Christian Angels?

Question

i want to know more about Christian Angels

Answer 1

Both the Hebrew mal·’akh′ and the Greek ag′ge·los literally mean “messenger.” From the first book of the Bible to the last, these words occur nearly 400 times. When spirit messengers are indicated, the words are translated “angels,” but if the reference definitely is to human creatures, the rendering is “messengers.” (Ge 16:7; 32:3; Jas 2:25; Re 22:8; see MESSENGER.) However, in the highly symbolic book of Revelation certain references to ‘angels’ may apply to human creatures.—Re 2:1, 8, 12, 18; 3:1, 7, 14.

Angels are sometimes termed spirits; that which is spirit is invisible and powerful. Thus we read: “A spirit came out and stood before Jehovah”; “Are they not all spirits for public service?” (1Ki 22:21; Heb 1:14) Having invisible spiritual bodies, they make their abode “in the heavens.” (Mr 12:25; 1Co 15:44, 50) They are also termed “sons of the true God,” “morning stars,” and “holy myriads” (or “holy ones”).—Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; De 33:2.

Not being creatures that marry and reproduce their own kind, the angels were individually created by Jehovah through his firstborn Son, “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Mt 22:30; Re 3:14) “By means of him [this firstborn Son, the Word] all other things were created in the heavens . . . the things invisible . . . Also, he is before all other things and by means of him all other things were made to exist.” (Col 1:15-17; Joh 1:1-3) The angels were created long before man’s appearance, for at the ‘founding of the earth’ “the morning stars joyfully cried out together, and all the sons of God began shouting in applause.”—Job 38:4-7.

As for the number of the angelic hosts of heaven, Daniel said he saw “a thousand thousands that kept ministering to [God], and ten thousand times ten thousand that kept standing right before him.”—Da 7:10; Heb 12:22; Jude 14.........I hope this helps but look up the scriptures to prove to yourself.

Answer 2

Angel - the word means messenger - in the New Testament they are usually connected with messages sent from God. The angels have a hierarchy. Satan was once the most powerful and beautiful of the angels. His name was Lucifer. When He fell, he took with him 1/3 of the angels in heaven.

Those that remain are 100 percent loyal to God and worship Him without ceasing. The only two angels, other than Lucifer, that are mentioned by name are Michael and Gabriel - both Archangels.

The hierarchy is arranged similar to a military hierarchy, with Michael and Gabriel in the highest positions.

Angelic beings, when they appear to men, are usually described as being frightening. They do not, as is typically portrayed, have wings. That mix up comes from the Seraphim, mighty creatures that guard the throne of God and have three sets of wings. They are heard to say 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts'. Another being often mistaken for an angel is the Cherubim - second in rank to the Seraphim.

Answer 3

Only two are mentioned in the Bible -Gabriel and Michael.

Gabriel (whose name means "man of God") is mentioned is four times in the Scriptures : 1)Twice to Daniel (Daniel 8:16-17,9:21:22),; to Zechariah, father of John the Baptist (Luke 1:11-20); and to Mary, the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38). He always brought important messages from God.

Michael (whose name means "Who is like God ?" ) is mentioned several times in the Bible: 1) when he delivers a message to Daniel (Daniel 10:13,21; 12:1), 2) when he contends with the devil (Jude 9), and 3) when he fights with the dragon (Revelation 12:7).

Answer 5

Angels are messangers of God. They are also commissioned to protect the saints (believers)
They are NOT to be worshiped or called upon....we call upon the name of the Lord.

Answer 6

Hadn't thought of it in that way, since Angels are God's servants. But they are workers with Jesus..............
