Angels are spirit creatures that were created by god. They have been used in many cases, one such case was the two powerful angels sent by God that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah

The Scripture speaks about the creation of angels, therefore, it is clear that they have not existed from all eternity (Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 148:2,5). Colossians 1:16-17 explains:

"For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."

The time of their creation is never definitely specified, but it is most probable that it occurred in connection with the creation of the heavens in Genesis 1:1. It may be that God created the angels immediately after He had created the heavens and before He created the earth - for according to Job 38:4-7, "the sons of God shouted for joy" when He laid the foundations of the earth.


Ministry is just as much a part of angel’s work as it is ours. “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14) There is no limit to what God can have angels do for us. He provides for everything that we need and He has innumerable angels to help. (Hebrews 12:22)

Basically, angels are those who were and are of this earth that serve as messengers of God. Many of the righteous persons having made the transition from this mortal plane to live in paradise exist as angels. There are five categories of angels.

1.Pre-existent Spirits, i.e., “Michael and his angels fought against the dragon” before men were first placed on earth.

2.Translated Beings. Many righteous persons in the early days of the earth’s history were translated. (Inspired Version, Gen. 14:26-36.)

3.Spirits of Just Men Made Perfect. (Heb. 12:22-24.) These are the spirits of men who have worked out their salvation, but are waiting the day of the resurrection.

4.Resurrected Personages. (Matt. 27:52-53.) Many instances of ministration by resurrected angels have occurred since the coming forth of our Lord from the tomb.

5.Righteous Mortal Men. (Gen. 19.) In this account these angels are called “men” and the wicked inhabitants of Sodom so considered them.

Angels shall minister for God through the eternities and cannot progress further than their station. They live in the presence of God and the Son, but stand by to do His bidding.

Angels are made out of pure light

they NEVER disobey God, and they do what they are told. They are of different tasks, some are resposnible for revelations, some are responsible to guard people from the evil of others, some are responsible on keeping everything directed by the will of God.

Angels are messengers of God. They created of light and they are not created on the image of God. There are hierarchy of angels in creation ranging from angels, archangels, seraphim and cherubim according to the information available in the Bible. Beside being messengers of God they also serve God and also man when prayer by believers of Christ requested their guard. Also, angels maintain to give glory and praise to God all the time.

Fallen angels are those angels whom were deceived by Lucifer, who because of his pride to become like God was accursed and thrown out of heaven down to earth. Lucifer became the Devil or Satan after the fall, and God condemned him and his followers to be thrown to Hell on judgment day.

Angels are a figment of your imagination. They dont exist so they dont come. They dont do anything as they dont exist. Only christianity has a place for angels, the other religions dont depend on that stuff, they have thier own shittt

They are people whose first names or surnames or both are "Angel/s". They come from the same place you and I come from and do the same things you and I do.

Angels are messengers. They bring messages from God to man, in other words they bring Gods word to mankind.

An angel is a supernatural being found in many religions, whose duties are to assist and serve God. They typically act as messengers, as believed in the main three monotheistic religions

Etymology

The English word originated from Latin, angelus, which is itself derived from the ancient and modern Greek αγγελος, ángelos, meaning "messenger" (double gamma "γγ" is pronounced "ng" in Greek). The closest Hebrew word for angel is מלאך, mal'ach Hebrew word #4397 in Strong's, also meaning "messenger". "Angel" is also used in the English version of the Bible for the following three Hebrew words:

אביר, abbir Hebrew word #47 in Strong's, Psalms 78:25 (lit. "mighty")
אלהים, Elohim Hebrew word #430 in Strong's, Psalms 8:5
the obscure שנאן, shin'an Hebrew word #8136 in Strong's, in Psalms 68:17


Angelology


Angelology is a branch of theology that deals with a hierarchical system of angels, messengers, celestial powers or emanations, and the study of these systems. It primarily relates to kaballistic Judaism and Christianity[1], where it is one of the ten major branches of theology, albeit a neglected one[2].

Most scholars do not acknowledge that Judeo-Christianity owes a great debt to Zoroastrianism in regards to the introduction of angelology and demonology, as well as Satan (Ahriman) as the ultimate agent of evil. As the Iranian Avestan and Vedic traditions and also other branches of Indo-European mythologies show, the notion of demon had existed long before.

It is not believed that Zoroastrianism had an influence on Jewish angelology[3], and therefore modern Christian angelology, due to the appearance of elements from Zoroastrianism in Judaism following Israel's extended contact with the Persian Empire while in exile in Babylon,[4] which have some to believe that Zoroastrianism borowed these beliefs from Judaism. Borrowed notions may include, the introduction of Satan as a supreme head over the powers of evil (present mainly in Christian and Islamic theology), in contrast to God[5]: comparing Satan to Angra Mainyu (also known as Ahriman) of Zoroastrian faith[6], who was the arch-enemy of Ahura Mazda, the supreme Universal God of mankind.[7]Angels, some also believe, may have first been depicted as God's helpers in Zoroastrianism, and their hierarchy is comparable to modern Angelology's hierarchy[8].

This view is questioned though by those who point out that the Torah, the Book of Job, and other Jewish books depicting angels as messengers of God predate the time of Persian influence.

In contrast to the first view, some critics believe that it was Judaism and Christianity that had an influence on Zoroastrianism. They purport that similarities, such as those between Zoroaster and Jesus, and the incorporation of other motifs, were created by priests in an attempt to exalt Zoroaster, and deter those of Zoroastrian faith from converting to other faiths

Angels as a development step of the soul



Some mystics believe, that a soul is growing in steps from minerals, plants and animals to men. When the human body dies, a soul could become an angel. The Persian Sufi mystic poet Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi wrote in his poem Masnavi:

I died as inanimate matter and arose a plant,

I died as a plant and rose again an animal.

I died as an animal and arose a man.

Why then should I fear to become less by dying?

I shall die once again as a man

To rise an angel perfect from head to foot!

Again when I suffer dissolution as an angel,

I shall become what passes the conception of man!

Let me then become non-existent, for non-existence

Sings to me in organ tones, 'To him shall we return.'

(Translation from Wikisource, Masnavi I Ma'navi, Book III, Story XVII)’’
The Christian mystic Emanuel Swedenborg has a similar imagination. In his late work Conjugal Love he describes, that a soul of a man and a soul of a woman are united by the marriage in Heaven to become an angel.
