Angels

are the
“Hosts of Heaven”

Also referred to in Scripture


as

The Sons of God


“Ben Elohim”
Let’s discover the
origins of these beings
through Scripture
In the beginning God
created the heavens
and the earth.
Origin of Angels

Then God said, “Let there


be a firmament in the
midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters
from the waters.”

Genesis 1.6
Thus God made the
firmament, and divided
the waters which were
under the firmament
from the waters which
were above the
firmament;
And it was so. And God
called the firmament
Heaven.
Thus the heavens and
the earth, and all
the host of
the host ofthem,
them, were
finished.

Genesis 2:1
When were Angels
Created?

The are various


Scriptures we can piece
together to get this
answer.

Job 38:3 Psalms 33.6


Lets look at the book of
Job first
“Where were you when I
laid the foundations of
the earth? Tell Me, if you
have understanding.

Job 38:3
Who determined its
measurements? Surely
you know! Or who
stretched the line upon
it?

Job 38:3
To what were its
foundations fastened? Or
who laid its
cornerstone, When the
morning stars sang
together, And all the sons
of God shouted for joy?
And now Psalms 33
By the word of the Lord
the heavens were made,
And all the host of
them by the breath of
His mouth.

Psalms 33:6
From these passages we
can understand that
“Sons of God”
and
“Hosts”
refers to the celestial
beings.
Paul reveals something
about the (celestial)
heavenly bodies:

 Flesh
 Celestial Bodies

1Corinthians 15.35
Paul continues

All flesh is not the same


flesh, but there is one
kind of flesh of men,
another flesh of animals,
another of fish, and
another of birds.

1Corinthians 15.35
There are also celestial
bodies and terrestrial
bodies; but the glory of
the celestial is one,
and the glory of the
terrestrial is another.

1Corinthians 15.35
We are meant to
understand from these
passages that there are
other created beings.
The existence of Angels
is taught in the
Scriptures and they are
mentioned in
almost every book of the
Bible
Angels are spirit
beings those who have
no wings (when on
earth) and who can
appear as men on earth,

If they appear in a feminine


form with wings it is demonic
Zechariah 5.5-11
Scripture references for
review Angels as men on
earth

Genesis 18.16; 32.1


Judges 13
Hebrews. 1.14

Lets review these…


Genesis 18 & 19

Three angels appear as


men to meet Abraham and
the LORD sends two of
the Angels who are
appearing as men destroy
Sodom Gomorrah.
And the LORD appeared unto
him in the plains of Mamre:
and he sat in the tent door in
the heat of the day; And he lift
up his eyes and looked, and,
lo, three men stood by him:
and when he saw them, he ran
to meet them from the tent
door, and bowed himself
toward the ground,
Genesis 18:1-2
We are meant to
understand that Abram
saw three men who
appeared as angels to
destroy Sodom, Gomorra
and the cities of the plain:
Adma and Zeboiim.
And there came two angels
to Sodom at even; and Lot
sat in the gate of Sodom:
and Lot seeing them rose
up to meet them; and he
bowed himself with his
face toward the ground

Genesis 19.1
And they called unto Lot,
and said unto him, Where
are the men which came
in to thee this night?
bring them out unto us,
that we may know them.

Genesis 19.5
Angels as men

But the men put forth


their hand, and pulled
Lot into the house to
them, and shut to the
door.
And they smote the men
that were at the door of
the house with
blindness, both small
and great: so that they
wearied themselves to
find the door.
And the men said unto
Lot, Hast thou here any
besides? son in law,
and thy sons, and thy
daughters, and
whatsoever thou hast in
the city, bring them out
of this place:
For we will destroy this
place, because the cry
of them is waxen great
before the face of the
LORD; and the LORD
hath sent us to destroy
it.
The Lord sent these Angels
appearing as men
Another example in the
Book of Judges
“A Man of God came to
me…Manoah prayed…Lord,
please let the Man of God
whom You sent come to us
again…God listened to the
voice of Manoah, and the
Angel of God came to the
woman again
Evil fallen Angels
Angels that are
feminine in form and
have wings are
representative of
Wickedness
Example from
Scripture
Then the angel that talked
with me went forth, and said
unto me, Lift up now thine
eyes, and see what is this that
goeth forth. And I said, What
is it? And he said, This is an
ephah that goeth forth.

Zechariah 5.5
He said moreover, This is
their resemblance through
all the earth. And, behold,
there was lifted up a talent
of lead: and this is a woman
that sitteth in the midst of
the ephah.
And he said, This is
wickedness. And he cast
it into the midst of the
ephah; and he cast the
weight of lead upon the
mouth thereof.
Then lifted I up mine
eyes, and looked, and,
behold, there came out
two women, and the wind
was in their wings; for
they had wings like the
wings of a stork: and they
lifted up the ephah
between the earth and
the heaven.
Then said I to the angel that
talked with me, Whither do
these bear the ephah? And
he said unto me, To build it
an house in the land of
Shinar: and it shall be
established, and set there
upon her own base.
Angels appearing in
feminine forms are false
angels of light and evil.
They are wicked unclean
spirits.
Who are Angels and
what is their function in
relation to mankind
Angels are sent as
ministers to those
who are heirs of
salvation.

Hebrews 1.14
Are they not all
ministering spirits sent
forth to minister for
those who will inherit
salvation?

Hebrews 1.14
Yet the Scriptures declare
to us we will judge the
angels.

Do you not know that we


will judge angels? How
much more matters of
this life?
There are assigned
positions of angels such
as the chief princes who
are guardian angels over
people and principalities
over cities and nations
Michael – Guardian Angel

Michael is the Arch angel


(chief) prince: all angels are
under his authority. A prince
is an angel over a country.
Note:
Note:all
allangels areunder

God’s authority

Michael is a guardian angel
over Israel
Some Angels are mentioned
by name in the Scriptures

Gabriel is a courier he
is an angel who brings
revelation and
knowledge to Gods
people.
Gabriel announced
the birth of John and
the birth of the
Messiah to Mary.
These Angels walk and talk
among us in such a way that
we may not be aware of them
unless they reveal
themselves.
“do not forget to entertain
strangers, for by so doing some
have unwittingly entertained
angels.”
Hebrews 13.2
So if these angels govern
the world and minister to
us why would the Bible
teach that we would
judge Angels in the world
to come
Know ye not that we
shall judge angels? how
much more things that
pertain to this life?

1 Corinthians 6:3-4
What did the angels do
that requires judgment?
Jude makes reference
to these fallen angels
And angels who did not
keep their own domain,
but abandoned their
proper abode, He has
kept in eternal bonds
under darkness for the
judgment of the great
day
Jude 6
Peter mentions
them also
For if God did not spare
angels when they
sinned, but cast them
into hell and committed
them to pits of
darkness, reserved for
judgment;

2 Peter 2:4
Moses informs us of
these beings when
he wrote
Now it came to pass,
when men began to
multiply on the face of
the earth, and daughters
were born to them
that the sons of God
saw the daughters of
men, that they were
beautiful; and they
took wives for
themselves of all
whom they chose.
Then Moses continues…
There were giants on
the earth in those
days, and also
afterward, when the
sons of God came in to
the daughters of men
and they bore children
to them. Those were
the mighty men who
were of old, men of
renown.
While this was going
On the Lord saw and
was displeased with
this and…
Then the Lord saw that
the wickedness of man
was great in the earth,
and that every intent of
the thoughts of his heart
was only evil
continually.
And the Lord was sorry
that He had made man on
the earth, and He was
grieved in His heart.
So the Lord said…
“I will destroy man
whom I have created
from the face of the
earth, both man and
beast, creeping thing
and birds of the air
for I am sorry that I
have made them.”

Satan was a Cherub
Thou art the anointed
cherub that covereth;
and I have set thee
so: thou wast upon
the holy mountain of
God.
Ezekiel 28.14
satan was celestial Throne

For you have said in your


heart: ‘I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of
God….

Isaiah 14:13-14
Here we see pride within
the Chief of the Celestial
beings

The Bible teaches us that….


Pride goes before destruction!

Proverbs 16:18
The boastful shall not
stand –

Psalms 5.5
God resists the Proud! –

1 Peter 5.5
Lets look at this Cherub

“How you are fallen


from heaven, O Lucifer,
son of the morning!
So here we see that sin
originated where?

It originated with the


Celestial Hosts before
man was created
sin entered the world, and death
through sin, and thus death
spread to all men

So! the Hosts of God


Sinned first !
The Scriptures show us
in another place that this
fallen cherub was
roaming the earth
Now there was a day
when the sons of God
came to present
themselves before the
Lord, and Satan also
came among them.
And the Lord said to
Satan, “From where do
you come?”
So Satan answered the
Lord and said
“From going to and fro
on the earth, and from
walking back and forth
on it.”
Then the Lord said to
Satan, “Have you
considered My servant
Job, that there is none like
him on the earth, a
blameless and upright
man, one who fears God
and shuns evil?”
Job 1.8
Angels again
appear as men in the
earth…
Samuel Speaking to Saul

Then you shall go on forward from


there and come to the terebinth tree
of Tabor. There three men going up
to God at Bethel will meet you, one
carrying three young goats, another
carrying three loaves of bread, and
another carrying a skin of wine.

1 Samuel 10.3
And they will greet you and
give you two loaves of bread,
which you shall receive from
their hands. After that you
shall come to the hill of God
where the Philistine garrison
is.

1 Samuel 10.4
And it will happen, when you
have come there to the city, that
you will meet a group of
prophets coming down from the
high place with a stringed
instrument, a tambourine, a
flute, and a harp before them;
and they will be prophesying.

1 Samuel 10.4
Then the Spirit of the Lord
will come upon you, and you
will prophesy with them and
be turned into another man.

1 Samuel 10.6
So it was, when he had
turned his back to go from
Samuel, that God gave him
another heart; and all those
signs came to pass that day.

1 Samuel 10:9
