Bible Question: I am doing a Study help on Angels how would you start out with Angel being a spiritual being and how that I have understand that we are to speak to them. what is your voice on this? thanks Grace7044 |
Bible Answer: Shalom, Grace I would start by looking up what the word "angel" (messenger) means with all its connotations. Not all "angelic" beings, i.e., heavenly spirits, are actually angels. For instance, cherubim (singular - cherub) and seraphim (sing. - seraph) may occasionally be sent as messangers, but generally the position of the cherubim is around the throne of God, as on the Ark of the Covenant. Seraphim, on the other hand, are more like a firey serpent (Spiros Zodhiates, Lexicon of the Old Testament). Start with a good condordance and lexicon. The NASB concordance is, I believe, in some respects preferable to Strong's, especially since it actually divides some of Strong's numbers into "A" and "B" such as for saraph (8314). And don't go into your study with old stereotyped ideas about angels which may be wrong. For instance, you won't find in the Bible where angels SING! ;-) |
