Angels Part 2

Senator Rob, just a few years ago, I went back to the next morning while his roommate was still asleep. He thought, I'm going to go and I'm going to try this. I'm going to go and there's hardly anybody there. I'll be able to try this just in practice. So he went there. And the next morning when he found was that there was nobody on the beach. And he found that the parking lot was completely empty. His vehicle was the only vehicle in the parking lot. And so he thought, good, you know, it's just me, my short, he had a wet suit. He said, it's just me, it's my shorts and my cheesy styrofoam fine. So he was excited, but he didn't notice that the waves seemed to be a little under the deuter the afternoon before. And nevertheless, he went out there and he did the duck dives and he was hot, you know, he'd go underwater and he'd make some progress and he'd get waves forward to the deck. He'd duck dive and he paddled out there with all his heart.

And even so, he was able to get the seats off, you know, and he touched the waves with his foot.

Well, he waited for the right moment and the wave swelled and then he found himself, you know, starting to rise to the top of the wave. And all of a sudden came over him and just pushed him down deep into the water. In fact, all the way down to the ocean deck, he was down deep and he was struggling. He was running out of boxes of meat so he could, his arm was long separated.

And so he's getting up to the top to get a breath because as long as he could be firstly blacked up air, he takes a quick breath and wham! All of a sudden another wave slams him down, again close to the bottom of the wave. Now, the wheel exits and he's out. He didn't get the breath of meat. He got one foot and that did. He was dying for him to be first. And he had to realize that this is a pretty powerful ocean and these are very powerful labels. In the English now, he was spending a little more money to get his body full of one of the evolution. He had to attach his ankles so he could have something going on to help him float and talk in circles. He got to the surface the second time and then he was signed again. Hardly got a chance to get the breath of meat. And now with the fighting with him, he's fighting everything and he's a strong swimmer. He begins to realize that most of the moving weight is not very much positive and he realizes that this is how it's comfortable where his life is going to end. He was beginning to actually accept the fact that there's not much he can do. He came up for that last time just expecting to be signed again and what he found was a man, a comedy, sitting on a surfboard. He said, I think you could use this. And he handed him his bodyboard. He started performing. And Rob said, you know, with all the turmoil, with all the case he does with performing, he said he was so calm. In fact, it didn't seem like this third floor was even longer. And he was calm. He was wearing a wet suit and he said, here, my friend, I believe you can use this. He said, I had onto it and held it as if my life depended on it because I'm usually broke and ill. And it wasn't long before he was able to get safely to the floor. And he wanted to thank him because of he realized that this man had just saved his life. But there was nobody there.

There was nobody there. In fact, he sat there, and to start with a comment, because of the experience of just what the drill did, they eventually started to get better. So he waited for a time for this man to come in and run a war. And there was no more war. In fact, there was still no powers in parking on himself. And they only put Prince in the sand with the books.

He said, I want to make sure I get this right in your mind. He said, I realized, said after nearly an hour, I walked back in my truck with a peaceful and humble feeling in my heart. I found out later that I was cognizant. That's why nobody was there. It was not the time to be surfing for volumes of time. That's why nobody was there. He said, I found out later over the Riptide, which are notorious in that area at that time the English. And I hope my life is off. And I cannot thank him enough for sending an email to help me. So last time I was here, we started at first of a two-part series on angels. And so we're going to pick it up here a little bit. We're going to talk about angels which are a very important part in creation of God. We're going to see that they were created for a purpose. They were created for a purpose that was very helpful to fulfill in part by God's name. For those of you that may not have been here last time, we talked about the fact that today there are a lot of people that have a different topic and ideas about what angels are like. And because we're surrounded in a sense by a lot of different multimedia of how they are projected, of how they look. And not all of these things are fully accurate to the scripture. So we want to take a look at what scripture has to say. We talked about last time about the fact that some people view angels as babies. Some people view angels as young children, as young boys or young girls. And yet as we look through the scripture, the scripture tells us a little bit about, and God reveals to us, about how they do it and how they manifest themselves and also what their purpose is. We covered a few points last time. One of the points we covered, although through these rather quickly, this is going to be for most of you, is that number one, that one of the things that angels have a responsibility for is being message-y. That they bring a message from God and they don't speak their own words, even God's words. We looked at several examples of this.

We covered Luke chapter 1 beginning in verse 11, where it talks about an angel, Gabriel was sent to John the Baptist's father, the father of some of his recent movies, in the temple, telling him that he and his wife had a very bad picture and that they were going to bear a son. And that this son was going to have some pretty important responsibilities. So an angel delivered that message. We covered last time also Luke chapter 1 verses 28 to 38.

That an angel was sent to Mary, the mother of Jesus, telling her that even though she wasn't married and had not known a man, that she too was going to bear a son. That his name would be called Jesus, which he was singing with. And so we talked about an angel coming to the mother of Samson. And again, she had not had a child. If she was going to bear a son, he was going to be the littler of God's people with him to throw off the shackles and chains of the Philistines for the years that they had been to the house. And so, pressuring over and over and over again, he is relaxed.

We covered a second point. That angels, when they manifest themselves, they only appear as men. What a young man. Not as babies. Not as women. Not as young people. Not as young children. Not as young girls. It is young men. How men? We covered Genesis chapter 18, where there were three of them. And two of them were angels. And they were all three of them. And that example, a period of men. We covered Genesis chapter 19, where what? And hence, Matthew was visited by these two angels. And even the crowds that saw these two beings come, they said, where are the two men that came to you this evening?

And so we covered several other scriptures, too. We covered Matthew chapter 16, when Mary Magdalene rose into the tomb, the empty tomb. And then there's a young man that pressed in light. That's the name Jadim. He's an angel of means. And so we see all of these examples. And so many others, according to the earliest, too, when we had this vision, and the angel spoke to him, talks about the next chapter. I think it was chapter 10 that he refers to the vision of his angels, because he had its man to be told the new one. We covered also a third point, a third point about the fact that angels are extremely numerous. We covered a couple of scriptures, Daniel chapter 7 verses 9 and 10, talking about that they're in a vision that Daniel has seen a million angels ministering to the ancient days who sat on the throne. And that there were 10 million angels that were around the throne. So a million were ministering, helping him. And 10 million were around God's throne. Also, those same numbers are mentioned in Revelation chapter 5 and verses 11 and 12. And also, Hebrews chapter 12 and verses 21 and 22 talk about the innumerable number of angels, so many that you can't count. So we understand at Point Number 3 that there are three numbers of angels. Point Number 4 we covered that angels are not to be worshiped. They're not to be worshiped. And we covered several scriptures here, a couple of ones here. Revelation chapter 22 verses 69, where John was having this vision and this angel was talking to him. And his presence was so extraordinary that John, the Apostle John, wanted to fall down and worship the feet of the angel. And the angel said, don't do that. It says in Revelation chapter point 2 verse 9, see that you do not do that. I am your fellow servant. I'm a servant of God too, basically what he's saying, just like you.

Don't do that, but worship God. So he reflected the attention off of himself and he said, don't do this, which is worship not. So he pointed the attention to God. We saw in Colossians chapter 2 verse 18 that there was a false, all the self-parasy that was beginning to come into the first century of church where people were beginning to worship. And so we read there in Colossians chapter 2 verse 18, don't let anyone cheat you from the reward, taking delight in false humility and the worship of angels. Don't do that. That's what the scriptures tell us. In fact, we see in Nehemiah chapter 9 and verse 6 that the angels actually worshiped God. So they worshiped God. Not only were they not to be worshiped, but they themselves worshiped God. And it said, they're the host of heaven, worship's youth. And angels are the heavenly host.

We also covered in Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 6 where it says, in referring to Jesus Christ, it says, let all the angels worship Him, or worship Him, referring to Jesus Christ.

So the angelic beings also worshiped God. And they also worshiped Jesus Christ, just like the human being. So they're not to be worshiped, but they themselves worshiped Him. We also talked last time when we hear that the angels served God. They are servants. They are ministering spirits. They serve God. They serve God's people. They help God's people. We read several examples of that in the scripture. Last time, we talked about how they opened the gates of the prison for the disciples to be able to get up.

And it was thought of as they were the possible realization of the angelic that they needed to be the pain in the weapon of the night. So they help to serve God. So we talked about that. That was point in the Bible.

So let's continue on because there are a lot of different aspects about these spirit beings that God has created that are there, that He has made, that are real. There's something for us to understand. You really are equipped with what this is. So let's take a look at the six points where we begin now. The second session is part two. Point number six, when it comes to the angelic needs, is that the angels are God's army. The angels are God's army. They're just spiritual army.

You know, when we talk about, we hear a phrase sometimes, and I've heard that a lot, but I'm not sure if I'm going to read this. Maybe you've heard the phrase, the Lord posts. The Lord posts, and you've heard that phrase as a human, so the word posts. And it's mentioned that phrase over and over and over again in the Old Testament. The New Testament plays a little bit differently because it means the same thing, but it means it's a different word. It says, the Lord of Sabaeyah, something like Sabbath, but it's not. Sabaeyah, but it means the same thing as the Lord of Courts. But what does the Lord of Courts mean? What does the word posts mean? So we take the look at that phrase because it has a lot to do with the angelic realm here. First of all, the word posts in the Old Testament can also be, and it is, translated, armors. Armors. The Lord of Armors is also called that to be translated. The Lord of Hosts can also be translated, armies, and it is in other parts of the Scripture. And in the New Testament, the Greek word, which is Sabaeyah, also means armies. And it's a military epithet, which is a word of grace, of God. So we see then that the word posts refers to the armies of God. Now let's identify a little bit who the Lord posts is, and I think we know this, but it's good to see in Scripture. Let's go over to Jeremiah 32 and verse 13. Jeremiah 32.

Verse 15. Because who is the Lord over whose armies? Who is the Lord? Jeremiah 32.

We'll look at it up here in verse number 15. Jeremiah 32. And verse number 15.

For thus says the Lord of Hosts. So whoever this Lord of Hosts is, he's about ready to say some words to us here. Thus says the Lord of Hosts, verse 15, the God of Israel. So that's who the Lord of Hosts is. He's the God of Israel. He's not necessarily the God of ISIS.

The Lord of military armies is the God of Israel. And a lot of times we've overseas and we say, why the God of Israel? What about the God of Israel? What about the God of the United States? Why the God of Israel? We have to talk about that. Well, this is the God who made it. So we can read here. It says, for thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. So let's go on to verse number 17.

Ah, Lord God, behold, you have made the heavens and the earth. So it's the God of Israel that has made the heavens and the earth. No other God but the God of Israel. And of course, the church is the Israel of God. So it doesn't matter, Old Covenant, New Covenant, we God and made the heavens and the earth is the God of Israel. We are, as the church, the Israel of God right now, whether the Old Covenant or the New Covenant. It says, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power. No, it's not. There is nothing too hard for you. So we see the Lord of Hosts is the God of Israel. He's the one who's created the heavens and the earth. And he did this by his great power and there's nothing too hard for him. So God is the Lord of Hosts, the Lord of Military over Military Armaments. Let's go to 2 Kings here. There's a really fascinating Scripture here. 2 Kings chapter 6. We're going to take a look at a story here. We're going to see God's angelic realm, his heavenly host in action here. He utilized his angelic means to type spirit of knowledge. So let's take a look at 2 Corinthians or 2 Kings chapter 6.

And we're going to pick it up here in verse number 8. So let's set the stage here a little bit.

Israelized at the beginning to fall away from God, so God has begun to do the thing to punish them.

And so he's allowed Assyria to become a powerful nation. He's going to use Assyria as the rod of his anger. He's going to punish his people. He's going to spank them with this rising power of Assyria. So let's take a look. It says 2 Kings chapter 6 and verse 8. Now the king of Syria was making war against Israel. And he consulted with his servants and he said, my camp will be in such and such a place. And the man of God, who we'll see in a moment, is Elisha. And the man of God sent to the king of Israel saying, beware that you don't pass this place because the Syrians are coming down there. So it's like this king of Syria has this plan. But it's like Elisha keeps telling what the plan is to the king of Israel so that he'll be okay. He'll be safe. And so this king of Syria is trying to get a little frustrated here. It says in verse 10 in the king of Israel said, so what is that place for which the man of God had told him? And thus he warned him that he was watchful there, not just once or twice. So this happened several times. Verse number 11. So the king of Syria is pretty frustrated. The heart of the king of Syria says, he was greatly troubled by this saying and he called those servants and he said, if you do not show me which of us here is the king of Israel, someone is letting the king of Israel know our plans. He gets his counsel together. He says, okay, tell me, tell me, which of you here is talking to the king of Israel?

Basically what he's saying. Verse number 12. And one of his servants said, none of us, my lord or king, but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, he tells the king of Israel the words that you speak and the private chambers. You can think of all of them in your own private bedroom, but Elisha, the prophet of God, is telling the king of Israel what you are saying in your own private rooms. Verse number 13. So the king of Syria said, well go and see where he is. We're going to take care of this. And that I may send and get him. And it was told him saying that Elisha surely is in darkness. So the king of Syria said, horses. He sent chariots. He sent up great armies to hit one person. This is all going through because Elisha is the troublemaker here, it's hard to think of. Sirius, he sent a great army and they came by the night and they surrounded the city.

Then the servant of the man of God rose early and he went out and there was an army surrounding the city with chariots and horses. And so the servant of Elisha sees this and he says to Elisha, now what is he doing? A last master he says, verse 15, what shall we do? So Elisha answers his servant and says, don't do it. Because those who are with us are more than those who are with us.

At first that probably didn't make sense to the servant of Elisha because, oh really, I'm looking around and I don't see what you're seeing. I see a bunch of Syrian armies, mighty armies and horses and chariots. And Elisha prayed, verse 17, and he said, Lord, I pray, you open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw when he was in the sea, when God opened his eyes, he saw a mount that was full of horses and chariots of fire. The other scriptures talk about the angels or ministers of God and the fire. And so we see here that God's armies were also there. There's mountainous forces and chariots of fire all around Elisha. So we see here God's army's redemption. But they're there, not always seen, sometimes visible, sometimes not visible. And I know some of those that have gone through World War II, I've talked to some of our veterans and heard stories about how the tide was changed in certain battles during World War II, where it seemed like the Germans were fleeing when there was no evening.

But later on they said they saw an armed force.

And we heard the great numbers of soldiers that came with it. And so the Americans were deported. And possibly sometimes because God was fighting the battle. Because it was not yet time for this regime to become powerful to the strong. And it was time for the new world to come. And so he sent his angelic ground. Let's go to 2nd Kings chapter 17, verse number 7.

See another example here. 2nd Kings chapter 17, verse 7.

That's a part here that's further down in the Scriptures. We'll see another example here.

God's spiritual army. It says, For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord. We first saw that already. Who had brought them out of the land of Egypt? From other the king and of the king of Egypt. And they feared other gods. And they walked in the statutes of the nations who the Lord had passed out from before the children of Israel and of the king of Israel were saved. So they began to worship the same false gods that the nations had been worshiping before they were removed. Because they were doing that, God brought his people in. Now his people were getting the worship of false gods. Let's jump to verse number 13.

Yet we see the mercy of God. God testified against Israel and against Judah and by all of his prophets and by every seer, saying, Don't continue to do this. Turn from where he will wait and keep my commandments and my statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, which I have sent to you, my servants to promise. So God's mercy, he keeps sending messengers saying, What turn from this path that you decided to go on? And remember the history here, the two kingdoms had already split. So we had the northern ten tribes of Israel in the north, and we had a couple of tribes in the south of Egypt. So we've got two different kingdoms here, but they're both going first with your God in this particular case. Verse 14, Nevertheless, both kingdoms and Israel and Judah, they wouldn't hear, but they sniffed their necks like the necks of their fathers, who did not believe in the blood of their God. And they rejected his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers and his testimonies, which he testified against. And of course, they were following Paul's gods. Verse number 16, they left the commandments of their God. They even got to the point where they made golden images and two paths. So this golden path image keeps coming back in the history of God's people after the late Egypt. Verse 17, and they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire. And notice how far it went. They practiced witchcraft and sudsing, and they sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to need anger. So they had gotten to the point where now they made them provoke God to anger. It went so far. Verse 18, and the Lord was very angry with Israel, and he removed them from his sight. The Assyrians came down, they took these 10 tribes of Israel, and they removed them out of their land. God just went away, and they never came back.

They never returned. They were dispersed throughout the nations. Of course, possibly some of their descendants even came as far as the United States. They believed them. They started to chant. But there was none left the latter part of verse 18, but the tribe of Judah alone. And notice verse 19, and Judah wasn't keeping the commandments, neither. They were not walking in the commandments of the Lord their God, but they also walked in the statutes of Israel, which they had made. For God was now rejecting everyone, to calm the descendants of Israel, to use that Jesus and the one. And he afflicted them, and he delivered them into the hand of plunders, and so he passed them from his sight. In verse 23, we jump there and talk about the 10 tribes of the 30 or the 30, and never returned, as it is as it sounds in this way.

But then something happens. So the kingdom that's left, the kingdom of Judah, there comes a righteous kingdom. It is a kingdom of God. The kingdom of Judah, the one in chapter 18. Chapter 18, 2nd Kings. And so the kingdom of Judah, the third year of Oshea, the son of Elah, the kingdom of Israel, that has a conduct. The son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began the reign.

He was 25 years old, verse 2 talks about, when he started the reign. He was born in Jerusalem, and he did that with right and sight to the Lord. According to all that his father David had done. Notice some of the things he did in verse 4. He removed the high places. He broke the pillars, the sacred pillars of Paul's son. He cut down a wooden image. He broke in pieces the drawn surface that Moses had made because they were starting to worship it. And so he began to realize that he had to stop.

Because it says, until the days of the children of Israel, they burned incense to the wind, and they called it mesh of them. They were calling it by a different name. And the first verse 5 talks about, who trusted God. Verse 6 says, he kept God's commandments. But now let's understand, we've got a changing of the dynamics of world powers. Syria has gone to great power, and they've already renewed the ten tribes of Israel, taken out of Sameri.

And they dispersed into other places. Now, the province, and the kingdom of Israel, is left. But thankfully, because of a righteous king, something happens, and God intervenes. Let's notice 2nd Kings chapter 18 in verse number 17. It says, then the king of Assyria sent three people, the last one of the one we'll focus on, because he's the spokesman. He sends a delegation to talk to the king of Judah and to the people of the city. It says, then the king of Assyria, verse 17, said, And when they come up, they went and they stood by the aqueduct in the upper floor, which was on the high level.

And the king of Assyria, verse 17, said, The king of Assyria, verse 17, said, What do you think that they have in mind? They're a powerful link. They've got a powerful audience. It says, they went up to Jerusalem on verse 17, And when they come up, they went and they stood by the aqueduct in the upper floor, which was on the high level.

The foolish people. And when they had called the king, Deliachim, the son of Yochai, who was over the household, achievement of the scribe, and Joachim, the son of Gesach, the reporter, they came out to meet him. So three of the king's men came out, came himself around. He sent three of his delegation. And what happens? Well, Matthew, verse 19, the scribe's going to begin his escape.

And he says, say now to Hezekiah, You're going to take this word back to your king? This is what I want you to come to. Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, Assyria. What confidence is in this interest?

You speak of heavy plans and power of war, for they are mere fools. Who do you trust that you rebel? So we know that Hezekiah trusted him enough, and he wasn't about to be overcome by this Assyrian empire. Let's jump to verse number 26. It says in these three of the king of Judah's delegation, They said to Rapshika, Well, please seek your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. But do not speak to us in Hebrew, as many of the people who are on the wall.

So the king of Judah's delegation is saying, When you talk to us, don't speak in our native tongue of Hebrew, because now all the people of Hebrew are being heard. Speak to us in Aramaic, because that way only we'll understand what we have to take from us in Aramaic. Rapshika, in verse 27, is not going to speak in Aramaic. He says, Has my master sent me to your master, and to speak these words, and not to all the men who sit on the wall, who will eat and drink their own ways to the kingdom?

In other words, if you don't know what we're just going to say, we're going to start with you up. We're going to be listening to you. Verse 28, When Rapshika stood, and he followed up with a loud voice of Hebrew, so his microphone didn't come and speak in Aramaic, he didn't speak in Hebrew, so that all the people could hear him. And what did he say?

He said, in verse 28, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria, thus says the king, Don't let Hezekiah deceive you. He shall not be able to deliver you from his hand. Don't let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord. The Lord's post, he's talking about. Saying, The Lord will surely deliver us. This city shall not be given in the hand of the king of Assyria. Don't believe that it is going to be given in his hand to the king of Assyria.

Verse 31, Don't listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria, make peace with me. A presence gives something to me, with whom you will all do so, your absence. And then every one of you shall eat from his own mind, and every one from his own picture, and every one of you shall drink the water of his own sister. And fill like hell, verse 32, and take away into a land like your own land. So we're going to take you out of here. We're going to take you away from your home land, just like we did before you.

We're going to remove you from this place. But we want to be at your roots. And we're going to take you to your own, a different land, a land of drain and new wine. Oh, it sounds good. A land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive grove and honey, that you may live and not die. But don't listen to Hezekiah, lest he persuade you, saying that the war is on you. Wow. So we've got this confrontation potentially about where we've moved into. Verse 33, And as any of the gods of the other nations have they delivered them?

You know, look around at history recently, we've known that the King of the series has helped them all these other nations and they've looked to their gods and their gods where they delivered them. And I'm going to give you this before the Lord to join the inter-future of the month. Verse 34, Where are those gods of Eden and our back? And where are the gods of Sermon, of Pena, and Einim, and of St.

Paul's God? He delivered some very well from my hand. So look where some of them called St. Paul's. They do ten times in the living. They do deliver them. Verse 5, Who among all the gods of the lands have delivered their countries from my hand, that the Lord is going to deliver them? So the other gods are going to persuade them that they will deliver them. Why do you think the Lord is going to deliver them?

Verse 36, If the people held their peace, they didn't answer a word. If the king's commandment was, no answer. So they suspected he was going to speak with them. So when he talks, they don't answer a word. And so they would. But it says at the very end, verse 37 here, Then these three delegates of Mesakai came back, and they told Mesakai with their toils formed.

You realize this was serious news. They pulled their clothes, and they told the king all the words of rapture. Let's go to 2 Kings 19, verse 1. Now, if King Mesakai heard this, he realized it was serious.

Serious news. Before his voice. Which is a way of feeling God, humming himself before God, and he went to pray. He was a lover. The very Lord that this rapture had said, He was going to trust me. And he went into the house of the Lord, verse 1. In any sense, verse 2, there was trust of the Riser's. And they came to him, in verse 3, they said, And this is what Mesakai said, This is the day of trouble, and review.

And blasphemy. What does that mean, blasphemy? The children have found the birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth. The burden says in verse 4, It may be that the Lord your God will hear all the words of rapture, whom the master, the king of Assyria, has sent to reproach, not the king of Judah, but the reproach of the living God.

The king of Assyria's delicate rapture has grasped the true God. Verse number 5. So the servants of King Hamid's of Isaiah are weakly propped to the working of the reports of the rapture. They are weakly propped to the not-summing people. Verse 35. When the angel passed on a certain night, notice that the angel and the Lord were not wanting to come back, wanting to live. As are the angel of the Lord went after him, killed him in the hand of the Assyrians one hundred, and the king of Assyria was able to take him.

So, in verse 36, the king of Israel became of Assyrian and fired by the good side, and he went away in return. In another scripture, a terrible scripture that puts in a conical thought about that he would shame the saints. He was embarrassed because of the loss of Matthew.

So we see an example of God's army, just how powerful what evil could be, slain a hundred and five hundred troops. Let's go over to Daniel 6 to give you an example. God's angelic ground protected us. A powerful army.

And there are a lot of them. Daniel chapter 6. This is a pretty good language story here, about the story of Daniel. He went right after the book of Ezekiel. And the fact that Daniel found himself in a pretty difficult situation. Daniel chapter 6.

Remember the king at that time, actually, it was very close to Daniel. Daniel was an advisor to the king at that time. And there were others that were advisors to the king. And there was no answer to Daniel. So they tricked the king into proclaiming the free. But anyone would pray that anyone else besides the king for 30 days would be able to go to the running place. Remember Daniel's practice was to pray for the king to live. And so even after the free was made of Daniel and Louis, still as the practice was, he prays it up.

Because we know, and we didn't change anything, we didn't try to hide him from the forces of Daniel. And so we said, see then that the king was forced, because the law and the law, the king was forced to put Daniel into the man's den. First, number 15, we'll pick it up in chapter 6, verse 15. And these jealous men approached the king and said, The king, no, king, it's the law of the means of perduce, and had no decree or statute, which the king has established in his union. So the king gave the command, the rough man cast him into the denim lines, and the king spoke, saying, Daniel, Lord God, human, you serve continually, you obey me.

So the king understood that God had the power to deliver him, and God indeed did. First, number 18, when the king went to his palace, remember, he even spent the night fasting, he couldn't sleep, and the long night, and the hungry, and he couldn't sleep. So he went from there. Then he rose very early in the morning, verse 19, and went in the gates of that den of lions, and came with the dandy credit, or the mending voice, to Daniel.

And the king said, Daniel, Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve, continually been able to deliver you from the lions, and the king, Daniel answered the king, and he said, Oh, king, let forever my God, sent his king. So God often utilizes his angelic realm, not only to fight the spiritual battle, but also to provide protection to his king. And so that's how God did this time with Daniel. He sent the angel, shut up, and walk down to the lions, so that they could not be made fun of the animal. So we'll see some of those examples.

You know, I'll just refer for time, because there are so many different scriptures. I'm going to refer for time that we know it, and if you can write this down. The end of chapter 24, verses 30 and verses 31, talks about the fact that when Christ returns, that he's going to come with his armies.

He's going to come with his angelic realm, and they're going to be driven up to the side. They're going to gather up all of God's collect and all the winds at that time. So those are some of the things that happen. I'll also refer for time to Daniel chapter 12, in verses 1 and 2, talking about an animal in age, and that God is going to use one of his archangels, Michael, to help his people. In fact, let's just turn there. Let's go to the room, Daniel. Let's go to Daniel chapter 12, and we'll pick it up here in verse number 1.

It's the prophecy of the out time. Daniel chapter 12, in verses 1 and 2, says, at that time, Michael shall stand up, but great friends can stand watch over the sons of your people. So that's a responsibility that Michael has, to stand watch over God's people. You know, we know the Scriptures talk about how important he was for his.

And so that's a responsibility to God, to think that Michael should watch over the sons of God's people. Because there's going to be a time in trouble that goes on to say, as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time, your people shall be delivered. So God's angelic realm will be utilized to deliver his people at that time. All right, let's go on to another point here. Point number 7. We talked about God's angelic realm being his armies, his host. And he's the supreme military commander over all of these multiple innumerable armies of angelic realm.

Let's take a look at point number 7. Angels are created, please. They are created. Let's go over to Psalm chapter 1, chapter 8. And we'll see that, rather than just assume that's true. Let's go over to Psalm chapter 1, chapter 8. Excuse me, 1, 4, and 4. Psalm chapter 1, 48. And we'll pick it up in verse number 1. We'll see that they had a beginning.

Now, God and the Word had no beginning. No end. And we understand that in Scripture, the angels had a beginning. It was a time when they did not exist. So they're created beings who saw the beginning. Psalm chapter 1, 48, and verse 1. Psalm 148, verse 1. Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord from the heavens and from the heights. Praise Him all His angels. So that's a responsibility that God has given me, that we all have as part of His creation. His creation in the angelic realm is to praise God as we are. And also, of course, to honor and worship Him as we go His own way. Praise Him all of His hosts. Again, referring to all of these military armies in the angelic realm. Praise Him sun and moon. Praise Him all of you stars of life.

Praise Him, you heavens and heavens and you waters above the heavens. Let them, referring to everything that was mentioned, let them praise the name of the Lord for He commanded and they were created. And so all the things that we see in verses 1 through 4, God commanded and created them. And that, of course, includes the angelic realm. Now, when would the angelic realm be?

When did that take place? Well, let's go to Job chapter 38 and verse number 4. Job chapter 38 and we'll pick it up in verse number 4. We'll see that they were created before the earth was created. Exactly how long? We don't necessarily know. You know before the earth was created. It was before our human parents were created. Job chapter 38 and verse 4. If you remember now, God is beginning to speak to Job here.

He's beginning to give his attention because Job is kind of a little bit on the self-righteous side. God doesn't understand and so much of it all. He's going to discuss everything within and then God begins to address things in Job. He says in verse 4, he says, Well, where were you, though, when I laid the foundations of the earth? You seem to know so much. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know, as college member of the government.

Surely you know. Or who stretched the line of conduct. And where were its foundations and fantasy? Who laid its cornerstone? You know, this Lord sits in space and spends all these things that are working for God's death. And then he goes on to say, And when the morning stars sang together, So when the angelic realm saw this creation, Then they just couldn't help but shout for joy, Because of the beauty that they were witnessing with God in them.

And the morning stars sang together, And all the sounds of God shouted for joy. So we know the angelic realm was there before the earth was clear, Because it shouted for joy when we saw how beautiful they were once. Let's just turn over to the detailed chapter 28, Mr. And this is talking about, of course, Lucifer.

He was created a righteous angel decay to manipulate his time and will. You'll see here, I'm talking about that in this context. So we'll pick it up here as verse number 14. He said, you are an evil, the God who God, every precious stone, but as your covenant. This artist, over at a diamond in the barrel of the army, suggests it. And he talks about the walking ship. And he says, of the two girls in the pipes, it was prepared for you.

Someone did something for you. It prepared you. This is all prepared for you on the day that you were created. So we see that even Lucifer, of course, is part of the angelic realm that's created. We'll also notice in verse 14 that you would be anointed carer who covets. We don't have time to cover that today, but there are different angelic beings. There's Michael, who was listed as the friar of the angel.

There's Lucifer, who talks about the fact that he was a king. Now, the same as in Matthew, if he was a king, you would be anointed carer who is for two of his sinners. I, for God, established you, and created you. You were on the holy mountain of God. You walked back and forth in the midst of the fiery stones. You were in a special place. You were on God's feet and on the feet. You were perfect in your ways for the day you were created.

So, again, we understand that we don't, Lucifer, and what's created all the angelic ground that's to really exist because of God and because of the river. It's the same with us. They exist as a creative human. Who created the angel? Well, let's go over to Coladians chapter 1, verse number 15.

Coladians chapter 1. We'll pick it up in verse number 15.

The context is talking about Jesus Christ, and verse 14, but he wiped out the handwriting which was against this because he was crucified. He was taken out of the way of the cross. So, we're talking about our city, let's pick it up now in verse number 15. In 30 pages of Christ, it says, I'm on the chapter 2. Sorry about that. We're still talking about Christ, but that was in chapter 2. Verse number 15. He is the image of the invisible God. So, we know that that's referring to Christ. He's the firstborn over all creation. If you notice, for by Him, all things were created that are in heaven and that are on the earth. So, we see that God the Father has created all things through Jesus Christ. Whether they are things that are in heaven, or things on the earth. Notice, whether things that are visible or invisible. Whether it's roles, or dominions, or principalities, or powers. All things were created through Him, which can be formed. Sometimes, it's tough for us to wrap our minds about it. Jesus Christ is the one that created God the Father, used to pray to each other. Including His people. And the demonic God, who turned away from death. So, when Jesus had that confrontation, you know, with singing, after Matthew chapter 4. To me, he was having a confrontation with somebody with people actually. Because we have people that are just here. We're still on point number 2, that angels are created to be, as they have the meaning. And also, a subtle point here is that they are spirit beings. Look at the creative question of the divine. There's spirit beings, and also talks about the flames of fire. Let's notice that in Hebrew chapter 1, verse number 6. Hebrews chapter 1, verse number 6.

You see, in the angelic realm, are the ones that were with God. Hebrews chapter 1, verse 6. It says, when he, again, brings the first one in the world, he says, Let all the angels of God worship Him. So, we see the God, the Father, the Man, and so the angelic realm, the worship of the Son. The worship of the Son. The angel of the God and the worship of the Son. Verse number 7. And of angels, he says, who makes his angels spirits. So, they were created as spirit beings, right from the beginning. Very different from the angel of the God. And sometimes that's how they manifest themselves. It talks about the angel appeared the same as the parent. In a way, they were welcome to God, but at that age, they were welcome to attend the man's attending prayer. And so, we see that they are spirit beings, and all things manifest themselves in a possible way. They're both some way apart. Let's look at another support here about angel being created beings. And at this time, they have greater power than the angel. They have greater power than the angel. Let's go back to the psalm in the book. There are a lot more powerful than the angel. At least, they're men. Psalm almost there.

Let's pick it up in verse number 19.

We see that the Lord has established His throne in Him, and His kingdom rules over all. It says, what's the Lord? You, His angels. So, again, it talks about honoring Him, praising Him, and blessing Him, His angels, who excel in strength. So, they have a lot of power. The angelic realm. It says, they excel in strength. We've already talked about how just one angel was able to destroy 185,000 of the series, and all trained the series of soldiers. They didn't have a chance to mark on Jerusalem, which they had it in front of the Jews. Who excel in strength, who do His word. So, we see that they obey God. The angelic realm, well, at least, it's the good angels. And we've got to do not if angels did not. Who do His word, notice heating the voice of His word. Without angels evading Him, who listen to Him, who eat His word. See, obey Him. Verse number 21, here in Psalm 103. Bless the Lord all you folks and ministers of His who do His pleasure. And so, again, the angelic realm, the minister to God, the servants of His, and they do His pleasure. Verse 22, bless the Lord all His works, talking about everything He's made to create, which we're part of it. The angels are part of the works of God's hands, they're created units. Verse 22, bless the Lord all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord all you folks. So, he talks about the angels, obey Him, God, they do His pleasure. Let's notice here, as created spirit beings, though, and we've kind of tied in a little bit, that man is made a little lower than the angels, for right now. Man is a little lower than these powerful beings, for right now. Let's go over to Hebrews chapter 2 in verse 5, but that's what we're teaching. Hebrews chapter 2, verse 5.

And God's plan that they be servants, are those that will be heirs of salvation. Hebrews chapter 2, verse 5. For He has not put the world to common, which we speak in subjection to the angels. So, there's an ancient common, for the world to come. God is not going to put the world to the angels. Verse 6, the one testified in a certain place, but what is in hand? That you are mindful of Him, or the Son of Man, that you take care of Him. Though the time is coming, when God's Son and His daughters will be born, the angelic will be a sense subject to them. When the world will come, the time will be set in the name of the God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the bride of Christ, we have put the Son and His daughters to God. Verse 7, for you have made Him a little lower than the angels. You know how powerful those beings are? You know, we're not much lower than them, but we are lower, right? A little lower than the angels. Yet, you have crowned Him, referring to man, with glory and honor, and you have set Him forward towards the angels. Not the angelic value, but the Son of Man's daughters. Okay, let's go to point number 8. Point number 8. Angels do not hire Him. Jesus do not marry Him. You don't spend a lot of time on some of these terms here. Angels do not marry Him. No worry in the future. Let's notice that in Mark chapter 12 and verse number 18. Mark chapter 12 and verse number 18.

It says that some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, they came to Jesus and they asked Him, saying, Well, teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and has no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise her offspring to his brother. So, they go through a scenario where one man died, and then there were seven brothers, and they each took, well, let's just read the story here. Verse 20, there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and he died. He left no offspring. The second left no offspring. All the way through the seven. None of them left any offspring. The last of all the women died as well. So, in the resurrection, who's going to have her as wife? Which of the seven are going to have his wife? And Jesus said, and answered them in verse 24, Are you not mistaken? Because you don't want the scriptures, nor the power of God. Because when they rise through the dead, verse 25, they neither marry nor are given the range, but they are like angels still in heaven. So, there'll be no marriages going on among God's people on the resurrection. The angels don't marry. And let's notice also the interest cannot die. Let's go ahead and look at chapter 20 in verse 34. Look at chapter 20 in verse 34.

And we'll read out in verses 36. Look at 20 verse 34. Jesus answered the seven and said that the sons of this age married and are given the range. But those who have counted merely to a team that needs to come and the resurrection from the dead, they neither marry nor are given the range. So, this is the same thing that we just read in part. Jesus answered, nor can they die anymore. But they are people to the angels, and their right to some God means son of the resurrection. So, we understand that they do not want to be born. So, after they are created, as long as they are created, because son or not, they will not die anymore. I'll just refer to Daniel chapter 8 for time, verses 13 through 17. It talks about the time when Daniel was having a baby. And there's a voice that says to Daniel, Gabriel showed this name to the angel. So, we're talking about the angel that came to him at Gabriel's. Now, Gabriel turns up on the scene again about five, at least five, over 500 years later when he gave her the first and second time. So, the angels continue to exist after the Creator. And the flesh of God is in the other. At that point in time, mankind is on the way to the death of the human being. But here we're talking about five centuries later. Gabriel is still alive, and still alive, and still serving God. So, you see that the angels don't die. Our last point today, point number 10. Number nine was the angels do not die. Because the angels have choice. They have choice. Just like the those that they got, the good angels, saw their character changed. They saw their character peaked in the sex. Versus the bad angels, which chose to disobey God. Let's look at Jude chapter 1, verse 2, verse 6. Jude chapter 1, verse 6. Once the angels chose, and the sex, their character was locked in. Unlike man who could sin, and then repent, and repent, we have an opportunity to be restored, to be forgiven, and to go forward. Jude chapter 1, I guess there is only one chapter in Jude, verse 6. It says, and the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but they left their own abode. He has reserved an everlasting change under darkness for the judgment of the great day. So, there are other translations that say the angels did not keep their first escape. And what that has to do with it means they didn't keep their priorities, their precedents, their dignity, their rank. They fell from that. They fell from the responsibility that God had given them. They began to take on the responsibility of their own position. That God did not keep them. It wasn't his purpose. That wasn't the purpose they were supposed to have created. But they left their own habitation and attempted to rise higher. Putting their state, putting their focus, being unwilling to subject themselves to God. Especially the sciences. So, they left it. Let's notice 2 Peter chapter 2, which also talks about some of the evils of Jesus' choice. They made this decision. So, they have choice. Let's start doing that. 2 Peter chapter 2. And I picked it up in verse number 4. 2 Peter chapter 2. And verse number 4.

And we know that in verse 9, if you jump to verse 9 here, the Lord knows how to deliver the Godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment. So, those angels who sin in verse 4 are also the effect where they are present, as come in the future. So, we see here that the angels for death chose. Just like you and I. And that religious sin, just like you and I, have sinned with God. So, there's a lot more that we can cover, but that's all that we have the time to cover here. But just to review some of these things here. Number one, as far as the angels that they're messing with God, that they appear as men. They're innumerable. They are not to be worshipped. They themselves are to worship God. They are how to serve God, His people, and mankind. Let's finish up with one last scripture. Here's chapter one. In verse number 13. Here's our final scripture here. They're created beings. They don't marry. They cannot die. They do have choice. One of the main reasons that God created them was this. To serve God and to serve His children. Here's chapter one, verses 13 here and also in verse 13. So, which of the angels, verse 13, has He ever said, Sit by my hand, till I hate your enemies to your foot, and never say that thee have found their purpose? And this is their purpose here in verse number 14. Are they, referring to the angels, not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? In verse number 14, there's potential first fruits of the family of God. That is why the angelic realm is created. It's to minister to the future of someone, spirit, son and father to God. The first big responsibility is that who are we, in that sense, to be worthy of that. But they're there to protect, to help, and to be needed. Not to be worshipped, but we can certainly pray to God that God has imagined all of us to have. That time we've done trips, or need help and protection, or divine ambition, ask God to help us, and often He can utilize this angelic realm to be a just one.
