It just seems to me the word that has become common in use because of translation as “angels” if it were written “messenger” much of what we speak about “angels” would be understood differently or at least not something with wings. I’m just asking  and I thank you Alex for your response.

I agree with that.  One sees the word 'angels' and can't help but envision whatever mental 'version' of 'angels' one saw in a movie, or on a greeting card, etc. or heard about in Sunday School.  The word itself has a meaning--messenger--and if we start from there, we'd be doing good, I think.
