ANGELOLOGY
THE THEOLOGY of ANGELS
Class Two
It is required that you look up and read the Bible references given.
According to II Samuel 14:20, angels maintain a highly superior level of wisdom. Paul calls upon angels to be a witness on his behalf in I Timothy 5:21. Even fallen angels maintain a highly advanced level of wisdom in Luke 4:34. Angels investigate the deeper things of Salvation I Peter 1:11-12.
Angels are stronger and mightier in power than humans. Psalms 103:20; Matthew 2:2; Acts 5:19; 1:7; II Thessalonians 1:7 & II Peter 2:11. Angels are limited in strength as seen in the war between righteousness & unrighteousness in Revelation 12:7. In Daniel 10:13, the angel that wanted to assist Daniel needed help from Michael to fight his way through the Prince of Persia to assist Daniel. The prince of Persia is a reference to an evil spiritual entity that wielded authority over the ancient kingdom of Persia. Michael is not unlimited in his power. Jude 9. Lucifer is not unlimited in his power. Job 1:12 & 2:6. Angels are not omnipotent, omniscient nor omnipresent.
Angels are more noble than man. Since angels are not omnipresent, angels roam and walk about on the earth. Job 1:7; Zechariah 1:11 & I Peter 5:8. Angels move from one place to another. Daniel 9:21-23 & 10:10-14. Angels are ministering spirits to assist Born Again Believers in their day-to-day living for Christ. Hebrews 1q:14.
The fallen angels are under the servitude of Satan II Corinthians 11:15.
One fact about fallen angels that most people don't realize is that evil originated in Heaven with them, and not on the earth. It is a Biblical/Theological fact that evil dwells in the universe. In Genesis 1 &2, the phrase … and it was good … means this is what God had in mind. In the beginning, Lucifer was everything God wanted him to be. But then, sin and pride filled the heart of Lucifer. And that was his downfall. Other Scriptures declare the evil propensity of the fallen angels. Psalms 78:49; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 9:11 & 12:7-9.
The fallen angels abandoned the original position which God had for them. II Peter 2:4 & Jude 6. Satan was the leader of the angelic apostasy. Ezekiel 28:15-17. Isaiah 14:12-15, confirms the rebellion of Lucifer and the fallen angels.
