Angels, 25of27

~ Descriptions of Holy Angels ~ 

Angels Are Messengers  ~  First, we should note that the word “angel” has the meaning of messenger in both Hebrew and Greek.  A messenger is an agent working for another. 

Angels Are Mighty Ones  ~  “Praise the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word.  Praise the Lord, all His heavenly hosts, You His servants who do His will” (Psalm 103:20-21). 

Angels Are Servants  ~  “Praise the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word.  Praise the Lord, all His heavenly hosts, You His servants who do His will” (Psalm 103:20-21). 

Angels Are Ministering Spirits  ~  “But to which of the angels has He ever said: ‘Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool’?  Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:13-14). 

Angels Are God’s Supervisors  ~  “This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers and the decision is a command of the holy ones, in order that the living may know that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, and bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men” (Daniel 4:17, also see Jeremiah 4:14-16).

Angels Are Military Hosts  ~   “Praise the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word.  Praise the Lord, all His heavenly hosts, You His servants who do His will” (Psalm 103:20-21, also see Genesis 2:1). 

Angels Are Sons of the Mighty  ~  “For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord?  Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?” (Psalm 89:6).

Angels Are Described as Chariots  ~  “The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness” (Psalm 68:17).
