God has commissioned His angels to guide events for the benefit of the elect. For example, when Abraham was seeking a wife for his son Isaac, he told his servant that God would send His angel to guide and prosper the servant's way, leading to the successful union with Rebecca. God has also commissioned His angels to provide for us, especially in times of need. An angel provided food and water to Elijah while he was escaping into the wilderness, sustaining him for his journey. Furthermore, God has commissioned His angels to protect us. This protection is not automatic but is given to those who are loyal and obedient to God. Psalm 91 indicates that God's angels will bear us up in their hands, preventing harm and ensuring our safety. Daniel's experience in the lions' den shows that God sends His angels to protect those who are innocent and respectful of authority. God has commissioned His angels to deliver us from danger. The example of Peter's miraculous release from prison by an angel demonstrates this function. Despite being heavily guarded, an angel led Peter out of prison, illustrating the angels' role in rescuing God's people. Additionally, God has commissioned His angels to comfort us. In the case of Paul during a storm at sea, an angel reassured him, providing comfort and guidance. Lastly, God has commissioned His angels for a future gathering of the elect at Christ's return, as mentioned in Matthew 24:29-31. This gathering will be a significant event facilitated by the holy angels under God's direction.

Angelic intervention plays a significant role in the narrative. The archangel Gabriel is sent to Daniel to impart skill and understanding, as mentioned in Daniel 9:22-23. Gabriel's arrival is delayed by a struggle with the prince of the Persian kingdom, a powerful evil spirit, for three weeks. This conflict is resolved with the help of Michael, another archangel, who is identified as Israel's prince and protector. This intervention by Michael allows Gabriel to finally reach Daniel and deliver God's message. The angelic beings are depicted as powerful entities involved in spiritual warfare, protecting God's people and ensuring the delivery of divine messages despite opposition from evil forces.
