A messenger in the Bible was often an Angel. For example Angel Gabriel came to Mary to tell her she was going to have a baby. Another case is when an Angel came to tell Samson's mother that she would have a baby and she musn't cut his hair or let him drink wine/alcohol:)
Gabriel was the angel who came to Mary, mother of Jesus, and Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, to tell them that their sons were to be born and the significance of each birth. (See Luke 1 11-38.) Gabriel also appeared to Daniel in the Old Testament. Gabriel told Daniel the meaning of the vision relating to the last days of this world. (See Daniel 8 & 9.)

Gabriel visited Mary to tell her that she had been chosen to bear Jesus (Luke 1:26-38). The angel who announced the birth of Christ to the shepherds is not named (Luke2:8-15). Matthew's gospel doesn't name any of the angels involved in events surrounding Jesus' birth. Mark and John do not record these angelic visits.
