Angelsare the

“Hosts of Heaven”

Also referred to in Scripture as

The Sons of God“Ben Elohim”

Let’s discover the origins of these beings

through Scripture

In the beginning God created the heavens

and the earth.

Origin of Angels

Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the

midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters

from the waters.”

Genesis 1.6

Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were

under the firmament from the waters which

were above the firmament;

And it was so. And God called the firmament

Heaven.

Thus the heavens and the earth, and all

the host of them, were finished.

Genesis 2:1

the host of them,

When were Angels Created?

The are various Scriptures we can piece

together to get this answer.

Job 38:3 Psalms 33.6

Lets look at the book of Job first

“Where were you when I laid the foundations of

the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.

Job 38:3

Who determined its measurements? Surely

you know! Or who stretched the line upon

it?

Job 38:3

To what were its foundations fastened? Or

who laid its cornerstone, When the

morning stars sang together, And all the sons

of God shouted for joy?

And now Psalms 33

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

And all the host of them by the breath of

His mouth.

Psalms 33:6

From these passages we can understand that

“Sons of God” and

“Hosts” refers to the celestial

beings.

Paul reveals something about the (celestial) heavenly bodies:

1Corinthians 15.35

Flesh Celestial Bodies

Paul continues

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, andanother of birds.

1Corinthians 15.35

There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

1Corinthians 15.35

We are meant to understand from these passages that there are

other created beings.

The existence of Angels is taught in the

Scriptures and they are mentioned in

almost every book of the Bible

Angels are spiritbeings those who have

no wings (when on earth) and who can

appear as men on earth,

If they appear in a feminine form with wings it is demonic

Zechariah 5.5-11

Scripture references for review Angels as men on earth

Genesis 18.16; 32.1 Judges 13Hebrews. 1.14

Lets review these…

Genesis 18 & 19

Three angels appear as men to meet Abraham and

the LORD sends two of the Angels who are

appearing as men destroy Sodom Gomorrah.

And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, Genesis 18:1-2

We are meant to understand that Abram saw three men who appeared as angels to destroy Sodom, Gomorra and the cities of the plain: Adma and Zeboiim.

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground

Genesis 19.1

And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Whereare the men which came

in to thee this night? bring them out unto us,

that we may know them.

Genesis 19.5

Angels as men

But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

The Lord sent these Angels appearing as men

Another example in the Book of Judges

“A Man of God came to me…Manoah prayed…Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again…God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God came to the woman again

Evil fallen Angels

Angels that are feminine in form and

have wings are representative of

Wickedness

Example from Scripture

Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thineeyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth.

Zechariah 5.5

He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephahbetween the earth and the heaven.

Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Angels appearing in feminine forms are false angels of light and evil. They are wicked unclean spirits.

Who are Angels and what is their function in

relation to mankind

Angels are sent as ministers to those who are heirs of

salvation.

Hebrews 1.14

Are they not all ministering spirits sent

forth to minister for those who will inherit

salvation?

Hebrews 1.14

Yet the Scriptures declare to us we will judge the

angels.

you not know that we Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of

this life?

There are assigned positions of angels such as the chief princes who are guardian angels over people and principalities

over cities and nations

Michael – Guardian Angel

Michael is the Arch angel (chief) prince: all angels are under his authority. A prince is an angel over a country. Note: all angels are under

God’s authority Michael is a guardian angel

over Israel

Note: all angels are under God’s authority

Some Angels are mentioned by name in the Scriptures

Gabriel is a courier he is an angel who brings revelation and knowledge to Gods people.

Gabriel announced the birth of John and the birth of the Messiah to Mary.

These Angels walk and talk among us in such a way that we may not be aware of them

unless they reveal themselves.

“do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained

angels.”Hebrews 13.2

So if these angels govern the world and minister to us why would the Bible

teach that we would judge Angels in the world

to come

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

1 Corinthians 6:3-4

What did the angels do that requires judgment?

Jude makes reference to these fallen angels

And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day

Jude 6

Peter mentions them also

For if God did not spare angels when they

sinned, but cast them into hell and committed

them to pits of darkness, reserved for

judgment;

2 Peter 2:4

Moses informs us of these beings when

he wrote

Now it came to pass, when men began to

multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters

were born to them

that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they werebeautiful; and they

took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

Then Moses continues…

There were giants on the earth in those

days, and also afterward, when the

sons of God came in to the daughters of men

and they bore childrento them. Those werethe mighty men who were of old, men of

renown.

While this was going On the Lord saw and was displeased with

this and…

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart

was only evil continually.

And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on

the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said…

“I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air

for I am sorry that I have made them.”

Satan was a Cherub

Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God.

Ezekiel 28.14

For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God….

Isaiah 14:13-14

satan was celestial Throne

Here we see pride within the Chief of the Celestial

beings

The Bible teaches us that….

Pride goes before destruction!

Proverbs 16:18

The boastful shall not stand –

Psalms 5.5

God resists the Proud! –

1 Peter 5.5

Lets look at this Cherub

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!

So here we see that sin originated where?

It originated with the Celestial Hosts before

man was created

So! the Hosts of God Sinned first !

sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death

spread to all men

The Scriptures show us in another place that this

fallen cherub was roaming the earth

Now there was a day when the sons of God

came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.

And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do

you come?”So Satan answered the

Lord and said

“From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth

on it.”

Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you

considered My servant Job, that there is none like

him on the earth, a blameless and upright

man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”

Job 1.8

Angels again appear as men in the

earth…

Samuel Speaking to Saul

Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

1 Samuel 10.3

And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands. After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is.

1 Samuel 10.4

And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

1 Samuel 10.4

Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

1 Samuel 10.6

So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

1 Samuel 10:9

Consider these Scriptures

The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Mark 1.1

Consider these Scriptures

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,even to them that believe on his name.”

John 1.12

Three questions for you today

Do you want to be turned into another man?

Do you want a new heart?

Do you want to be called the son of God?

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
