Just to throw this into the mix :-) In reference to this, there are a few ways these verses can be viewed. Take 2 Peter 2:4 "He delivered them to chains of darkness". This does not say that the angels died. They were delivered, but we don't know how. In Luke 20:36, what death are we talking about? Men die, but their spirit lives on. They only physically die. Angels are spirits to begin with, and angels don't "die" in the sense that natural man dies. We physically die, and the angels do not. After the resurrection, redeemed man won't physically die, we will be like the angels. But that's not the only death. Where is it that the unredeemed are cast? Matt 25:41 - Into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Rev. 20 will tell us that for man, this will be the second death. I would suggest that for angels, it will be the first and final death. Does this help shed some light? Love in Christ, Mark |

Dear Brother Mark, Good observations! As you point out, there is much we do not know. However, there is much that we are told in Scripture. For those who are interested, Gary E. Gilley has a very concise systematic treatment of angelology. http://www.svchapel.org/resources/Lessons/read_lessons.asp?id[equals]2 (Replace the [equals] with the equal sign.) It is a handy reference. In Him, Doc |
