 11
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all
thy ways.
Psalms 91:11 (KJV)
4
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Psalms 104:4 (KJV)
 Have you reached out to your
Angel today?
 Angels are transcendently beautiful,
powerful, wise, kind, and of course, equipped for flight. They operate beyond the earthly
limitations faced by us mortals, and give us hints about what life might be like on the
other side. Best of all, they show up on Earth with heavenly help just when we really need
a hand, or a wing, or whatever.
Christ
Jesus as an Angel 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and
bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was
transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as
the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and
Elias talking with him.
Matt 17:1-3 (KJV)
Although angels serve numerous
purposes, their main role is supplying a network of communication between God and humanity
- heaven and Earth. The word "angel" is based on the Greek word
"angelos," meaning 'messenger." This is the word used to translate the
ancient Hebrew term"malakh," used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to those
celestial beings we have come to know as angels.
 
 Angel
Food
Manna is a sweet,
bread-like food that appeared magically on the ground, like morning dew, to feed the
Israelites. Some say that the manna actually refers to a liquid substance secreted at
night by a kind of tree called a tamarisk. This substance drops to the ground ( that has
been swept by the wind and rinsed by the rain) and hardens by morning. Others, including
the author of Psalm 78, say that it is the bread of angels.
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of
heaven.
25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
Psalms 78:24-25 (KJV)
Angel
Hierarchy
 Seraphim
- These are the closets to God. They continually sing God's praises. They are described in
the Book of Isaiah as having six wings each.
Cherubim
- Representations of Cherubim, or cherubs, range from bizarre winged animals, to chubby
little children.
Thrones
- Based on the vision of Ezekiel, thrones are often said to take the form of fiery wheels
covered with open eyes.
Dominions,
or Dominations - often said to be the oldest angels, they have the job of
supervising the angels below them (the ones above need no supervision).
Virtues,
also known as Authorities - These angels are the ones who can work miracles on
Earth and serve as guardian angels.
Powers
- If the Virtues are the "good cops" who takes care of the people, Powers are
the "bad cops" who come down on evil. The main role is to keep demons, devils
and evil spirits at bay.
Principalities
- These angels protect cities and nations as well as the leaders of religious faiths on
Earth.
Archangels
- These are messenger angels, delivering God's decrees to people on Earth.
Angels
- These are the buck privates of the heavenly army and work most closely with ordinary
human beings.
16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to
destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the
people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the
threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
2 Sam 24:16 (KJV)
7 And
the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and
eat; because the journey is too great for thee.

"My God has sent his angel," he said, "to shut the lions' mouths so that
they can't touch me, for I am innocent before God; nor, sir, have I wronged you."

1 And he
shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing
at his right hand to resist him.
Zech 3:1 (KJV)
Angel
Traits
Wings - They
suggest a celestial nature and the ability to span large distances particularly the
distance between heaven and Earth. They can also serve a protection function. From taking
someone under their wings to using their wings to beat off prospective evils, angels are
equipped for any situation with these handy appendages.
Halo - Also
called a nimbus, it denotes glory, holiness, and wisdom. The circular shape also
represents perfection and completeness. Saints are often represented with halos as well as
angels.
Shinning raiment
- White and diaphanous robes represents purity and spirituality. Luminescent or flaming
robes represents wisdom and glory.
Armor - Angels
are often figured as soldiers in the battle between Good and Evil. Armor represents power
and strength.
Musical
instruments -Music represents spiritual beauty, cosmic harmony, and the chief angelic
activity of praising God.
The form of a
baby or child - A relatively late addition to the tradition of angel identification, this
represents innocence and joy.
The human face -
The face is an easily overlooked but especially powerful symbol of angelic feeling. This
can show love, compassion, anger, determination, hope, humility, reverence, and joy.
Stars - Stars as
angels represent cosmic order and multitude.
Sandals - These
denote antiquity, evoking the days before sneakers were invented.
 Angel Testimony
Hi Susanne, tonight I sat at my
computer and prayed before I got started, and I asked the Lord to help me with another
page as I always do. I sat quietly just looking at the computer and my Bible. Many
thoughts ran through my head. I remembered earlier in the evening I saw a light flickering
out of the corner of my right eye. I ignored it and kept working, but it happened several
times. So I looked around the room to see what could have made that bright flickering.
There was nothing that could have reflected a light. When I saw the light about the third
time, I noticed something. I order some tapes a couple of months ago by John MacArthur,
Jr. "The Gospel According To Jesus," well the light was flickering on the cover
of the binder that the tapes came in. I had the binder standing in the corner behind a
basket that I keep some of my books in. That was very interesting to me. So back tome on
the computer, I ended up thinking of you and how you are an angel. Which leads me to this,
The next page will be on angels thanks to our heavenly Father and that light flickering
and to you my sister in Christ Jesus. I believe that light was truly an angel trying to
get my attention and the angel did. So if it is all right with you, I would like to
dedicate my next page to you Susanne. God Bless, Love Emanuel

prophecies from angels, but angels sometimes tell them how to behave during their
prophetic visions and even tell them what the visions mean. Throughout the Book of
Revelation, for example, the prophet John is coached by an angel who makes sure he
sees the vision and understands it correctly. what's more, he rebukes John for trying to
worship him.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew
unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it
by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:1 (KJV)
1
And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in
the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 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,
Gen 18:1-2 (KJV)

And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom:

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate

Gen 19:1 (KJV)
24
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until
the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him,
he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as
he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And
he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And
he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more
Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast

Sometimes people claim encounters not
only with their own guardian angels, but with the guardian angels of other people. A
famous example is the Roman Catholic priest Padre Pio, who claimed to be able to
communicate with Jesus, the Virgin Mary, saints, and angels. He achieve great popularity
and many came to him for spiritual advice. In order to help large numbers of people, Padre
Pio suggested that people send their guardian to him so that he could advise people
through their angels. He claimed to have stayed awake at night consulting with peoples
angels. When he died in the late 1960's, close to a hundred thousand people came to his

Angels Among Us
I was walking home from school on a cold winter day
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
Oh, I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hour
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there
to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend, just to say "I understand"
And ain't it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
Oh, I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hour
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places
To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need
Oh, I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hour
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
To guide us with a light of love
