God Did This To Fallen Angels

This is part one, where i will delve into who angels are. Let us turn to the scriptures for answers.

Throughout the Old Testament, angels are mentioned 108 times. They play a significant role in the lives of elders like Abraham and Jacob, as shown in the book of Genesis. In Exodus, we see Moses encountering angels during the Wilderness wandering. For instance, Exodus 14:19 states, "Then the angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them and stood behind them."

In the book of the Law and Moses' writings, the word "angels" or "angel" appears 32 times, introducing them as the host of Heaven. Angels are not mythical figures or mere opinions; they are real beings with spiritual personalities and a physical impact. Just as the demonic world is hidden, the angelic world is also concealed from our sight.

Angels surround us, and their dynamic impact is undeniable. Although we may not see them, there is nothing that escapes the observation of the angels of God. We may not be able to touch them, but angels can touch people. They possess the power to destroy kings and exhibit invincible strength. In the Bible, we learn that God chose a specific angel to go ahead of Moses to Egypt, single-handedly defeating a whole nation. The angels of God excel in strength, and their invincibility sets them apart from demons.

Psalm 103:20 states, "Bless the Lord, you his angels, who excel in strength, who do His commandments, heeding the voice of His word."

There was once a war in heaven, where the angels led by Archangel Michael fought against Satan and his angels. God used His angels to confront Satan's fallen army, and they emerged victorious. Satan and his angels were cast out of heaven, never to return. The angels have always succeeded in flushing out opposition completely. In the world, we witness that angels have never been known to fail. There is no force that can arise against us that matches the strength they possess. They serve as the most beneficial bodyguards of the redeemed.

Apart from their physical strength, angels also shine in intelligence. The wisdom of angels is likened to that of the angel of God, as portrayed in the story of the Widow of Toccoa and King David. Their wisdom encompasses knowledge of everything that is on the Earth.

Now let's move on to part two, where we will discuss the categories and ranks of angels. Angels are of different ranks, and one such rank is Archangel. When Jesus was about to be taken in the garden, Peter tried to protect Him with a sword. Jesus said in Matthew 26:53, "Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?" A legion was a Roman military unit consisting of about 6,000 soldiers.

In a general sense, the largest group of angels is what we can call the regular angels. Most of the time, when angels are mentioned in the Bible, these are the angels being referred to. While referring to them as ordinary angels may seem contradictory, it is appropriate when we consider that they are not part of the unique classes or orders of angels mentioned in the Bible.

The first order of angels mentioned in the scriptures is the cherubim. They appeared right after Adam and Eve's fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3 tells us about these events. After Adam and Eve violated God's command by partaking of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they had to.

After Adam and Eve violated God's command in the Garden of Eden, they had to leave the garden. To prevent their return and access to the tree of life, God placed cherubim and a flaming sword at the entrance. The cherubim are often associated with the presence and glory of God. In other parts of the Bible, they are depicted as powerful and majestic beings, guarding sacred spaces and carrying out specific tasks.

The second order of angels mentioned in the Bible is the seraphim. We find a reference to them in the book of Isaiah, specifically in Isaiah 6:1-3. These celestial beings are described as having six wings, with two covering their faces, two covering their feet, and two used for flying. The seraphim are known for their worship and adoration of God, as depicted in Isaiah's vision.

The third order of angels mentioned in the Bible is the archangels. The term "archangel" appears in the New Testament, and it refers to high-ranking angels with significant responsibilities. One of the most well-known archangels is Michael. In the book of Daniel, Michael is described as a prince who protects the people of Israel. In the book of Jude, Michael is mentioned in the context of contending with the devil.

Apart from Michael, another prominent archangel mentioned in the Bible is Gabriel. Gabriel plays a crucial role in delivering messages from God to various individuals. He is specifically mentioned in the book of Daniel, where he provides Daniel with interpretations of visions. Gabriel is also known for announcing the births of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ in the New Testament.

In addition to these specific orders of angels, the Bible also mentions angelic hosts, heavenly armies, and various other categories of angels. These references highlight the vastness and diversity of the angelic realm.

It is important to note that while angels are powerful beings, they are not to be worshipped. In several instances in the Bible, when humans attempted to worship angels, they were rebuked and directed to worship God alone. Angels serve as messengers, protectors, and servants of God's purposes.

In conclusion, angels hold a significant role in the biblical narrative. They are real beings with spiritual personalities, intelligence, and various ranks and orders. From the regular angels to cherubim, seraphim, and archangels, angels carry out God's commands and interact with humanity according to His will.
