The Bible is a collection of short books recording the history of the world, the Jewish people, the life of Jesus, and the early Christian Church. Creationists hold a number of views regarding the Reliability of the Bible, ranging from strict inerrancy to substantive accuracy. However, all creationists agree that the Bible is history, not mythology or allegory, because the text itself is so obviously historical in style and content.
Angel (or Mal'ak in Hebrew) quite specifically means messenger of God. It is also considered somewhat of a general term within secular society for any spiritual being that exists outside of the normal boundaries that we call space and time. Within classic biblical Christian tradition these messengers of God, or angels were created by God during the creation week.
The will of angels is that in accordance with the Lord's which can be implied from Psalm 103:20 . Having said that, Gods will is the salvation of mankind thus communication. In most cases angels are used as messengers that help God communicate to people (good or bad). For example within the New Testament book of Luke 2:8-20 an angel foretells the coming of the Messiah. Also within Genesis 18 angels announce that Sarah will have a son, and the destruction of Sodom.
Isaac was the son of Abraham and Sarah, born when Sarah was supposedly beyond the age of childbearing. God had promised Abraham that his descendants would inherit the land of Canaan and be a blessing to all the world, yet Abraham had no son. Seeing that she was barren, his wife had him beget a son for her on her slavegirl (a legitimate practice of that time); that boy was Ishmael. However, God had determined to bring his promise about by means which were humanly impossible, so as to demonstrate that he was in full control. Isaac was born to Sarah when Abraham was 100 years old, and Ishmael was about 14.

2 Peter 3:3-6 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." 5But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
