ANGELOLOGY 2: ANGEL'S MINISTRY

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Angelology

a) Angelology comes from two Greek words, meaning the doctrine of angels. The study of Angelology covers the origin, nature, ministry and destiny of angels, both good and evil. You will notice that not only are angels real, but so are demons, which are fallen angels. The Bible refers to angels and demons over 270 times.

b) The Bible has much to say to describe angels and demons.

i) Angels are referred to as masculine, although neither do they have a sexual distinction nor do they marry.

ii) In the Bible we see large numbers of Angels many times.

iii) Angels are very fast; they have great speed.

iv) Angels are very strong but they are not all powerful (omnipotent).

v) Angels are very wise.

vi) Some Angels are good and some angels are evil; the evil ones are called demons (fallen angels).

2. Angel's Ministry

a) They Minister to God: 

Psalms 148:1-2 
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts!

b) They Minister to Man as Messengers: 

Luke 1:13 
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

c) They Minister to Man as Guardians: 

Daniel 6:22 
My God sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.

d) They Minister to the Needs of Believers: 

Hebrews 1:14 
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

The End ...
