Not being a theologian and familiar with certain terminology, you may want to put that in layman’s terms but pray first.

Sorry, I forgot to include the credit as a direct copy of the reference to the word "angel" taken from the eSword text of Vincent's Word Studies, a common reference work for Bible students. There may be terms in this treatment by Vincent whose definitions may be found in a dictionary or by searching for their definitions online.

Perhaps you could tell me what I ought to pray about when posting a direct abstract from a reference work that will make it clearer or more appropriate.

The object here was to show that the Bible selection was probably not a reference to a Christophany, a visible image of the person of Christ, since it was about Jesus asking that the messages be written to the angel of the particular church, which would not be a message to Himself, would it?
