Almighty. "The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a
flash of lightning." Eze. 1:14. Daniel beheld the angelic host gathered in the most holy place of the temple above, as the time came for the opening of the work of the investigative judgment, the cleansing of the sanctuary. Seeing the throne of God set for this final work of Christ's ministry, the prophet says: "Thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened." Dan. 7:10. God's Messengers The word "angel" means messenger. To and fro these angelic messengers have gone in the service of their Creator. A view of their ever-watchful service is given in the words of the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word." Ps. 103:20. Bearers of Tidings They visited Abraham's tent with warning of Sodom's overthrow. Genesis 18. They visited Lot in the city, and urged him to get his family out. |
