Bible Question:
Mommapbs QUOTE I believe that it is important to keep our eyes on Jesus only, do not render worship to any created being.END QUOTE Amen! However, what I would like to know is whether there is anywhere that says that Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer were all archangels (or the same class of angel) and if there is any restriction on a cherubim ministering in the earth? Why I ask is because someone has argued that the cherubim with the flaming sword was not on earth (re:Eden) because cherubim are found in God's throne room. |
Bible Answer: Here is a little information I found in Dake's Annotated Bible. Be a Berean. Just because someone wrote it in a Bible doesn't make it true. Let the Holy Spirit be you teacher. This will probably take two posts. Asis Psalm 104:4 a [angels spirits] The Spirit World The word "spirit" is found 551 times in Scripture. From these references, the 297 times "angel" is found, and from over 20,000 others about God who is a spirit being, we learn all there is to know about the spirit world—all the various kinds of spirit beings that inhabit the unseen material worlds in space and under the earth (Phil. 2:10; Rev. 5:3,13). Ten Kinds of Spirit Beings Besides God: 1. Seraphim (Isaiah 6:1-7) 2. Cherubim (Genesis 3:24; Ezekiel 1:5-28; Ezekiel 8:1-4; Ezekiel 10:1-22) 3. Zoa, or Living Creatures (Rev. 4:6-5:14; Rev. 6:1-8; Rev. 7:11; Rev. 14:3,9-11; Rev. 15:7; Rev. 19:4) 4. Spirit animals shaped like the fleshly ones we have on earth (2 Kings 2:11-12; 2 Kings 6:13-17; Zech. 1:8-11; Zech. 6:1-8; Romans 1:20; 2 Cor. 12:1-4; Rev. 19:11-21) 5. Archangels, or chief angels who rule kingdoms and planets (Col. 1:15-18; 1 Thes. 4:16; Jude 1:9) (1) Michael, one of the chief princes, the prince of Israel (Daniel 10:13,21; Daniel 11:1; Daniel 12:1; 1 Thes. 4:16; Jude 1:9; Rev. 12:7-9) (2) Gabriel, who stands before God (Daniel 8:16-19; Daniel 9:20-23; Daniel 10:8-11:1; Luke 1:19,26) (3) Lucifer, the original ruler of the planet earth and present pseudo-ruler of man's dominion on earth (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 10:18; Ephes. 2:2; Rev. 12:7-9). See The Doctrine of Satan. (4) Unnamed princes of Persia and Grecia (Daniel 10:13-11:1; Rev. 11:7; Rev. 17:8) 6. Common angels (see notes below) 7. Demons (see note, §Psalm 106:37) 8. Demon locusts (Rev. 9:1-11) 9. Demon horsemen (Rev. 9:12-21) 10. The inner man, or soul and spirit of human beings (see Spirit). Definition and Usage of "Angel": The word literally means messenger and is used of Christ, angels, and people. 1. Christ, the second Person of the Trinity appeared to men as the messenger of God (1 Cor. 10:4,9; 1 Cor. 11:3). He is called: (1) The angel of God (Genesis 21:17; Genesis 31:11; Exodus 3:2; Judges 6:20; Judges 13:9; Acts 27:23) (2) The angel of the Lord (Genesis 16:7-11; Genesis 22:11,15; Exodus 14:19; Numbers 22:22-35; Judges 2:1,4; Judges 6:11-12,21-22; Judges 13:3-6,13-21; 2 Kings 1:3,15; 2 Kings 19:35; 1 Chron. 21:12-30; Psalm 34:7; Psalm 35:5-6; Isaiah 37:36; Zech. 1:9-19; Zech. 3:1-6; Zech. 12:8; Acts 7:30-38). In all other places where "the angel of the Lord" is found, the term refers to ordinary angels, as in Matthew 1:20,24; Matthew 2:13,19; Matthew 28:2-5; Luke 1:11-38; Luke 2:9-21; Acts 5:19; Acts 8:26; Acts 10:3; Acts 12:7-23. (3) His angel (Genesis 24:7,40; Exodus 23:20; Exodus 33:2; Numbers 20:16; 2 Chron. 32:21; Daniel 3:28; Daniel 6:22) (4) The angel (Genesis 48:16; Eccles. 5:6; Hosea 12:4) (5) Mine angel (Exodus 23:23; Exodus 32:34) (6) Angel of His presence (Isaiah 63:9) (7) Angel (Rev. 8:3-5; Rev. 10:1-11:3) 2. The word angel is used of common angels in Psalm 104:4. 3. It is used of men in Rev. 1:1,20; Rev. 2:1,8,12,18; Rev. 3:1,7,14; Rev. 19:9,10; Rev. 22:6-8,16. In other places it is nearly always clear that common angels who are spirit beings and heavenly creatures are referred to. End of part 1 |
