Angels carry out God's judgment." (2 Samuel 24:16-17.) " But as the death angel was preparing to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented and aid to the angel, stop! That's enough! At that moment, the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite." Verse seventeen says, “When David saw the angel, he said to the Lord, "I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! And these people are innocent- what have they done? Let your anger fall against me and my family."(NLT)
