Is it possible that the ἀγγέλων are the prophets? Could "the Lord" be YHVH, and the author is saying the message of the Scriptures is now confirmed? Concerning v. 4, most translations say something along the lines of: >God **also** bearing [them] witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? However, when the author says τε καὶ, it always means "both and", but the translators put καὶ after God and τε as the only conjunction between "signs" and "wonders". So is God the one bearing witness, or are the signs and wonders (or something else) bearing witness **of God** (especially since τοῦ Θεοῦ is genitive)?
