A Sylph Encounter

SYLPH in simplest definition is what you called “Bizarre Cloud Formation”. Around 3 years ago when I first learned of this word and dismiss the idea attached into it and maybe, like most of you, will consider it as a natural phenomenon. Anyway, if I get my science correctly as Physic taught us that cloud being a vapor or gas; is lighter than air. Also by being a gas particle it is no wonder that Cloud is expected to move independently and very unstable. Therefore it won’t be hard to accept that this so-called Sylph is nothing but just pure accidental shapes and nothing else.

   But when I remember a past encounter with this peculiar cloud formation many years ago I have to shift my thought and take a more in depth study on this matter.

   Before I tell you that particular encounter with a Sylph, allow me to define it according to the Spiritual and extra-terrestrial connection of the term. Sylphs according to them are Angelic host or Heavenly beings taking the cloud form to act as Sentinel, give warnings, or directly influence human activities. While others believe, sylph is a creature in itself and not just an angelic camouflage.  Interestingly, sylphs tend to appear more pronounce before, during, and after a calamity like super typhoon, earth quake, volcanic eruptions, etc…

EYE TO EYE WITH AN ANGEL

   Now here is my strange encounter with a sylph why I believe it is not just an accidental cloud formation or random activity of gaseous particles. This happen more than ten years ago and yet every detail of that encounter is still very clear to me as if it happened only yesterday. After all, it was so extra ordinary to be easily dismissed on my head.

   I was employed then at Tax Studies and Research Center, and the nature of my job allows me to travel the whole Philippine archipelago and it was during one of those trips somewhere to the south. I remember that was a bright sunny afternoon and I could see perfectly from the airplane window the beautiful cotton like clouds. I always admire the wonders of clouds and sometimes imagine myself swimming on its foamy ocean of smoke.

   Then suddenly to my surprise, while at that moment of total immersion at the thick grayish White Mountain of cloud in the horizon, I was mesmerized when the cloud parted, and saw a strange cloud formation. There she is a lady with long curly hair seated in lotus fashion. It was so detailed I could see all the curves and outline of a naked lady…holding to her side a long stick or maybe a spear like a sentinel.

   Well, I’ve seen other more pronounce cloud formation than this but I’ve felt something different on this one. I look inside the airplane cabin if others are seeing the image I’m seeing. I’m not sure, if someone is paying attention too. Well, I still have no idea or have heard anything about Sylph during this time so I just consider this as an accidental play of nature, but something happen that made me a believer…

   When the plane headed to the direction of the Sentinel, or lady with long hair seated lotus fashion my heart leaps because I’ll be seeing it closer. Maybe the pilot and cockpit crew could see the angel too. Approaching the image I was even more amaze that the facial expression was even more detail, she look calm…yet alert. Then as the plane move closer that we are now directly above the mountain of cloud where the Sylph seated, that she is now there to my left…as if all of the sudden she realized that she is being watch, she turn her head and look at me…I will not forget that look as if she was surprised that I saw her. It sends shiver on my spine, even now while telling you this, I still felt the same shiver…I can’t bare that stare, WE ARE EYE TO EYE. I have to turn to the cabin…everything seems to be normal…the passengers and the stewardess are acting normal…

   The face, even if it was just a cloud formation, I could see all the fine detail and that even her eyes glow and eerie. Instantly I had a goose bump all over me and the imaginary hair at the back of my head all raises. The movement of her head was slow as if she was not expecting that I saw her…that was just seconds but it still lingers on my head…Now after a few second, the position angle of my chair shifted and that she disappeared to my sight…when the plane move further, I was able to saw her again…she now quickly join the mountain of gray and white clouds…and in seconds she hide herself.

   That’s the strangest encounter I had with a Cloud formations. Now that I’ve known what are Sylphs…the more that I became afraid…shaken at the mere thought of it…that I had an eye to eye encounter with heavenly creature.

   Was the Angelic Sentinel surprise that I saw her? I mean, obviously, there are other passengers watching the amazing detail of this cloud formation but it seems she was not expecting a spiritually aware eye was inside the airplane. I don’t know, but that stare seems to be directed only to me.

   People around the world had been seeing cloud formation more strangely than what I just described and previous during my other flights I also saw other more bizarre detail even seeing a whole panorama of action figures as if depicting a battle scene, yet that one instance captivates me until now.

   Years later, I’ve discover them to be what they call now as Sylph…heavenly beings. During that time I consider it just a coincidence of gaseous particles. But when I analyze the chances of a vapor forming images of creatures like humans, animals, and even things, I can not comprehend how natural phenomenon would do such a trick. Was this the hand of God doing some artistic expressions? Or these are messages that we need to decipher…since this Sylph tend to be more pronounce and obviously want to catch our attention during extreme weather conditions.

   In Marikina City, after the devastating typhoon Ondoy, there was a viral video that shows an angry face of a man in the sky right after the strong surge. People believe it was nature trying to say something about how we had abused our environment. At the 9/11 incident, the thick cloud from the burning tower transform into a laughing devil face…it even became headline of a leading News Paper. Both Japan and Indian Ocean Tsunami aftermath have reported stories too from various eyewitnesses of seeing strange cloud formation before it actually happened. So what are sylphs?

   That I will be discussing more on future blog…plus about Chemtrail, which are man-made unusual cloud formations. These two cloud formations sometimes do battle or squirms against each other which were not recognized by the uninitiated eyes. An increase of this activity had been seen in recent years that some expert on this subject believed directly related to Global Warming.

Where are the Nephilim?

"I told you we have some Nephilim blood in us." My son Elijah told me last week, after listening to his grandmother's story. Well I have heard the same story before with my sister during our bonding time when we were  just little kid. As I grew older, I categorized that story as purely for our entertainment or to make us stay still. Like ghost stories of manananggal, kapre, aswang, vampires, nuno-sa-punso, etc... so that adults can have control over little naughty children. 

   Now that I am older I have to confirm the story to my mother. Well, she wouldn't tell white lies anymore simply to entertain me now that I am older. But to my surprise she confirmed what she had said many years ago..."Of course it was all true...my father had super power and can carry a Cow in just one hand, climb a coconut tree, and let the animal fall to the ground to die...that was when he and my mother were arguing then. I saw it myself."

   So I stop asking.

   Returning to my son. You know how little boys and girls imagine things like our belief in fairy tales and legends or tales of incredible powers. This world would be boring if we suppress ways to escape from reality once in awhile. 

   I encourage my children to explore and imagine things but I always make sure that they can separate the mystic universe against the real material world. I like them to imagine like George Lucas or Steven Spielberg but also remind them dangerous lies and things like Santa Claus. I have killed Santa Claus on their memory since they begun to utter words. 

   I told them Nephilim are real. This is often considered a fantasy to the rest of the world but  a truth recorded in the Bible (Genesis 6:1-4). Like me, they were often ignored by their peers but this same people would believe in ghost and vampire. Intrigue why it was when the Bible speaks of incredible things people will dismiss it easily as legend or folklore like Samson and the Gideon 300 when all this story is verified even by historian. Now, what really amuses me is they will believe lies like 3 Kings of Nativity and Evolution Theory. 

Genesis 6

 ¹And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

 ²That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

 ³And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

 ⁴There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

   You wouldn't want to be children of Nephilim, I told my son. 

    The Nephilim (plural) are the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" in Genesis 6:4, or giants who inhabit Canaan in Numbers 13:33. A similar word with different vowel-sounds is used in Ezekiel 32:27 to refer to dead Philistine warriors.

    Probably rooted from Hebrew word npl which means "to fall"; "to cause to fall" and "to kill, to ruin"...A Nephilim is now generally known as offspring of "fallen angels" and sometimes translated in Bible passages simply as Giants. 

   Some believed that the Great Flood did not totally wiped out the Nephilim, as the report of Joshua's spies seeing the descendant of this giants. 

32. And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.33. We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." -- Numbers 13:32-33

   Ezekiel 32:27 speaks of "the fallen mighty (gibborim nophlim, גִּבֹּורִים נֹפְלִים) of the uncircumcised, which are gone down (yardu, יָרְדֽוּ) to the grave with their weapons of war"; a change to the vowels would produce the reading gibborim nephilim.

    Even if the term Nephilim was not used by some Ancient Biblical Authors, for unknown reasons we can still easily recognized that it is speaking of the same superhuman hybrid. 

   In Amos 2:9, Yahweh reminds the prophet that he "destroyed the Amorites before you, whose height was as the height of cedar trees" 

   The story about fallen angels, or Extra-terrestrial beings and Alien, to those that do not quantify the bible as source to this long standing fable (?) that cohabit with the human race and eventually have children...seems to be tied up with other ancient legends and mythologies too. The stronger that I believe there is factual reality behind the story. Now, what I need to do is separate the fact from fictions. There's the story of Apkallu, Anunnaki, Incas, or the Planet Nibiru, The Sumerian Sages, etc...Even the Australian aborigines believe they came from flying saucers. 

   A common denominator with these legends are that these Beings from Heavens  are credited with giving mankind the moral code, the crafts, and the arts.  (Again, when Elijah saw the word "arts" the more he strengthen his faith that he had Angelic gene inside him thru generations with me (the artist) and from the story of his grandmother about her father (supra man). I think he was just frustrated sometimes when he can't do what he want to do like draw a picture or the double back flip somersault that he been practicing lately. Sometimes, I would tell him joke,  that was because he only have a small percentage of the Anakites blood and his sister Elyona Jean had more of the artistic superhuman blood) I also noted among ancient myth a common depiction of a flaming vehicle or chariots of fire.  The same vehicle that took Elijah and Enoch to heaven without seeing death? Now, I personally believe these two prophet can describe to us the complete picture of alien if they were alive today. 

    

   Stories of Alien abductions came from different time, era, epoch, and cultural backgrounds...and what troubling me was the fact that we still can hear quite a good number of people in our generation testifying that they have been abducted by alien or have seen UFO. So what's really is up there, why NASA didn't return to the moon? How about the rovers in Mars, why the images aren't coming more often than before?  

    There are also the recent Ancient Astronaut Theorist who believe the sons of gods of Genesis were just extraterrestrial beings trying to manipulate earth and its beings. One day, they said, the league of universal justice or inter-galactic force (somewhat United Nations of the Universe) will have its judgment day on these Scalawag (troublemaker) Aliens who prey on lesser advance planetary civilizations, therefore they said, the Armaggedon of Heavenly Forces. 

The "Anunnaki" are the major players in a paradigm making its way into popular folklore, via the work of the late Zecharia Sitchin, an economist by education and profession, and the author of several best-selling books, including Genesis Revisited, that explore ancient mythology and the mysterious megalithic ruins found around the globe. These various books also seek to demonstrate that there was in ancient times an extraterrestrial race that genetically manipulated mankind for various reasons. The Sitchin thesis ("Sitchinism"), now embraced by numerous other writers, who have incorporated it into what is apparently a new worldview, essentially asserts that these ancient Sumero-Babylonian gods, the Anunnaki, are aliens from the planet Nibiru (Sitchin's "12th Planet"), which passes by the earth every 3,500 years or so, at which time they planet-hop to the earth and create mischief. (source: truthbeknown.com)

   Much have been told and re-told about these fallen angels (what I prefer as the Bible affirms) mingling, making trouble, indoctrinating, and eventually disrupting human existence...must be something to be investigated.  The Book of Enoch speak so much about these angels and the judgment to come to them almost the same time with Human Judgment hour or tribulations. 

   There would be an increase of these fallen angels activities in the last days, as they know very well that they don't have much time left. 

   Speaking of The Book of Enoch, someone told me why the Book was not included in our Modern Bible because it speaks of the truth. Come to think of it; early Christians and even the Old testament people refer to this book. The more that I suspect how fallen angels actively works in our lives even today. 

Evolutionist Missing Link?

   These are the missing link the evolutionist are not telling us. When archaeologist dug up bones of dinosaurs they herald it on science journals but when they discover human giants they hide it. Why? It is unfair. Anyone who held information about the truth are liars. And liars go to where? 

   I am sure on Jesus Christ return He will re-write our history books and science journals. He will make the record straight once and for all. 

    Here's a question that we better spend some inner thinking "Where will you be when History repeats itself?" 

    Jesus said his return will be like the days of Noah. Men eating, drinking, partying, and lots of fallen angels and their children dwelling among us...

Don't you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life. - 1 Corinthians 6:3

     

    

Evidence and Artifacts of Alien?

Let me clarify to you that I have a different concept about Alien or UFO - Unidentified Flying Object. The classification or definition of terms is very crucial because this same evidence have the tendency to be used against a creator God...or the Aliens themselves pretend to be gods. There is a premise that the Anti-Christ will appear as an Alien...however, this data I have not yet confirmed so we will not dabble on that issue here for now. We will just re-define aliens on this blog, how it should be on Biblical account.

   Aliens to me are those described in the Bible. Yes, they are biblical. The Bible simply calls them principalities from the heavenly realms, or in simple terms cherubs or angels. 

   Just as there are diversity of life on earth, it is obvious that the vastness of the universe and that of life in heaven also had variety of beings. The secular world may call them Aliens but to the Biblical terms they are Heavenly Host, Angels, Archangels, Cherubs...etc. They are all Spiritual Beings...meaning they reside on the spiritual plane. Extra-terrestrials or ET are in Bible terms simply called SPIRITS. 

   And that some of these Entities became Demons. 

  It quite interesting also to note here that ancient writings from prophets or by a man of God, who had spend  a great amount of time writing in detail regarding Angels and demons, were NOT INCLUDED in our modern Bible. Was it just coincidence or intentional? 

   Does "Fallen Angels" themselves hinder the inclusions of this writings or gospels? For example the book of Enoch. Enoch had detailed account of Lucifer's expulsion from heaven...it also prophesied the coming judgment to the fallen angel who had conspired with Satan. In fact the Book of Enoch was even quoted by New Testament writer like Paul and Jude, so why the Canon considered it as uninspired writings? The testament of Levi also hinted this judgment of fallen angels and Testament of Judah talking about how he conquered giants...

   There's seem to be a hidden agenda behind this intentional hiding of this fact. Why archaeologist are showing as only fossils of dinosaurs and not that of giant men? By the way, the Book of Enoch was specifically written for our generation, so why an important article should be hidden from believers in Christ?

   The video you are about to watch is intriguing. It will change your concept now about ancient men as uncivilized, unlearned, and even barbaric. This will show a system, or technology, or one may call artistry that is far advance than what we know. Perhaps, this is the meaning when King Solomon said "There is nothing new on earth and in heaven anymore..." All had been known already...the future and the past are basically the same. The intelligence and technology before the flood were basically the same. Jesus revealed he will return very similar to the condition  of Noah's time...

Matthew 24:37-39 ...'But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.'

The Children of Fallen Angels

Why modern science intentionally hide this discovery? They were afraid that the Bible will be proven true and factual again. Are they simply very lazy to re-write history...or is hiding a very sinister secret.  

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. -- Jude 1:6

Fallen Angels

Fifty Fascinating Facts About Angels

"Do no forget to entertain strangers,for by doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it."(Heb 13:2) 

There were some argument if Angels do sing, since the Bible seems to be silent on this issue....  

Does it matter if they sing or not? It will not lead to ones salvation if angels sing or not. Anyway, for discussion purposes and the lack of topic to say on this blog...you can join the discussion on this link...

Click this for discussion if Angels sing.


Now here's 50 fascinating fact about Angels...

Angels are mentioned about three hundred times in the Bible. The first description of an angel appears in Genesis 16:7, the last in Revelation 22:16. The angel is portrayed at the beginning as carrying a message from God, and in the closing chapter of scripture as carrying a message from Christ.

1. ANGELS CARE ABOUT MILITARY PERSONNEL. The very first Gentile convert was a military officer. "About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in to him, and said to him, ‘Cornelius!’ and fixing his gaze upon him and being much alarmed, he said, ‘What is it, Lord?’ And he said to him, ‘Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God’ " (Acts 10:3-4)
2. PRISON BARS CANNOT KEEP ANGELS FROM US. What glorious things angels have wrought in prison. "But an angel of the Lord during the night opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said, ‘Go your way, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life’." (Acts 5:19-20)
3. LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE GUARDIAN ANGELS. Jesus lovingly spoke of children seven times in this, the children’s chapter of the Bible. "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of My Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost." (Matt 18:10, 11)
4. ANGELS HAVE NOT ALWAYS EXISTED, BUT WERE CREATED PRIOR TO ADAM. Only four angelic beings are mentioned by name in scripture: Michael and Gabriel (Holy): Lucifer and Abbadon (Fallen). "And He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created by Him and for Him." (Colossians 1:15, 16)
5. ANGELS ARE SUBJECT TO JESUS, THEIR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. Angels cannot work the works of the Holy Spirit, nor grant forgiveness for sin."And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you - not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him." (I Peter 3:21,22)
6. BECAUSE NAKEDNESS IS A MARK OF APOSTASY BEFORE GOD, ANGELS IN THEIR NATURAL STATE ARE CLOTHED IN PURE, FINE, WHITE LINEN. So was the High Priest when making access to God. Jesus was wrapped for burial in fine linen prior to His resurrection. "And his appearance was like lightning, and his garment as white as snow; and the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men." (Matthew 28: 3,4)
7. A NUMBERLESS HOST OF ANGELS DESCENDED UPON MT. SINAI. There Moses received the law from God, which the angels themselves had ordained. "Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, at the mountain which God has desired for His abode? Surely, the Lord will dwell there forever. The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness." (Psalm 68:16,17)
8. GOD’S ANGELS ARE HOLY (SINLESS) BY CHOICE. Angels are spoken of more in the New Testament than in the Old Testament. "For what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." (Mark 8:37,38)
9. ANGELS LIVE IN CLOSE AND CONSTANT COMMUNION WITH GOD, CONTINUALLY PRAISING HIM. If man were the only creature giving praise to God, how little glory He would receive from His creation. "And Zacharias said to the angel, ‘How shall I know this for certain? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years,’ And the angel answered and said to him, ‘I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God: and I have been sent to speak to you, and to bring to you this good news." (Luke 1:18,19)
10. THE ANGELS’ CAPITOL IS IN A HEAVEN FREE FROM SIN, THE BUSIEST PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE. To deny the existence of angels and of heaven is to deny the Deity of Christ, for He spoke of them both quite often. "Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.’ And He said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." (John 1:50,51)
11. ANGELS ARE VASTLY NUMEROUS. The Hebrew language had no word for "million", so when speaking of angels, they expressed a million as "a thousand thousands (which is a million) and ten thousand times ten thousand (a hundred million)". "But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living god, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect." (Hebrews 12:22,23)
12. ANGELS DO NOT MARRY OR REPRODUCE. There is no mention in scripture of "baby" angels. "But Jesus answered and said to them, ‘You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven." (Matthew 22:29,30)
13. ANGELS NEVER DIE, NEITHER IS IT MENTIONED THAT THEY CAN WEEP. There will be no hospitals, graveyards or jails in heaven. "But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; for neither can they die any more, for they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection." (Luke 20:35,36)
14. ANGELS ARE NOT "ALL KNOWING". "heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. But the day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." (Matthew 24:35,36)
15. ANGELS CAMP AROUND THOSE WHO FEAR GOD. "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them. O taste and see that the Lord is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!" (Psalm 34:7,8)
16. ANGELS ARE WISE AND HAVE DISCERNMENT. "In order to change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing. But my lord is wise, like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know all that is in the earth. Then the king said to Joab, ‘Behold now, I will surely do this thing; go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom." (II Samuel 14:20,21)
17. ANGELS ARE MULTI-LINGUAL. "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." (I Corinthians 13:1,2)
18. ANGELS CAN VIEW US FROM THEIR ROYAL COURT AND HAVE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AS THEIR COLISEUM. "For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor." (I Corinthians 4:9,10)
19. ANGELS EAT HEAVENLY MANNA. It is possible that Jesus ate angel food (manna from heaven) when angels ministered to Him after His 40 days of fasting in the wilderness. "And He rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them food from heaven. Man did eat the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance." (Psalm 78:24,25)
20. AROUND THE THRONE OF GOD SERAPHIM STAND ABOVE AND CRY, "HOLY", CHERUBIM STAND BELOW TO GUARD, BUT NO ANGEL IS ALLOWED TO SIT AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, AS THAT IS RESERVED FOR HIS SON AND OUR SAVIOR. "For to which of the angels did He ever say, ‘Thou art My Son, today I have begotten thee’? And again, ‘I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to me’? And again He brings the first-born into the world, He says, ‘And let all the angels of God worship Him’." (Hebrews 1:5,6)
21. ANGELS PATROL THE EARTH. The "real" God-squad. "And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, ‘These are those whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth’. So they answered the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, and said, ‘We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is peaceful and quiet." (Zechariah 1:10,11)
22. ALTHOUGH HIS DISCIPLES SLEPT, JESUS WAS NOT ALONE IN THE GARDEN OF PRAYER, FOR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN WAS PRESENT AND STRENGTHENED HIM. "Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. and being in agony he was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground." (Luke 22:43,44)
23. ANGELS ARE CURIOUS. "It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven - things into which angels long to look. Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (I Peter 1:12,13)
24. ANGELS WILL BE JUDGED BY US. "Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, matters of this life?" (I Corinthians 6:2,3)
25. ANGELS PROPHESY AND INTERPRET DREAMS. "But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:20,21)
26. OUR LORD HIMSELF APPEARED AS AN ANGEL TO JACOB, GIDEON AND MENOAH...ONLY TO MENTION A FEW. If this had not been the Lord, He would have constrained them when they began to worship and pay tribute to Him, just as the angel did in the revelation when John fell down to worship him. "Yes, he wrestled with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought his favor. He found Him at Bethel, and there He spoke with us, even the Lord, the God of hosts; the Lord is His name." (Hosea 12:4,5)
27. THE TOMB OF JESUS WAS NEVER EMPTY, FOR THE ANGELS WERE THERE AND PROCLAIMED THE FIRST RESURRECTION STORY."But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb; and she beheld two angels in whit sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying." (John 20:11,12)
28. SATAN WAS AN ANOINTED CHERUB, BUT HE HAS THE ABILITY TO DISGUISE HIMSELF AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT (THEREFORE AS A MESSENGER). "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds." (II Corinthians 11:14,15)
29. HELL WAS NOT PREPARED FOR MAN, BUT WAS PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS. If you force yourself into Hell by purposely rejecting Christ, you will be going to a place not at all prepared for you...God prepared Heaven for you. "And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels." (Matthew 25:40,41)
30. ANGELS CAN APPEAR AS WINDS AND FLAMES OF FIRE. "And of the angels He says, ‘Who makes His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire.’ But of the Son He says, ‘Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom." (Hebrews 1:7,8)
31. ANGELS CANNOT SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD. "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor thing present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38,39)
32. ANGELS REJOICE OVER REPENTANT SINNERS. "And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!’ In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." (Luke 15;9,10)
33. ANGELS ARE NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZABLE. Only seraphim and cherubim are mentioned in scripture as having wings, and never does it mention that angels have halos. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body." (Hebrews 13:2,3)
34. ANGELS ARE SO STRONG THAT IT TOOK ONLY ONE TO KILL 185,000 ASSYRIANS...AND NOW THEY ARE FIGHTING ON YOUR TEAM. Then it happened that night that the angel of the Lord went out, and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead. So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, departed and returned home and lived at Nineveh." (II Kings 19:35,36)
35. ANGELS WERE CHARGED TO GUARD JESUS IN ALL HIS WAYS. This is why they are mentioned more in the Gospels and Revelation...because where Jesus was, the angels were en masse. "For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone." (Psalm 91:11,12)
36. AN ANGEL ALMOST DESTROYED JERUSALEM. "So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time; and seventy thousand men of the people from Dan to Beersheba died. When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord relented from the calamity, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, ‘It is enough! Now relax your hand!’ And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Arunah the Jebusite." (II Samuel 24:15,16)
37. ANGELS ARE IN CONSTANT WARFARE AGAINST SATAN AND HIS AGENTS. Many times they are mentioned as driving chariots of fire pulled by the only earthly animal mentioned that will be in heaven, the horse. "Then he said to me, ‘Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia." (Daniel 10:12,13)
38. ANGELS CAN CAUSE THE EARTH TO QUAKE AND MOUNTAINS TO TREMBLE. "Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it." Matthew 28:1,2)
39. ANGELS DESIRE TO COMFORT US. "And the angel answered and said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying." (Matthew 28:5,6)
40. MAN IS CREATED LOWER THAN THE ANGELS. "But one has testified somewhere, saying, ‘What is man, that Thou rememberest him? Or the son of man, that Thou art concerned about him? Thou hast made him for a little while lower than the angels; Thou has crowned him with glory and honor, and has appointed him over the works of Thy hands." (Hebrews 2:6,7)
41. ANGELS DIFFER IN CLASS, CALLING and RANK. The list is not exhaustive and not necessarily in this order: Seraphim, cherubim, archangel, princes."But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you.’ But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed." (Jude 9,10)
42. ANGELS ARE NOT TO BE WORSHIPPED. "Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to be head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God." (Colossians 2:18,19)
43. ANGELS ARE NOT TO PREACH "ANOTHER GOSPEL". Only fools rush in where angels fear to tread. "But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:8,9)
44. ANGELS CAN CAUSE AFFLICTIONS. "And the people kept crying out, ‘The voice of a god and not of a man!’ And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died." (Acts 12:22,23)
45. ANGELS ARE ALWAYS OF MASCULINE GENDER WHEN MENTIONED IN SCRIPTURE AND WHEN REVEALED IN HUMAN FORM."And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he said with a loud voice, ‘Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment had come; and worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters." (Revelation 14:6,7)
46. ANGELS WILL CAST THE UNSAVED INTO A FURNACE OF FIRE. "The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire; in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 13:41,42)
47. ANGELS WILL GATHER TOGETHER THOSE WHO ARE SAVED. "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other." (Matthew 24:30,31)
48. IN GREAT GLORY ANGELS WILL RETURN WITH JESUS, LED BY A SHOUT FROM THE ARCHANGEL, MICHAEL. "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord." (I Thessalonians 4:16,17)
49. ALL ANGELS WILL BE PRESENT AT THE JUDGMENT WHEN JESUS IS UNVEILED IN HIS FATHER’S GLORY. Man has never before seen Jesus in full glory...neither did the friends of the bridegroom (the prophets and disciples). "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." (Matthew 25:31,32)
50. 72,000 ANGELS (TWELVE LEGIONS - 6,000 TO A LEGION) WERE WAITING FOR CHRIST’S COMMAND AT HIS HOUR OF BETRAYAL, AND ANY ONE OF THEM COULD HAVE, AND GLADLY WOULD HAVE, RESCUED HIM...BUT JESUS WILLINGLY LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR YOU. "Then Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?" (Matthew 26:52,53) List from Joe R. Garman
