	Certain prophets are called "gods" and "angels" in the Bible. In the book of Exodus, the LORD says to Moses ''I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.'' (Exodus 7:1) The Hebrew word Mal'ak (angel) can be interpreted as either a prophetic or priestly messenger (Isaiah 42:19, Haggai 1:13, Malachi 2:7), or simply as a messenger (I Samuel 25:42) or ambassador (Isaiah 30:4).

			In Revelation 22:9, the Disciple John fell at the feet of an Angel to worship him, but the angel said "do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets". William Branham said this proves that the Angel was a prophet, but this only works in the KJV, as other translations say:

			*NCV: I am a servant like you, your brothers the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book:
			*NLT: No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book.
			*Amplified: I am [only] a fellow servant along with yourself and with your brethren the prophets and with those who are mindful of and practice [the truths contained in] the messages of this book.
			*ESV: I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book.

 Strangely, the word Seraphim also means "fiery serpent".  This word is used for the serpents that afflicted the Children of Israel when they complained about what God had done for them, and the brass serpent that was set upon a pole for their healing.  Isaiah also prophecied, ''Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.''
