Bible Question: Shalom, brothers and sisters in Christ. Peace be to all of you. My question comes from 1Pet. 1:12. What things are the angels desiring to look into? I understand it has to be something here on earth. When I studied it out, I was lead to scripture in Dan. 12:9, Prov. 25:2, and Mark 13:32.Why would the angels want to look into the return of Christ? Are they looking forward to it as we are? God bless,michael |
Bible Answer: Morning Michael, I don't think that it's just the 2nd Advent the angels are interested in. They've been around the whole time watching, trying to figure it out; they have had part in many of the messages from God to man concerning man's redemption, but they apparently knew less than man did about it, for it was man that had the promises. Even today, they are still trying to figure it all out (as are we, we don't understand it - how it works, we simply believe and receive it). Yes, I believe they are probably looking to the 2nd coming as the completion of the promise of redemption. Most of that I summarized (hopefully not too poorly) from Matthew Henry's very loooong commentary on 1 Pet. 1:12 Maybe someone else will have a more concise answer for you Cheri |
