Angels

It's in the Bible, Hebrews 1:14"Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?"How many angels are there?Revelation 5:11, "Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand."
Who is the leader in charge of the angels? 1 Peter 3:22,"And now Christ is in heaven, sitting in the place of honor next to God the Father, with all the angels and powers of heaven bowing before Him and obeying Him."
Angels are special guardians.Matthew 18:10,"Beware that you don't look down upon a single one of these little children. For I tell you that in heaven their angels have constant access to My Father."
Angels can appear in the form of ordinary people. It's in the Bible, Hebrews 13:2, "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it."
Angels provide protection. Psalm 91:10-11,"For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."
Angels rescue people from danger. Psalm 34:7, "For the angel of the Lord guards and rescues all who reverence Him."
Do we become angels when we die? humans and angels are different from each other and were created separately. It’s in the Bible, Psalm 8:4, 5,“What is man that You are mindful of him? . . . You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.” Angels carry out God's orders.Psalm 103:20-21,"Bless the Lord, you mighty angels of His who carry out His orders, listening for each of His commands. Yes, bless the Lord, you armies of His angels who serve Him constantly."
Angels carry God's messages.Luke 2:9-10 "An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people."

Where did evil angels come from? They were good angels who chose to rebel., Revelation 12:9, "The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."
What influence do evil angels have? They struggle against those who are good. Ephesians 6:12,"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
What will be the final destiny of Satan and his evil angels? Matthew 25:41, "Then He will say to those on his left, 'Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'"

I know we all have angels assigned to us. I know I must have alot to keep me under control. Thank you OUR Almighty God!
This fact is evident from the architecture of the time. Roman.
I look forward to one day joining the angels in a song of praise and worship to God...
After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.
They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures.
They fell down down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!" (Revelation 7:9-12).
Can you imagine what this will be like? Over 100 million angels and untold millions of the redeemed, singing praises to God in perfect unity and harmony.
God bless, sister!
Ephesians 6:12 brought back some memories.
