Elohim, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed heir of all, through whom also He made the ages, who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of His substance, and sustaining all by the word of His power, having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness on high, having become so much better than the messengers, as He has inherited a more excellent Name than them. When studying the topic of angels, it is imperative that we do not place too much emphasis on them or give them more than their due. I say this because in some places people who profess to be Christians all but worship them. They address prayers to the saints, to angels and to other human beings such as Jesus' mother, Mary. She is a wonderful woman but is nevertheless a woman and although the mother of Jesus, was just as much a woman as your own mother and my own mother. Please give these people their rightful due, but do not worship them or pray to them as this is contrary to the word of God. The following lists share pertinent information about them.
Angels possess names or titles that reflect their nature, character or appointment. The following is a general purpose list.
The following depicts some of their actions or activities.

The names of angels Gabriel: Gabriel's name appears often in scripture. He is a mighty, majestic and powerful being of very high ranking. The table below lists his appearances in scripture.
Michael: Michael is also a powerful angel.
The angel of the Lord: In the Old Testament, people had encounters with The Angel Of The LORD. I sometimes think that the being they met was in fact, Jesus Himself. One significant and seemingly common experience was the reaction these people had when they saw this angel. We see reference to how the person fell down in fear, needing reassurance that all was well. They fearfully said in essence, I just saw God, wondering how they lived!

Psalm 91: In closing, I share a wonderful psalm with you that is God's commitment to you. It is His promise to protect you, care for you, shelter you and provide all that is necessary for your welfare and future. You do not need to fear terrors of the night, arrows that fly during the day, plagues that roam the dark, epidemics that strike at noon. They will not come near you, even though a thousand may fall dead beside you or ten thousand at your right side. |
