Also,.Genesis
16:9-11 "And the angel of God said unto her, Return to your mistress
and submit yourself under her hands. And the angel of the Lord said unto
her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered
for multitude. And the angel of God said unto her, Behold, you are with
child and shalt bear a son and shall call his name Ishmael,
because God has heard your affliction." Genesis
22:15,16 "And the angel of the God called unto Abraham out of heaven
the second time and said, By myself have I sworn, says God, for because
you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son.".Angels
often appear as if they were the Creator and deliver encouraging messages
directly as if it was the Creator himself speaking:.Isaiah
63:9 "In all their affliction he was afflicted and the angel of his
presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them and he
bare them and carried them all the days of old."
How
did the angels come into being?
Angels often speak and act
as though it was God:.Hebrews
2:2 "For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast..." Acts
7:38 "This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the
angel which spake to him in the mount
Sina.(speaking
of Moses talking with the Creator:.Exodus
24:12).and
with our fathers, who received the lively oracles
to give unto us." Acts 7:53 "Who have
received the law by the disposition.(given
through angels).of
angels..." Galatians 3:19 "...and
it.(speaking
here of the Old Testament law).was
ordained
by angels in the hand of a mediator.".Genesis
31:11-13 "And the angel of God spake unto me in
a dream, saying, Jacob. And I said, Here am I. And he said, Lift up
now thine eyes and see...I am the God of Bethel..." Numbers
20:16 "And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice and sent
an angel and has brought us forth out of Egypt...".Genesis
19:12-26; Numbers 22:21-35;
Exodus
3:2-4; 14:13-31;
Zechariah
1:7,9.
Acts
7:30-33.(the
Old Testament account of this, just below at Exodus 3:2-6):."And
when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness
of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
When Moses saw it he wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to behold
it, the
voice of the Lord
came unto him, Saying, I am the God of your fathers, the God of
Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled
and durst.(past
tense and a past
participle of dare).not
behold. Then said the Lord to him, Put off your shoes from your feet. For
the place where you stand is holy ground."
Exodus
3:2-6 "And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame
of fire out of the midst of a bush. And he looked and
behold,
the bush burned with fire and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said,
I will now turn aside and see this great sight why the bush is not burnt.
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called
unto him out of the midst of the bush.(note
here it says it was the Creator God after just telling us that it was an
angel, so, it's either that the Creator appears as an angel or that an
angel is instructed to appear with a message as if it were the Creator
giving the message; interesting!).and
said Moses, Moses. And he said Here am I. And he said Draw not nigh hither.
Put off thy shoes from off thy feet for the place whereon you stand is
holy ground. Moreover
he said I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God
of Isaac and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid
to look upon God." Joshua 5:13-15
"And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho,
that he lifted up his eyes and looked and behold, there stood a man over
against him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went unto him
and said unto him, Art thou for us or for our adversaries? And he said
Nay, but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua
fell on his face to the Earth and did worship
and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain
of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose your shoe from off your foot,
for the place whereon you stand is holy. And Joshua did so."
Here, the angel that was
in front of a man named Cornelius was called the Lord:.Acts
10:3,4 "He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day
an
angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him, Cornelius. And when
he looked on him, he was afraid and said, What is it, Lord?
And he said unto him, Your prayers and your alms are come up for a memorial
before God."
Angels act on instructions
from those above them:.Acts
12:6-11 "And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night
Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains and the
keepers before the door kept the prison. And behold, the angel of the
Lord came upon him and a light shined in the prison and he smote Peter
on the side and raised him up saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains
fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird
yourself and bind on your sandals. And so he did. And he said unto him,
Cast your garment about you and follow me. And he went out and followed
him and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought
he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they
came unto the iron gate that leads unto the city, which opened to them
of his own accord and they went out and passed on through one street and
forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself,
he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord has sent his angel and has
delivered me out of the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the
people of the Jews."
Genesis
18:20-22.
Hebrews
1:14 "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister
for them who shall be.(original
for 'shall be' is 'to take care' and 'to be about'; that is, the angels
assist us who care about salvation and as thus,
those who do are heirs).heirs
of salvation?"
Hebrews
2:2.(talking
of the now.defunct.Mosaic
Law)."For
if the word spoken by angels was stedfast and every transgression and disobedience
received a just recompence of reward..."
Angels carry out what the
Creator determines:.Acts
7:53 "Who have received the law by the disposition
of angels....."
The occurrences
in these scriptures indicate
that the One here involved, was He who was Emmanuel,
whose name was changed
in the 17th century A.D.:.John
1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God. All things were made by him and without him was
not any thing made that was made." 1Timothy
3:16 "...God was manifest
in the flesh..." 2Corinthians
5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them and has committed unto us the word
of reconciliation." 1Corinthians
10:4,9 "And did all drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank
of that spiritual Rock that followed them. And that Rock was Christ...Neither
let us tempt Christ as some of them also tempted and were destroyed of
serpents.(Numbers
21:6)." 2Corinthians
12:19 "...we speak before God
in Christ, but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying."
Philippians
3:14 "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of
God
in Christ Emmanuel."
1Thessalonians
5:18 "...for this is the will of God in Christ Emmanuel concerning
you." Genesis 17:3 "And Abram
fell on his face and God talked with him....." Genesis
32:30 "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for I have seen
God face to face and my life is preserved."
None of us, even after death,
have
seen the Father; but what about
Moses who talked with the Creator face to face?.Exodus
3:6; 33:11,20-23; Deuteronomy
34:10. And what about Jacob whose
name was changed to Israel after seeing God face to face? Genesis
32:30.
The only one who has seen
the Creator is He who became human and came to Earth from the Father and
went back to Him, after fulfilling the purpose the Father wanted Him to
come to Earth for:.Exodus
33:20-23; 34:7; John
8:42 "Emmanuel said unto them, If God were your Father, you would love
me, for I proceeded forth and came of God. Neither came I of myself but
he sent me." John 17:5 "And now O Father,
glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before
the world was."
Humans
are made a little lower than the angels, for awhile, as Christ
also was:.Hebrews
2:5-9 "For unto the angels has he not put in subjection
the world to come.(that
world is unfolding now as the evil is cleaned up)...What
is man, that you are mindful of him?...You made him a little lower than
the angels...You crowned him with glory and honour and did set him over
the works of your hands...You have put all things in subjection under
his feet.".1Corinthians
2:9.
And these are the reasons
the satanic dark side has been out
to eradicate
humans. Evil showed up soon after the
beginning.
Eventually humans will be
high above angels in stature:.1Corinthians
6:3 "Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more
things that also pertain to Earthly life?"
Evil angels are angry about
their being judged. Good angels are happy about their being judged:.Luke
15:10 "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the
angels of God over one sinner that repents.(repent
means to decide to change to be better,
to go from the low consciousness side
to the higher
consciousness side)."
John
10:33,34 "...you, being a man, make yourself God. Emmanuel answered
them, Is it not written in your law, I said,
You are Gods?".God
wants man to be like God is and wants that to be of man's free choice.
God never overrides choice
as long as man has some hope of turning his life around from a pathway
of darkness and gloom caused by man's choice of Self-Inflicted.Narcissism.
Evil angels, the devil
and his ilk, along
with those humans throughout the centuries who allowed themselves, mostly
because they were greedy & selfish, to become influenced by these dark
side creatures. Such were the ones of the invisible dark side who avoided
laws of the multiverse laid down by God. The laws of you reap
what you have sown and so many other good laws didn't matter to them
at all. They felt they were above all that stuff. However, the laws of
the multiverse work whether or not one knows or cares about them.
The realm
of Christ.(what
does 'Christ' mean?).is
better than the angelic
realm:.Hebrews
1:4,6 "Being made so much better than the angels as he has by inheritance
obtained a more excellent name than they...And again, when he brings in
the firstbegotten into the world.(Emmanuel),
he said, And let all the angels of God worship.(worship
means to give attention to; to note what is going on).him."
Angels appeared to Emmanuel
to provide help.Matthew
4:11 "Then the devil leaves him and behold, angels came and ministered
unto him..They
appear today providing help.
Every so often Miracles
And Other Wonders and other titles of TV programs are shown regarding
modern day encounters with these administrators of help and comfort that
were there for Emmanuel's protection:.Matthew
4:6 "And said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast yourself down,
for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you and in
their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash
your foot against a stone." Matthew
26:53,54 "Think you that I cannot now pray to my Father and he shall
presently give me more than twelve legions.(in
Roman times, about 6000 foot troops per legion).of
angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must
be?"
Touched
By An Angel
is also an inspiring TV program.
