TRUTH ABOUT ANGELS

Monday, January 17, 2011
Psalm 148:1,2
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights. Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him all His hosts.

For the next weeks, we will have an in-depth study of angels. There are many ideas about angels floating around, right now. (I didn't mean to make a pun on this serious matter). Many people have been deceived by erroneous teaching on this subject. So, to avoid any speculation, I will only use Scripture to present points. Doctrinal truth must come from the LORD and based on HIS Word. For greater clarification, visit the home page and hear Pastor Randy expound on Angels, this week, with 30 references from the Scripture. We want you to be fed with "good food" from the LORD and built up in truth; JESUS is Truth.

ANGELS ARE CREATED BEINGS
Psalm 148:5 says: "Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He commanded and they were created." Philippians 2:9-11 says: " wherefore. GOD also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name, that at the name of JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that JESUS Christ is LORD, to the glory of GOD, the Father." These created beings in heaven - angels; in the earth - humans; under the earth - devil and his angels; MUST BOW TO JESUS.

Colossians 1:16,17 says: "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers - all things were created by Him and for Him; and He is before all things and by him all things consist." The "Him" in these verses, is JESUS.

When were they created? Job 38:7 says: "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of GOD shouted for joy?" Who are the "morning stars" who sang together? The angels sang in hosts of thousands upon thousands, before earth was created.

Luke 20: 36 says: "Neither can they die any more (speaking about those humans who have died); for they are equal unto the angels, and are sons of GOD, being the sons of the resurrection." Angels are immortal, those who were created before the foundation of the earth are still among us. Think about that!! They have been among us as they were with Adam and Noah and Abraham etc.

Hebrews 12:22 says: "But ye are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the City of the living GOD, the heavenly Jerusalem and to an innumerable company of angels." We can not count the number of angels who were created before the world was made and stand ready for the command of JESUS to act.

Tomorrow we will continue this journey through the Scripture about angels. STAY TUNED!
