BIBLE FACTS ABOUT ANGELS (8)

(Message by Tanny  Keng)

1. What does the Bible say about angels? So what do angels look like and what names are they given?

a) The following passages of Scripture give us the best biblical look at angels.

b) Most angels have the appearance and form of a man. Most of them have wings, but not all. Some are larger than life. Others have multiple faces that appear like a man from one angle, and a lion, ox, or eagle from another angle. Some angels are bright, shining, and fiery while others look like ordinary humans. Some angels are invisible, yet their presence is felt and their voice is heard.

Some angels are called cherubim.

c) If you read this description in Ezekiel 1:1-28, you will discover that these angels look nothing at all like cute, chubby babies with wings. In Ezekiel 10:20, we are told these angels are cherubim.
  

d) Some angels are called seraphim.

e) In Isaiah 6:1-8 we see a description of seraphim. These are tall angels, each with 6 wings, and they can fly.

2. Angels are "sons of the mighty."

Psalm 89:6 King James Version (KJV) 

⁶ For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

3. Angels are "sons of God."

Job 2:1 New King James Version (NKJV) 

2 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

4. Angels are "chariots."

2 Kings 6:16-17 New International Version (NIV) 

¹⁶ “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

¹⁷ And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
