ANGELS ARE REAL

ANGELS ARE REAL

Sunday, July 12, 2015

Hebrews [NLT] 2:1-5 … we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished. So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak? And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose. And furthermore, it is not angels who will control the future world we are talking about.

  Though Grandmother McGee sometimes called me her little angel . . . I was not then nor yet am or ever will be one.

  Though both created by God, angels and humans are two distinct sets of beings that contrary to myth old or new never ever crossover. (Ever the romantic, along with many others I too delighted in hokey CITY OF ANGELS with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan.) Angels, though at times indistinguishable from humans (Heb.13:2), were not, are not result of Eden dust or rib creation or later copulation. Though we know not when, God created angels prior to Adam and Eve.

  John 1:12 humans do not become angels after dying.

  So, indeed angels are quite real . . . but not humans; angels serve God and people at His direction (Heb.1:14); whereas John 1:12 faithful humans have (Mk.13:34) and will increase in authority (Lk.19:17).

  Now, as my little angel Michael says, “Got it?!”  EBB4
