There are many stories where angels have appeared as human and have pretended to eat in order to make us feel more comfortable, but they live on ‘the love of god’ and food as we know and understand it is not required for sustenance. There are references to angels and food however. Jesus was brought food and water by a helpful angel when he spent his forty days in the wilderness.

‘Manna’ is said to be the food of the angels – food given as a gift from the angels. Mann is a Hebrew word and translates as ‘what is this?’ The Israelites (during the Exodus) thought that they might starve to death, but God promised them food: ‘…there in the wilderness, fine flakes appeared, fine as hoar-frost on the ground. When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” because they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “That is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat…”’ (Exodus 16:13-15).

Metatron is the angel in charge of human sustenance.
