Angels - Why are they not known in this forum?

[face2face]

Ministering spirits, sent forth to serve the heirs of salvation

»A constant series of missions: guiding, protecting, assisting, chastening; subject to our free will. [Heb 1]

§The Angel of Yahweh encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. [Ps 34:7]

»Their activity is not intermittent, only when we are in trouble. They are active always in all situations throughout our lives.

§He shall give His Angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. [Ps 91:11]

»Like our Lord Jesus Christ, we must never presume or abuse the care and protection afforded by the Angels. It is there for what we cannot do ourselves.

As we shall discover there is no such thing as an evil angel.

1.Angels are preparing us to be like them, doing what they do. They are our pattern of activity in the Kingdom.
2.Angels are concerned to save us mortals. This will be our concern in the Kingdom, and should be now.
3.Angels make known to us the Father and reflect His ways and character. They are of one mind with Him, and do His will as He would; yet are individual personalities.
4.Angels are with us always and know us thoroughly, even our thoughts. They rejoice when we respond to their working in our lives.
5.The Angel who has known us throughout our lifetime will possbily be with us at the judgment seat.

The Angels are always subject to God

Bless the LORD, you His Angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.
Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, you ministers of His, who do His pleasure. [Ps 103:20]

The heavens will praise your wonders, O LORD; your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints [holy ones]. Who in the heavens can be compared to the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty [heavenly beings] can be likened to Him? [Ps 89:5-6]

»God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints [holy ones], and to be held in reverence by all those around Him. [v7]
»They act in His Name to perform His will. They never act independently of Him, or out of harmony with His mind and His way, they never exalt themselves.

Angels are Elohim [Mighty Ones]

What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? You have made him a little lower than the Elohim, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. [Ps 8:4]

You have made him a little lower than the Angels. [Heb 2:7]

Worship Him, all you Elohim. [Ps 97:7]

»When He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the Angels of God worship Him.”

The Angels created man in their image and likeness.

Elohim said, “Let US make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness…” Elohim created man in his own image; in the image of Elohim he created him; male and female he created them. [Gen 1:26-27]

In the day that Elohim created man, he made him in the likeness of Elohim. [Gen 5:1]

Then Yahweh Elohim said, “Behold, the man has become like one of US, to know [experimentally] good and evil. Now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life…” [Gen 3:22]

We are like the Angels—and they are like us!

They knew good and evil during their probation.

Also note how Eternal Beings and Sin cannot be allow to happen hence them being sent from the Tree of Life.

LIKE US—Knowing good and evil

To know good and evil is to know what is good and what is evil, and continually make free will choices.

Your little ones have no knowledge of good and evil. [Deut 1:39]

The virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel… that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. [Isa 7:14]

Those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, those who have done evil, to condemnation. [John 5:29]

Like us, the Angels experienced good and evil during their probationary period. There would have been no glory to God if their obedience was not the result of voluntary submission of their own free will.

The Angels passed through a mortal, probationary state like us.

“Sons of God is a title conferred upon men and Angels. They are styled ‘Sons of God’ and ‘Stars of the Dawn’,
or ‘Morning Stars’. [Job 38:7]

These being have been exalted to eternity and in no way be subject to evil in their spirit state.

The Angels are the eyes of the Lord.

The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. [2Chr 16:9]

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. [Ps 34:15]

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. [Pro 15:3]

The ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He ponders all his paths. [Pro 5:21]

Maybe it's possible Christians don't believe Angels are God's Spirit being's and have Him as their life? If His life is Spirit, can that Spirit be evil?

This is where the rubber meets the road on this subject. If an eternal immortal angel "could" sin; you would have God's very Spirit as being evil!

Then Yahweh Elohim said, “Behold, the man has become like one of US, to know [experimentally] good and evil. Now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life…” [Gen 3:22]

I wonder if there is a brave Christian who can see the dilemma?

This is a good one especially considering the position we’re in in this world right now.

2 Kings 6:17 (KJV):
"And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
