a) Humans have always held a fascination for angels and angelic beings. For centuries artists have tried to capture the image of angels on canvas.

So, let's take a look at what the Bible says about angels.
b) Angels are mentioned 273 times in the Bible. Although we won't look at every instance, we shall look at what the Bible says about angels.
