Angels

Angels

    Although the Scriptures have much to say about angels, many people today have a mistaken belief about what angels are really like.  Just as the world portrays Satan in a red suit with a long pointy tail and horns, they also portray angels with white robes, halos, wings, and females with long beautiful blonde hair.  As you study the Scripture it becomes very clear how mistaken the world is today in their beliefs about angels.
    Thirty-four books in the Bible speak of the existence of angels - seventeen books in the Old Testament and seventeen books in the New Testament.  Angels are mentioned one hundred and sixty-five times in the New Testament and one hundred and eight times in the Old Testament.#      

    
    Angels are created beings. The fact that angels have not existed from eternity is proven from the Scriptures which give account of their creation.  They were created out of nothing, something only God can do.
        "Thou, even thou, are Lord alone; thou
         hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens,
         with all their host, the earth, and all
         things that are therein, the seas, and
         all that is therein, and thou preservest
         them all; and the host of heaven
         worshipeth thee." (Nehemiah 9:6)

        "Praise ye him, all his angels: praise
         ye him, all his hosts." (Psalm 148:2)
