| WHY GOD CREATED: ANGELS |
· CITIZENS OF HEAVEN
Angels are biblical character that the bible says they come
from heaven. They were the citizens of the heaven. They were there to serve God
and to communicate to humankind as a messenger of God.
Psalm_104:4
Who
make his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Luke
2:13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and
saying, Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Acts_10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a
just man, and one that fear God, and of good report among all the nation of the
Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel
to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
·
THEIR PRIMARY DUTIES
The primary duties of angels before were to assist the
humankind in doing things that God was intended for human. But since an event
happened before the earth was totally complete, and some of the angels were not
doing their duties and they sinned well, the fraction of the angels that was
left
were given additional task aside from their primary duties, which is now
to protect humankind to bad angels or demons.
Jude 1:6
And the angels which
kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath
reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great
day.
Another duty was to serve our Lord Jesus. The time Jesus was
a babe here on earth until, the time He was tempted in the wilderness by Satan.
On Jesus Birth
Luke
2:13
And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Tempted by
Satan
Matthew
4:11
Then said Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy
God, and him only shall thou serve.
Then the devil leave him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto
him.
When Jesus
was to be captured with the Roman Soldiers
Matthew_26:53
Think thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
·
WHERE DO ANGELS LIVE?
Angels were citizens of heaven wherein the Kingdom of God
situated. But due to the fact that some of them rebelled against the will of
God, the rebellious angels are still permitted in coming to and fro from heaven
and earth as well as the universe.
John_1:51
And he said
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, hereafter ye
shall see heaven open, and
the angels of God ascending and descending upon the
Son of man.
Matthew_18:10
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Job
1:6
Now there was a day when the sons of
God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among
them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence come thou? Then Satan answered the
LORD, and said, from going to and fro in the earth, and
from walking up and down in it.
·
CONTRIBUTION OF ANGELS TO HUMANITY
The contributions of angels vary from every situation. But
it is well cited in the bible that their greatest contribution will be on the
Judgment Day, which is the Day of the Lord.
Revelation_12:7
And
there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the
dragon fought and his angels,
God created the angels for His unfathomable reasons and graces.
Psalms
104:1
Bless the LORD,
O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and
majesty. Who cover thyself with
light as with a garment: who
stretch out the heavens like a curtain: Who lay the beams of his chambers in
the waters: who make the clouds his chariot: who walk upon the wings of the
wind: Who make his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who
laid the foundations of the earth, that
it should not be removed for ever.
Nehemiah 9:6
Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with
all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preserve them all; and
the host of heaven worship thee.
·
ARE ANGELS THE JUDGES OF MANKIND
The pronouncement of other scholars
or ministers of the bible were not in accordance with the bible saying that the
angels were the one to judge the mankind. But the following verse tells us it
will be the righteous or the saints who will be the one to judge and the words
that Jesus spoken to mankind as to the angels too.
John_12:48
He that rejects me, and received not
my words, hath one that judged him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
1Corinthians_6:2
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the
world? And if the world shall be judged by
you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Corinthians_6:3
Know
ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more
things that pertain to this life?
·
WHO CAN WE TRUST, ANGELS, DEMONS OR OURSELVES?
TRUST TO GOD
·
2Samuel_22:3
TRUST TO JESUS
Mat
12:18
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my
beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he
shall show judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither
shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench,
till he send forth judgment unto victory.
And
in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
2Corinthians_3:4
And
such trust had we through Christ to God – ward:
TRUST TO GOSPEL
1Thessalonians_2:4
But
as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we
speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tried our hearts.
TRUST TO SAINT PAUL
1Timothy_1:11
According
to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
TRUST TO THE APOSTLE
Matthew
28:16
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they
worshipped him: but some doubted. And
Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.
No they don’t have wings. Wings were intended to Cherub and
Seraphims. Angels looks like humans but they are spirit in nature. You could
not see him unless it is by his own will or God said so. They can stand, sit,
walk, fly and fight somebody who will hurt you if you are a righteous person or
they can even change their nature like fire.
Genesis_16:10
And
the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it
shall not be numbered for multitude.
Exodus_3:2
And
the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of
a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Numbers_22:31
Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and
he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his
hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
Acts
5:17
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that
were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with
indignation, and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common
prison. But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison
doors, and brought them forth, and said, Go, stand and speak in the
temple to the people all the words of this life.
·
DO THEY HAVE POWERS?
YES... Angels do have power over all things provided by and
with the permission of God. They can fight physically. They be visible and
disappear, they can be here on the wink of an eye, they travel faster than the
rays of the sun.
2Peter_2:11
Whereas:
angels which are greater in power and
might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
Revelations_14:18
And
another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried
with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp
sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully
ripe.
Revelations_16:8
And
the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him
to scorch men with fire.
Revelations_18:1
And after these things I saw another angel
come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his
glory.
Genesis
32:24
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a
man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed
not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh
was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day
break. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, what is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be
called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and
with men, and hast prevailed.
·
WHO ARE THEIR ADVERSARIES?
Satan and
its cohorts walk about. Demons can
change their condition from a simple person to a wild beast, or even like
angels. They offer worldly pleasures, lust. They are satisfied when they saw
their victims enjoying the gratification of this earth.
1Peter_5:8
Be
sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walk
about, seeking whom he may devour:
Genesis
3:1
Now
the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
The technique of Satan to beguiled Eve
seem to be like a lion, very gentle in approaching his prey, talking like the
sound of a harp and swiftly like the bait of a serpent. BEWARE!
·
ARE WE OBLIGED TO PAY TRIBUTE TO ANGELS?
NO. We really not ought to pay tribute to angels. Since we are
the one that will judge them and the angels are our subordinates. Although a fair respect is enough to the
angels, the bible do not mentioned any higher appraisal to the entity of
angels. Humbleness is what we can expect to every angel.
Revelation
19:9
And he said unto
me, Write, Blessed are they
which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, these
are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him.
And he said unto me, See thou do it
not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of
Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Luke_1:19
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel. That
stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak unto thee, and to show
thee these glad tidings.
Jude_1:9
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending
with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, does
not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Since God put angels almost before the earth was created,
angels can also be a subject of sinning against God. And it comes that Satan
was the very first angel that sinned to God. They have free will. They can
disobey God. Although they know the rules, they violate it constantly.
Acts
7:53
Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and
have not kept it.
Isaiah_14:12
How
art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the
ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Revelation_12:4
And
his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the
earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered,
for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Revelation_12:9
And
the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceive the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
·
ARE ANGELS ETERNAL AND OMNISCIENT?
YES! Angels are eternal for God is Eternal BUT, they are not
omniscient. Only God and Jesus hold this power. Ever since God and Jesus were
eternal and since angels were spirit and made by God we can conclusively
affirmed that angels were eternal. God creates another heaven that will be the
habitation of the saints and righteous people who worship and believe God. And
God’s promised was forever. While God create a place for those transgressors
called Hell, many of the demons were still bound themselves in it, doing their
own will.
John_8:16
Revelation_21:1
And
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Revelation
21:5
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Revelation
21:6
And he said unto me, It
is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain
of the water of life freely.
Revelation
21:7
He
that overcome shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be
my son.
Revelation
21:17
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and
four cubits, according to the
measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the
building of the wall of it was of
jasper: and the city was
pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the
foundations of the wall of the city were
garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the
third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth,
sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the
tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the
street of the city was pure
gold, as it was transparent glass.
Revelation_1:18
I
am he that live, and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation_20:14
And
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
·
WHY GOD CREATED ANGELS?
Definitely it is only the immeasurable love and eternal
purpose of God that matters. Because of those reasons everything in heavens and
earth were created, and as the center of his purposes was His son Jesus. The
delightfulness that Jesus brings to God was wordless. Really words don’t come
easy for the love that he feels to His Son Jesus.
Colossians_1:16
For by him were all things created, that are in
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Revelation_4:11
Thou
art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created
all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Romans_8:28
And we know
that all things work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans_9:11
(For the
children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that
the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him
that called.)
Ephesians_3:11
According to the eternal purpose which
he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Proverb
8:22
The LORD
possessed me in the beginning of
his way, before his works of old. I was
set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet
he had not made the earth, or the fields, or the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens,
I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

Proverb 8:31
Rejoicing
in the habitable part of His earth; and my delights were
with the sons of men.
Romans_8:28
And as we seen the setting of the sun, in which God created it
with a priceless rays from far away; together with the angel besides us, let us
begin a short prayer coming from our humble heart; and lastly said:
TO GOD BE THE
