1 | Why the angel of the Lord did not protec | Ps 34:4 | jlpangilinan | 96208 | ||
Did the angel of the Lord protect to those feared Him? Ps 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them. Why it is not happened to Abel when cain killed Him Ge 4:8 ¶ And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. |

2 | Why the angel of the Lord did not protec | Ps 34:4 | lewisg | 96209 | ||
Your question regarding Abel is a good one, and it might also be asked of any believer who dies at the hands of another, or even from disease. But certainly it could be applied to Peter, James, Stephen or any of hundreds of thousands of others who have given their lives for their Lord. One possible answer is that in this Psalm David, being inspired by God, is referring to Jesus. Angel means "messenger" and Jesus was certainly the Word of God. If so, this particular angel has indeed rescued all who fear the Lord, and he has done so by paying their penalty for their sin. Part of the difficulty with a verse like this is that we want to interpret it in a "human" way. It seems likely to me, given the history of mankind, that the "rescue" here is not necessarily from physical death or even physical harm, though God is quite capable of rescuing us in those ways. Even verse 4 (Psalm 34.4) says "rescued me from all my fears." One thing I have to keep reminding myself is that Bible promises aren't usually fulfilled exactly as I think they should be, but they are still true! |
