) and six months earlier to her relative Elizabeth's husband Zechariah, to announce the impending late-life birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:8-24).

As you may already know, Abraham and his wife Sarah, were both really old when they had Isaac. As a test, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. If he had enough faith in God, he wouldn't have to worry about what happened to his son. Abraham took his son up to the altar and Isaac asked what they were offering. Abraham said, "The LORD will provide the offering." Abraham tied his son to the altar and prepared to kill him when an angel of the LORD appeared to him. He told Abraham to let his son go, he had showed his faith in God. Abraham had passed the test.
