It is a messenger of an inscrutable divine omni-power, and it only ever carries one message: annihilation.
Angels carry at least two types of message: Annihilation and threats of annihilation if compliance with arbitrary demands is not immediate! Sometimes they are also scouts come to investigate whether said annihilation is necessary. Tip: if large flawlessly beautiful men walk up to your city don’t try to gang rape them. Offering your daughters up to the would-be rapists as a compromise is frowned upon but not penalized.

In one case, the message was “You’re pregnant”. Then, later, a whole chorus of angels gave a concert in celebration of that child’s birth.
Which is not to detract from your point! The very first thing those angels said, to Mary and the shepherds both, was “Fear not!”
This set of posts made my day.
It seems to be encouraged, not frowned upon. And offering your daughter and the wife of the intended (non-angelic) victim is super-righteous.
