Bible Study on Angels: Biblical Names, Purposes, Nature and More

W hat are the functions of angels? Do their names have to do with their job? What is the nature of angels? What does the Bible say about angels?

The Word Angel

The word angel is an infusion of an old English/Germanic word “engel” and the French word “angele”; both are taken from the Latin “angelus” that basically means “messenger of God.” The Bible clearly teaches that angels do exist and that we may have actually encountered them or will encounter them during our lives and we either may have realized it only later or may have not even realized it at all. Hebrews 13:2 exhorts believers to “not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” The principle is to treat everyone how Jesus Christ would treat them.

The Function of Angels

Angels have many assigned jobs that God has given them specifically to do. Even though they have free will, they bid to do God’s will alone. Some angels are assigned to worship God (Rev 4:1-11; Heb 1:6) while others are assigned to minister to believers as written in Hebrews 1:14 that angels are “ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation” whom have sometimes protected the saints (Psalm 91:11-12; Dan 6:22). Some even feel that every believer has their own angel assigned to them, so-called “ guardian angels ,” although we cannot be 100% certain of this fact (Matt 18:10; Acts 12:15). There is no doubt that angels have miraculously intervened on the behalf of Christians (Acts 5:19-20) and may help protect them in other ways (Matt 18:10) because Satan and his demons would love nothing more than to destroy us (1 Peter 5:8). Maybe that is why it’s said that angels are said to encamp around us (Psalm 34:7; 103:21) and there are plenty to go around for every believer. There are more than enough to help those who are saved because the number of angels is said to be uncountable, which may mean that they’re at least in the millions, if not more (Heb 12:22; Dan 7:10)

Angel Names and their Meanings

The angel named Gabriel means “strong man of God.”

The angel Michael has a specific rank as he is an archangel. His name literally means “who is like God?” The angel named Gabriel means “strong man of God.” He is also an archangel and like Michael, he has the highest rank among the angels of God. God frequently uses these powerful spirit beings because they may be needed as they may encounter resistance from fallen angels. One such experience was recorded in the Book of Daniel where “The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me [an angel] twenty-one days, but Michael [the archangel], one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days” (Dan 10:13-14). Here was a case of spiritual warfare from “the prince of…Persia” who held back this angel from delivering his message to Daniel in giving him the answer to his prayer. This “prince of Persia” could well have been the Devil himself, who is also one of the highest orders or ranks of angels and it took Michael the archangel to help get this message through.

Other angelic names are not known and if God had wanted us to know these names He would have ensured that we would have known by including them in the Bible. The fact that God does not give us a long list of angel’s names seems to indicate that God didn’t want us to focus too much attention on them but to focus exclusively on Him.

Angels are Spirit Beings

Since angels are spirit beings they cannot procreate. They cannot have children or get married (Mark 12:25; 22:30) since they do not have physical bodies (Heb 1:14). This does not mean that angels can’t appear in physical form, but it is only when God wills it and not when we pray for it or the angels desire to appear physically. Angels are always in subjection to God’s will and never, ever operate independently of His will. One thing about angels is that they are extremely powerful (Rev 18:21). There was a king in Judea who, when the people boasted that “this is the voice a god and not a man,” an angel who was jealous for the glory of God and He alone should be worshiped, struck him down immediately (Acts 12:21-23). On another occasion, some sexually immoral men in Sodom wanted to have sinful same-sex relations with two of Lot’s guests and not knowing that these two were actually angels, they blinded those who tried to break down Lot’s door to gain access to them (Gen 19:4-13).

Sadly, people have become preoccupied with angels and there are even monthly magazines devoted to people’s so-called experiences with angels. There are many that are so engaged in the study of angels that they come dangerously close to worshiping them, which is clearly sin (Col 2:6-19; Rev 19:10; 22:9). If an angel ever does appear in the Bible, they rebuke anyone who attempts to worship them and state that we are to worship only the Lord God. It is impossible to know just how many of these stories are legitimate and which are imagined but there is little doubt that many of us may have encountered angels. We may not have even been aware of it until later or we may have never known at all (Heb 13:2). If you are fascinated by angels, remember that God alone is worthy of our praise and we must focus on Him and Him only for He will not share His glory with another (Isaiah 42:8). God does sometimes use angels for our protection but their chief purpose is always to do the will of God. Unfortunately, there are some that ever pray directly to and even worship angels. This is idolatry and is a very serious sin for we must only pray to the Father alone, through Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit. That is the will of God and even the angels of God know this (Rev 19:10; 22:9).

Angels in the Bible – Explanation of 25 Bible Verses About Angels

Many people all over the world believe in angels. Some even worship them. But what does the Bible say about those spiritual beings? Let’s look at 25 Bible verses and what they teach us about those messengers of God.

1. Creation of Angels

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.” (Colossians 1:16 KJV)

The Bible states clearly that, as it is with all creatures, God created the angels as well (Nehemiah 9:6). It doesn’t mention which was the first angel ever created, though.

In Genesis chapter 2, before the Bible describes the creation of Adam and Eve, it says that “the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them” (Genesis 2:1 KJV). In a beautiful poetic language, Job 38:4-7 says that the angels (also called “sons of God” and “morning stars” in some Bible versions) “shouted for joy” (Job 38:7 KJV) when the Lord “laid the foundations of the earth” (Job 38:4 KJV).

Therefore, we can assume that they were created before all other living creatures, including human beings. But we cannot determine the precise moment when that happened. Scripture also tells us that God made humans “a little lower than the angels” (Psalm 8:5 KJV).

2. Characteristics of Angels

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14 KJV)

The Bible doesn’t give us many details about angels. From what the Bible does tells us about them, we can list a few of their characteristics:

Angels are spiritual beings (Psalm 104:4, Hebrews 1:14).
They inhabit the spiritual realm called heaven (Mark 13:32, Galatians 1:8).
They can be in only one place at a time (Daniel 10:11-14).
They are immortal. They were created at one point in time, but they don’t die (Luke 20:36).
They don’t marry (Matthew 22:30).

3. What Angels Look Like

“Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.” (Isaiah 6:2 NKJV)

We know that angels are spiritual beings. They don’t have physical bodies (Hebrews 1:14, Luke 24:39). However, the Bible presents a few different descriptions of angels:

Angels with human form: Genesis 18:1-3, Daniel 9:21, Luke 24:4-5.
Angels with wings: Exodus 25:20, 1 Kings 6:27, Isaiah 6:2.
Some impressive descriptions: Ezekiel 1:5-14, Matthew 28:2-3, Revelation 10:1-6.
In some cases, even though the angels looked like men, they still struck fear upon those who saw them (Judges 13:6, Luke 1:11-12,30, Luke 24:4-5).

4. Types of Angels

“So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.” (Genesis 3:24 KJV)

When the Bible talks about the heavenly hosts, it sometimes uses special words that indicate that there are different categories or types of angels:

Cherubim : they are mentioned in several texts, such as Genesis 3:24, Ezekiel 10:1-22, Psalm 18:10. There were two golden images of cherubims on the mercy seat, at the top of the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25:18-22, 2 Chronicles 3:7-14).
Seraphim : They are only mentioned in Isaiah 6:2-7. The text describes them like this: “each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew” (Isaiah 6:2 NKJV).
Archangel : this word is mentioned only twice in Scripture, both in the New Testament (1 Thessalonians 4:16, Jude 1:9). Michael is the only archangel named in the Bible (Jude 1:9). Note that this may not be a different type of angel, but a hierarchical position (Revelation 12:7-8).

Most biblical texts simply use the regular word “angel” when referring to these angelic beings.

5. Angels Interact with the Physical World

“But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth,” (Acts 5:19 KJV)

Even though angels are spirits (Hebrews 1:14), they can interact with the physical world. The Bible teaches that:

They are spirits, so they don’t have physical bodies like we do (Luke 24:39).
They cannot be seen by humans unless the Lord Almighty allows it (Numbers 22:31, 2 Kings 6:17, Luke 2:13-14).
They may take a bodily form and interact with human beings (Genesis 18:1-8, Luke 1:11-20,26-38).
They can affect the physical world when fulfilling a mission from God (Isaiah 37:36, Daniel 6:22, Acts 5:19).

6. The Power of the Angels

“Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.” (2 Peter 2:11 KJV)

Scripture tells us that the angels are very powerful (2 Peter 2:11, Revelation 10:1). It says that they “excel in strength” (Psalm 103:20 KJV). The prophet Daniel saw, in a vision, the angel Gabriel “fly swiftly” (Daniel 9:21 KJV). In Isaiah 37:36 and 2 Kings 19:35, one single angel defeated an army of a hundred and eighty-five thousand Assyrian soldiers.

7. The Protection Angels Give Us

“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.” (Psalm 91:11-12 KJV)

The Bible tells us that one of the tasks that God assigns to His angels is to protect those who fear Him (Psalm 34:7, 91:11-12). Here are some examples of angels sent by God to guard His people and His individual servants:

An angel of the Lord accompanied Israel during their travels from Egypt to the Promised Land (Exodus 14:19, 23:20).
God sent an entire army of angels that were ready to defend Elisha and his servant from the enemy’s soldiers (2 Kings 6:17).
Jesus Christ said that, if He called to His Father, there would be “twelve legions of angels” at His disposal to protect Him (Matthew 26:53 KJV). Of course, He didn’t do it because He needed to die on the cross to fulfill the Father’s plan and to pay for our sins.

We must not forget the example of Jesus, that was tempted by the devil to cast Himself down from the pinnacle of the temple (Matthew 4:5-7). Satan told Him that He should do it because God would send His angels to protect Him, quoting Psalm 91:11-12. Jesus responded: “It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God” (Matthew 4:7 KJV). So, we need to be careful not to abuse the promises of God and tempt Him.

8. Angels Fight Against Demons

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” (Revelation 12:7-8 KJV)

The Bible tells us that God’s angels fight against Satan’s angels, the demons. Here are a few examples:

The being identified as the prince of the Persian kingdom (according to many Bible scholars, this title refers to a high-ranking demon) fought the angel Gabriel for 21 days until the archangel Michael arrived to help him (Daniel 10:13-14).
Michael also fought the devil for Moses’s body (Jude 1:9).
Michael will lead God’s angels in the final battle against Satan and his demons (Revelation 12:7,8).

9. The Meaning of the Word “Angel”

“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.” (Hebrews 1:7 KJV)

The word “angel” is the English translation of the Greek word “angelos” from the New Testament and the Hebrew word “mal’akh” from the Old Testament. Both words mean “messenger,” and they may refer to an angelic or a human messenger.

The Bible also uses the word “angels” when it refers to Satan’s messengers, the demons (Matthew 25:41). For example, it talks about a battle between God’s angels, led by the archangel Michael, and Satan and his angels (Revelation 12:7).

10. The Purpose of Angels

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” (Psalm 103:20 KJV)

Angels were created by God to serve and obey Him. You will find more topics in this article that describes specific tasks and responsibilities that God gives His angels. They worship Him (Isaiah 6:2-3), bring messages from Him (Luke 1:11-22, 26-38), fight enemies (Isaiah 37:36), protect and intervene for His people (Psalm 91:11-12), etc. In short, angels are the messengers of God that do what He commands them to, both in heaven and on earth.

11. Hierarchy of Angels

“Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” (Jude 1:9 KJV)

The Bible uses a few specific words to refer to what seems like a hierarchical order among angels: Archangel: In Jude 1:9, the Bible mentions the archangel Michael, who was previously referred to as “one of the chief princes” (Daniel 10:13 KJV). The original Greek word means “chief angel,” which suggests that an archangel is in a leadership or commanding position to other angels (Revelation 12:7-8).

Thrones, dominions, principalities, powers: Colossians 1:16 and Ephesians 1:21 suggest a hierarchy of beings in these categories, but it doesn’t mention the angels explicitly. Ephesians 6:12 suggests that “principalities” and “powers” refer to demons, not the holy angels.

Due to the lack of any explanations about these words in the Bible, it is not possible to determine with certainty if they describe hierarchical positions, types of angels, or other kinds of collective nouns.

12. How Many Angels Are There?

“And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;” (Revelation 5:11 KJV)

The Bible doesn’t mention how many angels exist, but several references suggest it is a very large number (Psalm 68:17, Daniel 7:10, Hebrews 12:22, Revelation 5:11).

13. Names of Angels

“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:” (Daniel 12:1 KJV)

Scripture mentions the individual names of only two angels: Michael and Gabriel. They are both mentioned in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Note that the book of Daniel mentions both angels by name. Michael is the only archangel named in the Bible.

The Archangel Michael is mentioned in:

Daniel 10:13,21: He is called a “chief prince” and he helped another angel fight “the prince of the kingdom of Persia” (Daniel 10:13 KJV) and bring God’s message to the prophet Daniel.
Jude 1:9: He disputed Moses’s body with the devil.
Revelation 12:7-8: He and his angels will fight against the dragon and his angels.

The angel Gabriel is mentioned in:

Daniel 8:16, 9:21: He is the angel that brought God’s messages to Daniel.
Luke 1:19: He told Zacharias that he and his wife Elisabeth were going to have a son (Luke 1:11-13).
Luke 1:26: He told Mary that she was going to have a child, “the Son of the Highest” (Luke 1:32 KJV), and she was to name Him Jesus (Luke 1:26-38).

14. Angels Are Messengers of God

“Then he said to me, ‘These words are faithful and true.’ And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.” (Revelation 22:6 NKJV)

In the Bible, one of the most common tasks that God assigns to His angels is to bring messages to humans and reveal the Lord’s plans to them. Here are some examples:

An angel met Hagar in the desert and told her that she was going to give birth to Ishmael (Genesis 16:7-12).
The angel Gabriel announced to Zacharias that his wife Elisabeth was going to get pregnant (Luke 1:11-22).
Gabriel also announced to Mary her pregnancy and that she was going to give birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Luke 1:26-38).
An angel announced the good news about Jesus’s birth to the shepherds (Luke 2:8-15).
An angel instructed Joseph about what he should do regarding Mary and the baby Jesus (Matthew 1:20, Matthew 2:13, Matthew 2:19-20).
Angels told the women that Christ Jesus had resurrected from the dead (Matthew 28:2-7, Luke 24:4-5).
An angel of the Lord told Philip to go to the desert (Acts 8:26).
An angel instructed Cornelius to invite the apostle Peter to come to his house (Acts 10:3-8,22).
An angel told Paul that he and the sailors were going to survive the shipwreck (Acts 27:23-24).
John wrote the book of Revelation to register what an angel of God had shown him (Revelation 1:1-2).

15. Angels Worship the Lord

“Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.” (Psalm 148:2 KJV)

The angels not only obey and submit to the Lord, but they also worship Him. We find several references in Scripture about angels praising and worshipping God (Psalm 103:20, Isaiah 6:2-3, Nehemiah 9:6, Luke 2:13-14, Revelation 4:8). In Hebrews 1:5-6 and Revelation 5:11-12, the angels’ worship is directed to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

16. Angels Express Joy

“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” (Luke 15:10 KJV)

Jesus Christ said that the angels are joyful when a single sinner repents (Luke 15:10). The Bible also tells us that angels shouted for joy when God created the earth (Job 38:7). So, angels are capable of expressing joy for witnessing God’s power and grace in action.

17. Angels Submit to Jesus Christ

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10-11)

Christ Jesus is the Lord of all creation. The angels submit to His authority, as the Bible states in Hebrews 1:6,13. It says that Jesus Christ, “Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him” (1 Peter 3:22 KJV).

Scripture also presents scenes of angels ministering to Jesus (John 1:51, Matthew 4:11) and accompanying Him upon His return (Matthew 16:27, Matthew 25:31, Luke 9:26), every single one of them in submission to His authority.

18. Angels Intervene for the Saints

“The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” (Psalm 34:7 KJV)

Following God’s orders, angels not only deliver messages to His people but also intervene for them. Here are some examples:

One single angel struck down the entire army of Assyria and delivered God’s people from them (2 Kings 19:35, Isaiah 37:36).
An angel of God shut the lions’ mouths and kept them from hurting the prophet Daniel (Daniel 6:22).
An angel opened the prison doors and took the apostle Peter and the others out (Acts 5:19-20).

19. Angels Carry Out the Judgment of God

“And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.” (Revelation 16:1 KJV)

God is patient and long-suffering when it comes to people’s sins (Psalm 78:38, 2 Peter 3:8-9). However, sooner or later, He will show His disapproval for what people do that is offensive to Him (Romans 1:18, 2:5).

The Bible tells us of some occasions when God orders angels to carry out His righteous judgment against sinners:

An angel of God was sent to oppose Balaam and take his life (Numbers 22:21-35).
God sent an angel to punish Jerusalem (2 Samuel 24:16-17, 1 Chronicles 21:15).
An angel of the Lord took King Herod’s life (Acts 12:21-23).
Christ Jesus will send His angels to cast offenders into the “furnace of fire” (Matthew 13:41-42,48-50 KJV).

20. Angels in Other Missions

The Bible tells us of other assignments that angels have received from the Lord, such as:

Cherubims were placed at the East of the Garden of Eden, along with a flaming sword, to protect the way to the tree of life (Genesis 3:24).
An angel brought food to Elijah (1 Kings 19:5-7).
God sends angels to patrol the whole earth (Zechariah 1:10-11).
An angel strengthened Jesus while He was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest (Luke 22:43).
An angel rolled back the stone placed at the door of Jesus’s tomb (Matthew 28:2).
Angels were present at Jesus’s empty tomb (Matthew 28:5-6, Luke 24:4-5, John 20:11-13).

21. Angels May Go Unnoticed

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 13:2 KJV)

Angels are spirits and don’t have physical bodies. So, they can also go unnoticed by us, even though they can interact with the physical world. The statement on Hebrews 13:2 is probably based on Abraham’s experience as recorded in Genesis 18:1-8.

22. Angels at the End Times

“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (Matthew 24:31 KJV)

There are many references in the Bible that talk about the participation of angels in the events of the end times. Here are some examples:

Angels will be with Christ Jesus upon His return (Matthew 16:27, Matthew 25:31, Luke 9:26, 2 Thessalonians 1:7).
Jesus will send angels to gather His people (Matthew 24:31).
Seven angels will blow their trumpets, which will bring calamities upon the world (Revelation 8:6).
Angels will be present in the “heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22 KJV).
An angel will bind Satan, “cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him” (Revelation 20:1-3 KJV).

The book of Revelation contains other texts that show angels participating in the final events (Revelation 10:1, 14:6-8, 16:1, 18:1-2,21, 19:17, and others).

23. Angels Are Subject to Judgment

“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;” (2 Peter 2:4 KJV)

The apostle Peter writes about angels that sinned and will be judged (2 Peter 2:4). The apostle Paul affirms that God’s children “shall judge angels” (1 Corinthians 6:3 KJV). We don’t have details about the judgment of the angels, but there’s no doubt that it will happen. Most biblical scholars say that it probably applies only to the angels who sinned, not the holy angels that serve God.

24. The Worship of Angels Is Forbidden

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ‘See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.’” (Revelation 19:10 ESV)

Angels are magnificent creatures, and a human being may be drawn to worship them, as happened to John in Revelation 19:10. However, the angel himself forbade him and told him to worship God alone. The scene repeats in Revelation 22:8-9, and the angel rebuked him again.

The apostle Paul warns his readers to “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels” (Colossians 2:18 KJV).

So, there is no doubt that Scripture forbids people from worshipping the angels, no matter what circumstance. Even when angels do marvelous things, like showing John those amazing things described in the book of Revelation, God alone is the one who deserves our worship.

25. Are There Guardian Angels?

“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 18:10 KJV)

Matthew 18:10 is often quoted by people who believe in guardian angels, that is, that a specific angel is assigned to each person to guard them throughout their whole life. There is no doubt that God sends angels to protect His children, as mentioned earlier in this article, but there isn’t a clear text that affirms that sort of specific lifetime assignment.

Angels are amazing creatures that serve the Lord faithfully. We need to keep in mind that, whatever any angel may do for us, they do it following God’s orders. So, we must not ask anything directly to an angel nor thank them. All our prayers, worship, and gratitude must always be directed to God.

2 Timothy 1 The Message

1 1-2 I, Paul, am on special assignment for Christ, carrying out God’s plan laid out in the Message of Life by Jesus. I write this to you, Timothy, the son I love so much. All the best from our God and Christ be yours!

To Be Bold with God’s Gifts

3-4 Every time I say your name in prayer—which is practically all the time—I thank God for you, the God I worship with my whole life in the tradition of my ancestors. I miss you a lot, especially when I remember that last tearful good-bye, and I look forward to a joy-packed reunion.

5-7 That precious memory triggers another: your honest faith—and what a rich faith it is, handed down from your grandmother Lois to your mother Eunice, and now to you! And the special gift of ministry you received when I laid hands on you and prayed—keep that ablaze! God doesn’t want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible.

8-10 So don’t be embarrassed to speak up for our Master or for me, his prisoner. Take your share of suffering for the Message along with the rest of us. We can only keep on going, after all, by the power of God, who first saved us and then called us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it. But we know it now. Since the appearance of our Savior, nothing could be plainer: death defeated, life vindicated in a steady blaze of light, all through the work of Jesus.

11-12 This is the Message I’ve been set apart to proclaim as preacher, emissary, and teacher. It’s also the cause of all this trouble I’m in. But I have no regrets. I couldn’t be more sure of my ground—the One I’ve trusted in can take care of what he’s trusted me to do right to the end.

13-14 So keep at your work, this faith and love rooted in Christ, exactly as I set it out for you. It’s as sound as the day you first heard it from me. Guard this precious thing placed in your custody by the Holy Spirit who works in us.

15-18 I’m sure you know by now that everyone in the province of Asia deserted me, even Phygelus and Hermogenes. But God bless Onesiphorus and his family! Many’s the time I’ve been refreshed in that house. And he wasn’t embarrassed a bit that I was in jail. The first thing he did when he got to Rome was look me up. May God on the Last Day treat him as well as he treated me. And then there was all the help he provided in Ephesus—but you know that better than I.

2 Timothy 1 King James Version

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Angels on Assignment (Part 2)

The Bible includes hundreds of examples of how God uses angels to carry out His will. God has a whole host of angels that He can dispatch instantly to minister to us in our time of need. They are Angels on Assignment. In fact, God has angels right now that are on assignment to (1) speak to us, (2) minister to us, (3) deliver us, and (4) protect us.

INTRODUCTION

Get Started

When you are abiding in God—obeying His Word, seeking Him with all your heart, loving Him and others—you have the right to utilize the ministry of angels God has provided. It’s part of your salvation package! He provided these powerful beings to aid you on the earth, to bless you, and to minister to you. If you haven’t been tapping into this powerful, supernatural resource, begin today with these five ways to put your angels to work.

1. Speak the Word

When you find yourself in a situation—one of possible physical danger, one where you need deliverance, or one where you require material or financial help— speak the Word only. And do so in faith. This allows your angels to minister to you on your behalf—to work for you, to intervene. When you speak against the Word of God, their hands are tied—they can’t move an inch to help you.

Gloria Copeland shares how she does this: “Whatever happens in my life—if I’m in danger—I don’t panic. I stay calm, and I start reciting Psalm 91. I say, ‘God is my refuge, God is my deliverance.’ It has saved my life before.”

Years ago, when she and Kenneth were getting ready to travel to South Africa, many people encouraged them to take security with them because it was volatile there at the time. Gloria responded, “I don’t go anywhere without security. Glory to God. Every time I go to the grocery store, I have security. The Bible says angels encamp around those who fear Him” ( Psalm 34:7 ).

2.Command your angels

Can you really do this? In short, yes. Keep in mind, you aren’t commanding them in the same way you are commanding and rebuking the devil. You are releasing them to do the work they’ve been assigned to perform on your behalf.

You have been given the authority of Jesus Christ, as an heir, and you can command your angels to move on your behalf to carry out the Word ( Psalm 103:20 ). Kenneth Copeland advises saying something like this: “In the Name of Jesus, ministering spirits, I assign you according to Hebrews 1:13-14 to see to it that I have protection in this car, in this airplane, in this building. I claim this right as an heir to salvation.”

3. Pray for angels

When you ask God to deploy your angels, He will do so. Jesus said God would have sent 12 legions of angels to His rescue had He asked for them. Prayer will release angels on your behalf ( Matthew 26:51-53 ). Every time you leave your house, ask that angels protect you in every vehicle you ride in, every building you walk in, and every situation.

4. Call on the Name of Jesus

The Name of Jesus catches the attention of God’s angels. They will respond to the Name above all names and come to your rescue ( Hebrews 1:6 ). The Name of Jesus is powerful! When you’re in a situation where you need help, call on His Name. He’ll send help your way!

5. Thank God for His help

When you trust and believe that God will send His angels to help you (Psalm 91:11), you are receiving their intervention by faith. Thank Him and praise Him because He has given His angels charge over you. Thank Him for providing you with an entire army to enforce what is rightfully yours.

Isn’t it good to know you don’t have to depend on your own abilities for protection and deliverance? Get your angels involved in your life. God’s will is for you to enjoy everything He provided through Jesus on the cross, and He’s provided all the help you’ll ever need!

Watch Gloria Copeland and Billye Brim share how angels are working for you.

11 Bible Verses about Angels Helping Us

Most Relevant Verses

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them.

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.” But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, for the compassion of the Lord was upon him; and they brought him out, and put him outside the city. When they had brought them outside, one said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away.”

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb,

Then the devil *left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.

The angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them.

He said, “Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!”

Then the angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, all of these were dead.

What Do We Know about Angels in the Bible?

From the first chapters of Genesis to the closing verses of Revelation, angels play an important role in Scripture and are active throughout the story of God’s people. Angels are powerful, fascinating, and appear in many different ways and in many different situations. We are likely familiar with many of the angels that appear in Scripture: the angel who guarded Eden , the angel Gabriel who announced the birth of Christ, the archangel Michael , and many others. So, who exactly are these unique beings, and what role do they play in our world today?

What Is an Angel?

Angels are beings created by God who not only share his messages, but also actively do his will, encourage believers, and fight spiritual battles on our behalf. The word angel comes from a Greek word that literally means “messenger,” and angels are often seen bringing messages from God to us.

In spite of what we may have seen in cartoons and movies, angels are not people who have died, now sitting on clouds playing harps and waiting to earn their wings. This can make for a great storyline, but it is simply not accurate. Angels are created beings, made for God’s service and different from human beings. Hebrews 1:14 gives us this relationship between humans and angels, “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”

Jesus tells us in Matthew 22:30 that in heaven we will become more like angels in certain respects, saying, “at the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage ; they will be like the angels in heaven.” This doesn’t mean that we actually become angels, but that we will be free from the things of earth and be able to see and enjoy our Father in the same way that angels do. Angels are eternally singing the praises of God, and we will also worship him forever in the same way.

What Do Angels Really Look Like?

Scripture doesn’t give any precise descriptions of what angels look like, and they often appear in different forms. We do have clues though, that however they appear they are amazing to behold. Some angels in Scripture appear as normal men, and we are warned that we could interact with angels without even knowing. In fact, Hebrews 13:2 gives us this instruction, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”

In some situations, angels appear in the form of normal men. This is seen in angelic appearances to Abraham, Gideon and Lot, in Genesis 19 .

In other situations, they are powerful and frightening. Even though angels can be intimidating in appearance, we are not to worship angels, but God alone. One example is found in Revelation 19:9-10 , “Then the angel said to me, ‘Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ And he added, ‘These are the true words of God.’ At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.’”

Do Angels Have Wings?

Many verses describe angels as having wings, such as Isaiah 6:1-3 , which describes the calling of Isaiah. “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

The angels on the Ark of the Covenant also appear with wings , so it is clear that at least some angels have wings, and appear to us in that way.

Are There Different Types of Angels?

Knowing that angels appear in many different ways and in many different situations, it makes sense that there must be different kinds of angels. This view is supported by Scripture, which gives examples.

The six-winged angels that appear to Isaiah are described as Seraphim .

The two-winged angels atop the Ark of the Covenant are described as Cherubim .

The Bible also lists Archangels , such as Michael, who are thought to be superior to the others and angelic leaders.

5 Important Angels in the Bible

The archangel Michael appears in Revelation 12:7-8 , and is described as a commander of heavenly armies, who defeats Satan once and for all. There is no doubt that Michael is a fierce warrior, and that his angelic armies are at work in our world today.

Gabriel appears in several places the Bible and, most importantly is the angel who brings news of the coming births of John the Baptist ( Luke 1:19 ) and of Jesus ( Luke 1:26 ).

3. The Announcement of Christ’s Birth

These angels appear to shepherds in one of the most beautiful passages of Scripture, Luke 2:8-14 :

“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 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 that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.’ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.’”

The significance is that one angel is suddenly joined by many, all proclaiming the good news of salvation. Again, they appear frightening to the shepherds, yet assure them that there is nothing to fear.

4. The Invisible Angelic Armies

These angels appear in 2 Kings 6:15-17 , and are a reminder that God’s servants are invisibly at work among us. In a moment of weakness, Elisha prays that his servant would see that they are surrounded by an angelic army. “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.”

What a beautiful reminder that God is always at work among us, even when we don’t see it.

5. The Angel of the Lord

There are several references to “The Angel of the Lord.” Many believe this to be Christ himself acting in the Old Testament, and there is indeed merit to that argument. This angel appears to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace ( Daniel 3:24-25 ), to Gideon ( Judges 6:11-12 ), and Abraham ( Genesis 22:15 ). Whether or not this is Jesus, or a very important heavenly angel, the Angel of the Lord has a uniquely important place throughout the Old Testament.

Although we will never know all there is to know about angels on this side of Heaven, these heavenly beings are active, important servants of God. They are fighting spiritual warfare on our behalf, offering us comfort and hold a special place in the story of Scripture.

by Charles & Frances Hunter, as told by Roland Buck

"Don't be afraid. The Father has sent me to bring a message for you to bring to your church and the world." - Angel Gabriel

I am placing this amazing true story on the Internet for several reasons. First, I still have the same impression as Charles Hunter did about these messages from angels, that "the entire world needs to hear them." In addition to the Bible, it should be obvious that this book is also divinely inspired. Twenty three years after I first read about the angel Gabriel's 27 visitations with Pastor Buck, & visiting Roland Buck's church in 1980, I am still as convinced today as I was back in 1979. Since the Internet began in the 90s, it's time the message take on 'wings' on the WWW (world wide web), in the hopes that yet another person will be transformed by these incredible messages brought to us by special messengers straight from God's heart! Webmaster , Texas ( July 2002 )

Webmaster's Update, 2013: This online copy of AoA is the third printing that came out in the summer of 1979, written by Charles and Frances Hunter after many interviews of Pastor Buck, only months before his passing on Nov. 6, 1979 . Later editions by another publishing house contain only 15 chapters. This original edition has a chapter 16, entitled "In the Beginning" written by the Hunters, of yet more testimony to what God was doing. Charles and Frances Hunter spent nearly 40 years leading "healing explosions," where they prayed for the sick and taught Christians about the ministry of healing. Known as the Happy Hunters for their ready smiles and quick humor, the couple wrote more than 50 books about divine healing, including the best-seller, How to Heal the Sick. Frances Hunter went to be with the Lord in 2009 at the age of 93, followed the next year, 2010, by her husband Charles, who was 89.

1 Chronicles Chapter 27

1 Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit , the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand.

2 Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

3 Of the children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.

4 And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite, and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise were twenty and four thousand.

5 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

6 This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son.

7 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

8 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

9 The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

10 The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

11 The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

12 The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anetothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

13 The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

14 The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

15 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

16 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah:

17 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok:

18 Of Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:

19 Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel:

20 Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah:

21 Of the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner:

22 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel.

23 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.

24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.

25 And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:

26 And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:

27 And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite:

28 And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash:

29 And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai:

30 Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite:

31 And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's.

32 Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons:

33 And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king's companion:

34 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army was Joab.

Commentary for 1 Chronicles 27

David's military force. (1-15) Princes and officers. (16-34)1-15 In the kingdoms of this world readiness for war forms a security for peace; in like manner, nothing so much encourages Satan's assaults as to be unwatchful. So long as we stand armed with the whole armour of God, in the exercise of faith, and preparation of heart for the conflict, we shall certainly be safe, and probably enjoy inward peace. 16-34 The officers of the court, or the rulers of the king's substance, had the oversight and charge of the king's tillage, his vineyards, his herds, his flocks, which formed the wealth of eastern kings. Much of the wisdom of princes is seen in the choice of their ministry, and common persons show it in the choice of their advisers. David, though he had all these about him, preferred the word of God before them all. Thy testimonies are my delight and my counsellors. Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.
