Angels!

This is more or less the Biblical version.......hope it helps You to evoke some thought. They were created by divine purpose, into immediate bliss for the specific job, their allotted time is eternal. Archangels don`t have the need to come into human form. Some other angels do some time, it`s a job requirement...but not Archangels.

An angel is a spirit created by God.They are ministers of His will, spiritual beings of heavenly residence. In the Old Testament 7 orders....I won`t go into them, some of them in detail. ...Archangels being one. Plus 2 others, the Seraphim and Cherubim....they are sort of like  princely titles of # 1 and # 2. Some of the 7 are quite negative, and were in fact defeated by Christ through His Crucifixion. An other story!

Because they behold the face of God, they are in continual spiritual bliss. They comprise the celestial court of God and are called angels...from the Greek meaning `messenger`. They carry out missions of God, they can also assume bodily form.

As soon as they were created they received grace and respond to God`s love, and are therefore in a continual blissful state.They did not have to mature, grow in time, they were objects of grace and love the moment of their creation.

Archangels appeared in critical times in Biblical history.They are princely Seraphim, messengers...who triumphed over Satan.

Michael the Archangel is the leader of the heavenly forces...he defeated Lucifer the rebelling angel...who`s name is`Bearer of the Light.

Archangel Gabriel appeared to announce the birth of John the Baptist, and Lord Jesus.

Archangel Raphael said `I am the Archangel Raphael, I am the one one of the 7 who stand before the throne of God`.

The Seraphim is the highest order of angels, they stand before God`s throne...praising God continually...with the words ``Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts``! They have 6 wings, two cover their faces, 2 cover their feet, and 2 used for flying.

Cherubim the next second highest order...manlike, double winged. They are guardians of God`s glory. They symbolise God`s power, mobility....they are the private attendants.
Then there are  other lesser angels.... the guardian angels of which one is assigned to each soul in human life... . My very brief angel history.


Love, Light, and ....many You have beautiful angels in Your life!
