- [Narrator] Angels are for real.
Conjectures about the nature of angels
have been in place for a very long time
and continues to this day.
However, through revelation in the Bible,
God has told us a great deal about them.
Thus theologians through the ages
have universally agreed about the importance of angelology.
They thought it worthy of treatment
in any book of systematic theology.
They wrote at length, differentiating between
good angels and satonology.
Today, we have forgotten the theme of good angels.
Although, many are giving the devil
and all his demons full awareness.
The thing we must understand is,
angels belong to a uniquely different dimension of creation
that we can hardly understand.
In this realm, the constraints are different
from those God has placed on ours.
God has given angels higher knowledge
and mobility than humans.
Have you ever seen or met
one of these superior beings called angels.
The scriptures in human experience tells us,
that visible appearances by angels are rare,
but that makes angels any less real.
They're God's messengers, whose chief business
is to carry out his orders in the world.
God has given them an ambassadorial charge.
He has appointed and empowered them
as holy deputies to perform his work of righteousness.
In this way, they assist him as their creator
while he sovereignly controls the universe.
So he has given them the capacity
to bring his Holy enterprises to a successful outcome.
Some people would have us believe
that they are only spiritual ghosts.
Some view them as only celestial beings
with beautiful wings and bowed heads.
Others would have us think of them as babies.
The word of God lets us know that angels, like men
were also created by God.
This means at one time, no angels existed.
Paul in Colossians 1:16 says,
"For in him, all things were created.
"Things are in heaven and on earth,
"visible and invisible."
Angels indeed are among the invisible things made by God.
For all things were created by him and for him.
It seems that angels can change their appearance
and move in a flash from the glory of heaven
to planet and back again.
Although some analysts have said
that the phrase sons of God,
in Genesis 6:2 refers to angels.
The scripture regularly makes it clear
that angels are non-material.
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve
those who inherit salvation, Hebrews 1:14.
Hebrews 1:14, calls them ministering spirits.
Intrinsically, they do not possess physical bodies.
Although, they may take on natural frames
when God appoints them to specialized tasks.
Furthermore, God has given them no ability to marry.
Mark 12:25 says, "When the dead rise,
"they will neither marry nor be given in marriage.
"They will be like angels in heaven."
The empire of angels is as vast as God's creation.
If you believe in the Bible,
you will believe in their ministry.
They cover both the Old and New Testaments
being mentioned directly or indirectly, nearly 300 times.
Biblical scholars believe that angels
can be numbered potentially in the millions,
because Hebrews 12:22 speaks of
an innumerable company of angels.
As to their number, David describes 20,000
coursing through the skyways of the stars.
Even with his limited vision, he impressively notes,
"The chariots of God, are twice 10,000
"thousands upon thousands.
"The Lord is among them.
"Sinai is now in the sanctuary."
Psalm 68:17, 10000 angels came down
on Mount Sinai to confirm
the presence of God, as he gave the law to Moses.
Deuteronomy 33:2 he said,
"The Lord came from Sinai and dawned
"over them from Seir.
"He shone forth from Mount Paran.
"He came from the myriads of holy ones
"from the south, from his mountain slopes."
Deuteronomy 33:2, an earthquake rocked the mountain
Moses was held in speech bound wonder,
at this mighty cataclysm attended by
the visitation of heavenly beings.
Also, in the New Testament,
John tells us of having seen 10,000 times,
10,000 angels ministering to the Lamb of God
in the throne room of the universe.
"Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels,
"numbering thousands upon thousands
"and 10,000 times, 10,000.
"They encircled the throne and the living creatures
"and the elders."
Revelation 5:11, the book of revelation also says that
armies of angels will appear with Jesus
at the battle of Armageddon.
When God's foes gathered for their final defeat.
Paul says in 2nd Thessalonians 1:7,
"And give relief to you who are troubled
"and to us as well."
This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven
in blazing fire with his powerful angels, reflect on that.
Multitudes of angels, indescribably powerful
performing the words of heaven.
Amazingly, even one angel is indescribably mighty
as though an extension of God's hand.
Individually or corporately angels are real.
They are better organized than
were the armies of Napoleon or Pharaoh.
From the earliest age, when the angels watching
the gates of Eden's sealed its path,
angels have demonstrated their presence in the world.
God placed angelic sentinels called the cherubim
at the east of the Garden of Eden.
They were commissioned not only
to block man's return into Eden,
but with a flaming sword flashing back and forth
to guard the way to the tree of life.
Genesis 3:24 says, "After sending them out
"the Lord God stationed a mighty cherubim
"to the east of the garden of Eden.
"And he placed a flaming sword
"that flashed back and forth to guard the way
"of the tree of life.
"To prevent Adam from eating of its fruit
"should live forever."
If Adam had lived in his sin forever,
this earth would long ago have been hell.
Thus in one sense, death was a blessing to the human race.
Witness the unique unrepeated show at Mount Sinai,
when God moves toward man,
it is an event of the prime importance
and includes the visitation of angelic hosts
in the clouds that covered Sinai
and angelic trumpeter announced the presence of God.
The entire mountain seemed to vibrate with life.
Terror sees the people below,
the earth seemed convulsed with a nameless fear.
As God came to the mountaintop,
he was accompanied by thousands of angels.
Moses, the silence in solitary witness
must have been overwhelmed with
even a limited vision of God's forces.
The sight was so terrifying that Moses said,
"I am trembling with fear."
Hebrews 12:21, the appearance of God was glorious.
He shone like the sun when it goes to a strength
in his review, Matthew Henry says even seer infrared
two mountains at some distance
were illuminated by the divine glory,
which appeared at Mount Sinai.
And reflected some of the rays are so bright
was the appearance and so much taken notice
to set forth the wonders
of the Divine Providence.
Psalm 18:7-9 says, "Then the earth shook and trembled
"the foundations also of the hills moved,
"and were shaking because he was angry
"there went up a smoke from his nostrils
"and fire out of his mouth.
"Coals were kindled by it.
"He bowed the heavens also came down
"and darkness was under his feet."
The history of virtually all nations and cultures
reveals at least some belief in angelic beings.
Old Egyptians made the tombs of the dead more impregnable
and lavish than the homes because they felt
angels would visit them in succeeding generations.
Today, some scientists lend credence
to the scientific profitability of angels
when they admit the likelihood
of unseen invisible intelligence.
Increasingly, our world is being acutely aware
of the existence of a cult in demonic powers.
People pay attention as never before
to sensational headlines, promoting films
and books concerning the occult.
News accounts of strange happenings around the world
fascinate readers and TV viewers everywhere.
Ought not Christians grasping
the eternal dimension of life
become conscious of the sinless angelic powers,
who are for real and who associate with God himself
and administer his works in our behalf.
After all, references to the holy angels in the Bible far
outnumber the references to Satan
and his subordinate demons.
If the activities of the devil and his demons
seemed to intensify these days, as I believe they are,
should not be incredibly greater
supernatural powers of God's holy angels
be even more indelibly impressed on the minds
of people of faith.
Yes, the eye of faith sees much evidence
of the supernatural display of God's power and glory.
God is still in business too.
Christians must never fail to sense
the operation of angelic glory.
It forever eclipse the world of demonic powers
as the sun does the candles light.
If you are a believer,
expect mighty angels to accompany you
in your life experiences.
And let those events dramatically illustrate
the loving presence of the holy ones,
as Daniel calls them.
Angels speak, they appear and reappear.
They are emotional creatures.
While angels may become visible by choice,
our eyes are not built to see them any more
than we can see the dimensions of a nuclear field,
the structure of atoms or the electricity
that flows through copper wiring.
Our ability to sense reality is limited.
The deer of the forest far surpass our human capacity
in their keenness of smell.
Bats possess a phenomenally sensitive
built in radar system.
Some animals can see things in the dark
and escape our attention.
Swallows and geese possess sophisticated
guidance systems that appear to border on supernatural.
So why should we think it's strange
if men fail to perceive the evidence of angelic presence?
Could it be that God granted Balaam and his ask,
a new optical capacity to view the angel?
Numbers 22:23-31, "When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord
"standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand,
"it turned off the road into a field.
"Balaam beat it to get it back on the road."
Numbers 22:31, "Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam
"and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way
"and his sword drawn in his hand.
"And he bowed down his head and fell flat on his face."
Without this unique sense,
they might have thought him to be only
a figment of their imagination.
There are reports from many places around the world
telling a visitors of the angelic order
appearing, ministering, fellowshipping, and disappearing.
They warn God's impending judgment,
spell out the tenderness of his love,
meet a desperate need, then they are gone.
We can be sure that the angels
never draw attention to themselves,
but ascribed to God's glory
and presses message upon the hearers
as the delivering and sustaining word
of the highest order.
Satan worship and demonic activity
are on the increase in all parts of the world.
The devil is alive and more at work
than at any other time.
The word of God says that since he knows his time is short,
his activity will increase.
Through his demonic sway, he does succeed
in turning many away from the true faith.
However, we can still say that his evil activities
are countered for God's people by his ministering spirits,
the holy ones of the angelic order.
They are sturdy delivering the heirs of salvation
from the deceptions of evil men, they cannot fail.
Believers look up, take courage.
The angels are closer than you think.
For after all, God will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
They will lift you up in their hands
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
Psalm 91:11-12 says, "For he will command his angels
"concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
"They will lift you up in their hands,
"so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."
We pray this video blessed you.
We also pray that God will continue
to lift you with wisdom every day, stay blessed.
