Whenever an angel appears in Scripture, it signifies a significant episode in salvation history. The first angels to appear in Scripture are the seraphim who guarded the Garden of Eden.
Angels appeared with the pre-incarnate God to Abraham to announce the birth of Isaac. Angels appeared to Isaiah at the beginning of his ministry. Angels announce to Zechariah (husband of Elizabeth), and to Mary of their life-altering pregnancies. An angel appears to Joseph in dreams to convince him to remain with Mary and later to escape to Egypt when Herod ordered the execution of first born babies. Angels appear at the Resurrection and also at the Ascension. These rare occurrences were given the angels to proclaim God's love and mercy.
And these angels give glory to God, the one who sits "in the highest". No Caesar can usurp this God. Everything which Luke records previously about Jesus birth, and the government decree it took to get Jesus to be born in Bethlehem, were because the God in the highest ordered His creation and controls world events.

Pope Benedict XVI has announced a special jubilee dedicated to St. Paul the Apostle. The Pauline Year, which runs from June 29, 2008, to June 29, 2009, will be celebrated with liturgies, symposiums, and special publications devoted to the life and writings of Paul.
As for You, Young Man of God
As for you, man of God . . . pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith . . . I charge you to keep the commandment without spot or blame until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, which he will bring about at the right time— he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords. It is he alone who has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see; to him be honour and eternal dominion. Amen.
-1 Timothy 6:11-12, 13-16
