We have studied much about angels. They are
innumerable. They surround the throne of God in worship and praise. We have
looked at the appearance of some and the fall of others. They speak and deliver messages and fight spiritual
battles. Some have six wings and others have four faces. Here are a few more
interesting facts about this part of the heavenly host.
Angels
hearken to God’s Word:
Bless
the Lord, you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of His Word.
Psalm 103:20
Read God’s Word out loud as you study and angels
will hearken to you!
Angels do
not marry and neither will we in heaven:
But
those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the
resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, and
they can no longer die, for they are like the angels. They are God’s children,
since they are children of the resurrection.
Luke 20:35-36 (see also Matthew 12:25)
I told
my husband I was still going to live near him in heaven and he got the
strangest look on his face. I guess I’ll
have to give him a 1,000 year break now and again.J
Angels rejoice over our salvation and they want to
look into such things:
In
the same way, I tell you there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10
….when
they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached
the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look
into these things. 1 Peter 1:12
Man does
not turn into an angel, but angels can disguise themselves as man.
Do
not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have
shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
Hebrews 13:2
Angels
are not to be worshipped:
At
this, I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that! I
am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the
testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears
testimony to Jesus.” Revelation 19:10
(see also Revelations 22:8-9)
Angels
eat. The manna that God sent from heaven
for the Israelites to eat could be the first mention of angel food cake.
Human
beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat. Psalm 78:25
Dear Lord,
We thank you for Your Word of truth and life today. As we read these Words we can feel the presence of angels around us. They worship You too. Thank You for this day. We rejoice in it!
Amen
