| Are
angels real?
Angels are absolutely real. The angel,
Gabriel, brought the message to Mary that she was
to have a baby (read Luke 1:26-38). The angel, Michael,
has been fighting wars on behalf of God since the
fall of Satan. Revelation 12:7 says that there is
a coming war where Satan will be defeated by Michael
and his angels and will be cast out of heaven. And,
speaking of Satan, He was the most beautiful of all
angels until he decided that he was better than God
and fell from his exalted position and became God's
enemy and the enemy of the saints (read Isaiah 14).
All through the Bible are accounts
of people interacting with angels and of angels acting
on behalf of people. Angels are real servants of God
but you won't know the full extent of the work they
do until you get to heaven. I am excited about finally
understanding the full truth about what angels have
done in my life and what they have protected me from!
Scripture reference to angels: (KJV)
1) To announce: Luke 1:26-38 v26: “And
in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from
God unto a city of Galilee named Nazereth”……v38:
“And Mary said, Behold, the handmaiden of the
Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the
angel departed from her.” Verses 1:26-38 encompass
the complete conversation between Mary and the angel
Gabriel. Companion to this is Luke 1:18-19.
2) To protect: Dan 6:22 “My God
hath sent his angel and hath shut the lion’s
mouths, that they have not hurt me: foreasmuch as
before him innocence was found in me: and also before
thee O king, have I done no hurt”.
3) In judgement: Matthew 13:41-42 v41
“The Son of man shall send forth his angels,
and they shall gather together out of his kingdom
all things that offend, and them that do iniquity”
v42 “ And shall cast them into a furnace of
fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth”.
