A loving and gracious father we thank you lord for this morning. We thank you for this extra hour of rest
00:06
We pray lord that as we gather here that you would Be with us you would instruct us through your word and by your spirit that you would fill our hearts and minds a lot with the glories that you inhabit that we would be
00:21
Encouraged and uplifted as our minds rest in you and in your splendor in jesus name.
00:28
We pray. Amen Okay, um Before I say anything more
00:36
I don't know if everybody knows pauline is leaving tomorrow for a long drive down and she'll be staying in the south, so if you don't if you during her
00:48
So her home will be open and we'll look at a little bit about hospitality to strangers in today's text
00:55
But can be hospitable to people, you know as well So, uh, please be sure to say hi to hi and bye to pauline before Before the day is over so Angel, so right on the top of the notes here.
01:11
You see a one definition that is given they are created spiritual beings
01:19
And they have certain capacities. They have moral judgment and they also have high intelligence and yet they do not have physical bodies
01:28
Do we have extra handouts? Oh, it's over there. Thanks All right.
01:34
I'll be sure to point out next time so um Before we get into this subject
01:43
We want to ask ourselves. Is there oh, why do we want to look at this topic of angels and to see that?
01:51
Answer, let me just remind you of a couple of things that happened this past week. So this past week we had uh
01:58
Two big events, I guess Uh reformation day we celebrated reformation 500.
02:06
We also had uh on the same day Halloween and uh, there was a you know, very deeply spiritual experience.
02:16
I'm sure you all had that day So With halloween you get to see a celebration of things that are
02:26
Supernatural in some sense and maybe for most people it's just not but there is a at least if you turn on the tv you get to see a lot of stuff about Supernatural, you know, most of the movies are about horror movies most of even pbs keeps running that you know the more
02:45
Non -spiritual type of place you get to see a lot of conversations about haunted houses. I'm looking at one last night.
02:51
I'm thinking Okay Uh and With the reformation the reason
02:59
I wanted to bring it up is One there was a lot of last sunday night pastor steve talked about some of the things that came out of the reformation one of them being in the catholic church there was a emphasis or a wrong emphasis on worship and adoration of mary and angels and there is a
03:15
There is a sense in which angels are dealt with in a way that is Non -biblical and so we want to and from with the reformation we come back to the bible and we say certain practices
03:24
Even if it was done for a long period of time, you know This angel was the angel of health or wealth or whatever it is.
03:31
You don't go talking to these angels That's not what the bible calls us to so we're going to see what the bible says about angels and then on on on on the same side, but on the secular world you have all these spirits and Occult and Stuff that you think you can do with these demons and angels and What how we are to be cautious about that type of behavior?
03:54
And then on this extreme you have the secular more materialistic, you know, uh,
04:00
I can't really See ghosts. I mean I look at this. Uh yesterday
04:05
I was watching that previous thing and This person says, you know, I saw some something close the door
04:10
I saw this that and i'm sure there's a perfectly natural explanation for all of that thing and it's you know you guys just don't have the tools to understand the phenomena that you're experiencing and At some point science will figure it all out and there's no spirit.
04:24
So that's that's the other extreme So in the middle, we have the scriptures that talk about these beings called angel that do exist
04:32
And how we relate to them and how we understand them needs to be informed by the scriptures.
04:37
So I don't have any major theme to run through other than just walk us through these scriptures
04:44
And get a sense of what angels are how we must By by the end of the sunday school how do our minds reflect this knowledge in a way that is appreciative of the god who makes these angels and Uses them for his purposes and his purposes in our lives
05:02
Especially here today as we worship. So with that i'm just going to walk us through These scriptures so I need volunteers to read the scriptures that you have before you
05:12
So I need someone to read nehemiah 9 6 Just raise your hand. Thank you. Um colossians 1 16
05:21
All right so let's begin with those two, uh verses and then we'll I'll distribute the rest actually, you know what?
05:28
Let me give the rest of the verses to uh, who can read second peter's to second peter 2 4 Thank you pauline.
05:35
Um Matthew 28 5 Thank you Uh, i'm going to skip revelation 4 and I need uh, hebrews 1 14
05:44
Thank you and uh, luke 2439 Right in the back and then uh, let's get the other verses distributed as well numbers 2231
05:55
Whoa Okay, i'm sure someone there can read it for me. Thank you Second kings 6 17
06:05
Thanks paul and then uh Luke 2 13 Thanks simon.
06:11
And uh, let's actually take hebrews 13 2 as well Thanks, okay, we have the whole section covered.
06:18
Let's begin with nehemiah 9 6 when you look at this passage, you know, one of the interesting things about angels
06:28
Is you don't really have a lot that just is intended for you to Have a systematic knowledge of angels.
06:35
They're Just scattered throughout the rest of the scriptures either in the narratives or in praise or in prayer where they just happen to be
06:44
Part of the narrative. They're never the main focus of the narrative. Who's the main focus of this verse here?
06:50
God, it's all about god and his creation and his splendor He makes the heavens and the heaven of heavens and everything that is inside the heaven of heavens.
06:58
They didn't exist by themselves They're not eternal co -eternal with god. They were all created and god is the one who makes them and right there tucked in that praise of god and his creation and his majesty are creatures that are listed
07:14
In passing almost it seems like so the host of heaven is what it calls about Host and that's one of the terms used for Angels where it is like these armies of angels that inhabit heaven.
07:28
This is not just like one or two angels up there this is like a A wide array of beings that inhabit heaven and then the verse concludes with they all
07:38
Worship the god who created them. So that's really the picture you want to leave with nehemiah 9 6 angels
07:46
They are created beings. They inhabit heavens and they worship and they are all made by a wonderful god
07:54
So that's nehemiah 6 colossians 1 16 takes that a little bit further here again You get to see who is the hymn here?
08:03
God, yes, and it's one person of the trinity actually, no it's
08:10
It's christ. So if you go one verse up you get to see you know How jesus is the preeminent one in all of creation and if you just read that verse you wouldn't know the distinction
08:19
It'd be like okay, you know This looks like it's talking about god the father and it actually is the son And in fact the ending of that verse says all things were created
08:29
Through him and for him so he is the agent of creation and sometimes we want to remember that you know jesus christ is the one who is
08:38
Who is involved in creation? and But what were the things that were created in this in this verse 16?
08:49
All things yes, and uh, and if you wanted to categorize them Go ahead
08:55
On earth and in heaven so things that are in heaven When you think of heaven you can think of all the celestial be celestial bodies, but specifically here things that inhabit the heaven of heavens in the presence of god similar to nehemiah 9 6 these
09:12
The visible things which would be the sun moon stars, but also the invisible things which are these angelic beings
09:18
That inhabit heaven excellent There is a paul uses this again if i'm not mistaken efficiency one or two
09:25
Is it does anybody remember where it is? In the end of one I think he uses the same term referring to these
09:34
Principalities in the in the heavens and in fact if you look at the words, I know not all of you are turned there
09:41
He talks about visible and invisible and then there is a hyphen and then it says, you know thrones and dominions and rulers and principalities and There has been some who thought maybe these four entities are on the human sphere of influence, you know the king and the judges and the
10:02
Governors and things like that, but that's not really the Meaning of this context in the context of this verse.
10:07
It's talking about the invisible beings that are actually Uh, they have a hierarchy.
10:12
They have a structure a government if you will Sometimes I just think all angels are like these little cherubs
10:19
And by the way, we're going to look at cherubim They're nothing like the cherubs that you see pictured but we think of angels in like one monolithic sense but there are various kinds of angels and not only kinds of angels, but they have
10:31
Hierarch just like how we understand rule and authority here. There is a structure for these beings and we think of them in the positive sense the angelic beings and likewise you also have the
10:44
Demons the fallen angels who also are called as principalities All right, let me stop there for a moment any
10:51
Comments thoughts on these two verses and in fact, um I think we covered this like a year ago.
11:00
Um, even when you look at genesis 1 and john 1 Genesis 1 we have uh in the beginning
11:09
God created heavens and the earth and then you we look at um The spirit hovering over the waters and then you have god speaking and everything coming into existence and then in that is genesis 1 and in john 1 we have in the beginning was the
11:25
Word and the word was with god and the word was god and then all things were made through him without him Was not anything made that was made so you have this sense of this triune role in creation and then there are places where the
11:39
Role of the second person of the trinity is kind of emphasized, you know, it's through him that all things have been good good point
11:47
All right. So let's move to the next section. If you have anything, please raise your hand. We'll stop Um, so they exercise moral judgment and this is one of the things that I normally don't think of with regards to angels
11:57
Who has that verse? Thank you Before we look at the angelic part of that verse. What do you think the point of that few verses is?
12:05
That's right and he gives examples of all of those different types of judgments that god has executed once again
12:11
What is the point of the passage? You know, we have a god who is holy who is a god who will not
12:16
Wink over evil and it is uh, you know, we can when we meet him in heaven.
12:21
There will be no sin. No evil nothing that is Sinful in his presence and he will deal with all evil all sin
12:29
That's the main point and by the way You get to hear something about angels while you're looking at this god of in the scriptures
12:36
And what is it that we hear about the angels in this verse? That's right.
12:41
So Not only could they sin they did sin and god has executed his judgment upon them and uh, so really the uh, the point that is given here is that they can exercise moral judgment and When we think of angels, these are beings
13:02
And they are not like, um, like little genies that you know kind of blindly do things they exercise certain
13:10
Volitional capacities about moral Choices that you make they're not like a dog or a cat.
13:17
They have uh the capacity to Do good or do evil?
13:23
Uh, there is a little bit more to this. I don't know if i'm going to cover this later Maybe i'll just say this in passing because we may not get to this at a later point.
13:35
So uh You know what that might take time.
13:41
Let's stop. Um, if you have any questions, please raise them We'll we'll address them as we go. So they are moral beings and that's the point of this verse so the next one we'll do quickly matthew 28 5 who has that so looking at this verse, how do you get the
13:58
Implication that angels are actually intelligent beings In fact the way you want to be thinking of angels is they are like persons like us
14:07
We are rational beings who can think and reason We are beings who observe and can relate to what was happened in the past and what is coming in the future
14:17
And that's how we see ourselves as our brain processes things We our mind puts things together and then we communicate those things as with the intelligence that god has given us
14:26
And it's and in this particular way we reflect the intelligence of god and his personhood
14:31
God is spirit. He doesn't have a brain physical brain like we do Except the second person of the trinity who also has the human body added on But god is spirit that he is a person and he's intelligent and in his image
14:45
We are made and we reflect that in all of our being and so when we think of intelligence and personhood we normally think of human beings and you want to be thinking of angels as Having that same kind of capacity that we do
14:58
In terms of being able to reason if you look at all the pieces of data that that angel gives these women
15:05
It talks about it actually knows that these women are troubled It's there to give them comfort and the way it does that is to give them give information about the state of Jesus what he had said before come and look his body is not here.
15:19
He is gone So there is a lot of pieces of information that is put together in a way that humans can actually understand
15:25
So that's really the point. Maybe all of you are saying. Hey, we know about that Why are we belaboring the point but it's helpful for us to just reflect upon the what constitutes the
15:35
Being that we call angel and they are highly intelligent The next verse two verses who has hebrew 1 14 and once again, it's like incidental
15:46
But in passing, you know that they are spirits and they are not They do not have while they are persons like us
15:53
They are individuals who have the capacity to think have emotion and they have a will we will see in a moment
15:58
But they do not have bodies like we do they are just spirits like god is spirit
16:04
So also they are spirit without bodies and who has luke 24 39 think and once again, you know
16:10
Here is jesus the resurrected jesus. He is talking about his resurrected body And that it is flesh and bones.
16:18
It's it's it's a it's a reconstituted body, but it is still a physical body and it is distinct from that of a spirit which
16:26
Jesus clearly states doesn't have flesh and bones again. It's not a Angelology one -on -one.
16:31
Let me tell you all about angels while jesus is talking about his resurrected body And he is just comparing it with a spirit and trying to tell these people who are terrified that he is not a spirit or an angel
16:44
Which do not have a physical body All right. So With that all of you are probably thinking of point number four here
16:51
Or d here, which is wait, I thought we we've seen people connect with angels
16:57
So we have these three verses we're going to briefly look at uh, who has numbers 22 31
17:03
Oh great. Go ahead. Good job So And this is one of those places where we start to connect what happens in our physical normal world with this
17:18
Invisible world where these angels inhabit where they encounter one another Obviously, you know this path.
17:25
Well, if you don't know this what happens here is you have balaam who is going to king balak who wants to put a curse on the
17:34
Israelites and god has already warned him the previous day, you know You know, if you go you must say only what
17:41
I have what I put in your mouth We don't really know what balaam is thinking as he's walking and his donkey
17:47
Can actually see the angel first and it tries to prevent him from going through and uh
17:55
Do you want to add something Sometimes we might be intelligent beings but morally
18:05
I don't know Not all the time but many of the times we're going to see that in a moment.
18:13
Yeah in this yeah No, go ahead. That's an excellent point. And that's one of the things
18:19
I want us to distinguish there are um Actually lucifer if you have time, you might actually get to lucifer and demons as well, but probably not today.
18:27
Um We see angels at times take on human form so we can actually see them in the physical world
18:35
But that is actually different than what actually Constitutes them because we're going to be seeing in a moment.
18:41
Some angels have wings some angels have certain appearance not in the
18:47
Assumed form but in the form that they exist which we cannot see because they are invisible To us, but they are created in a certain way in the spirit world so for us,
18:57
I think some of these things will but Necessarily remain as a mystery in terms of understanding what that Um entity is because obviously it's not physical but they do have as we'll see some angels have six wings some angels have
19:12
Faces that look like something that's similar to what we have and they are not assuming those forms.
19:17
This is who they are or this is how they uh appear in the spirit world, so we
19:23
We really don't we're not given much as I said Certainly and in fact both ezekiel and john will use the word like a lot because they can't really say it is this because They need words that need to describe something that they haven't ever seen before and they have to And i'll put some kind of analogy so we can
19:43
Get a little bit of a glimpse of what they've seen Thank you. That was an excellent point. Um now so this angel in balaam's case is actually
19:53
Appearing but not in an assumed form, but it is actually there with a drawn sword in fact, that's you see a sword even in genesis end of genesis 3 and we're going to see that angel in a moment, but The these angels had a certain function and this particular angel was there to kill balaam
20:13
If he would disobey the word of the lord, so there seems to be given what balaam was told before Uh, he had told god yeah,
20:20
I will say what you will say But as he's walking down only the lord knows what he was thinking and he's there and the angel comes there with a drawn sword
20:28
Uh, the donkey sees first and discerns and then the donkey starts talking and balaam still doesn't get it
20:33
And then god has to open his eyes. So he's finally like oh, okay. I'm in mortal danger here There's an angel before me and so you get to see this angel.
20:42
So the next example is just as um Spectacular second kings 6 17.
20:50
Thank you paul. So here you have the enemy armies And every time they try to attack israel
20:59
They seem israel seems to know all their battle plans and strategies. So the king the I think it's syria
21:04
He he says well, you know, we have a spy in our midst someone that is telling all our plans to them and they just know how to avoid all our
21:12
Uh saudis and then and they say no no, no they have a They have a prophet whose name is elijah and he elijah, right?
21:23
Thank you. I sometimes get them mixed up. So elijah and uh, he god reveals it to him and he's the one who
21:30
Tells the king and therefore we are unable to so the the king changes strategy. He says let's forget the
21:35
Uh israel, let's go after this prophet if we get him then we should be fine If I was the king i'd be thinking hmm
21:42
I'm, assuming he will already know If he knows that i've got to attack israel that i've got after him, but here he comes to dotan and the servant, uh of elijah is terrified because he sees this entire army against just Elisha and his servant.
21:58
I don't then they don't have i'm not sure they are skilled in warfare and elijah's words are those who are with us are greater than those who are with them and The servant
22:09
I don't know if it is gehazi who appears later, but the guy must be like I don't see anybody and then
22:16
Elisha prays and his eyes are open which really means he's just given the ability to see into the invisible world that We normally don't
22:26
Let me just stop there for a moment. Why do you think we normally don't have the ability? Why does god not give us the ability to see into the supernatural world?
22:36
That can be a strong temptation We're going to be seeing that in a moment. You see all these glorious beings many of these many of the people who first see them get terrified they're they're all of these glorious beings and then we would see you know, don't don't bash the catholics too much because uh,
22:54
John has trouble with that when he sees the angels in heaven He's like falling down and they have to pick him up and say no we are also servants
23:00
We are there to serve our god and you must worship god alone. And so the god in his wisdom doesn't
23:07
Show these things that are happening around us because our focus As we've seen in all of these texts our focus should not be on the angels
23:14
But in the god who created these angels who uses these angels in order that they may minister to us and we need to be aware of them because the scripture reveals god could have chosen to erase everything from the angels about the angels from the scriptures and we would be blissfully in Ignorant of the means that god uses in ministering to us but god has graciously opened our eyes to that truth and with that in that we rejoice but You can just imagine, uh the servants wonder as he sees all these chariots of fire around and God could have wiped out that army but again god graciously in that event chooses not to and if you are interested continue reading the rest of the
23:57
Chapter 6 in second kings. So the last one is luke 2 13. So here christmas time we think of the shepherds and These shepherds could see these angels.
24:09
They had their eyes opened into the splendor of these angels as they proclaim the good news the wonderful news that we have the savior who is born and And again you get glimpses of what these angels look like as you
24:26
See these eyes opened and we get to see them and the last one is hebrews 13 to who has that How many of you have done hospitality to strangers in the last year maybe?
24:38
ever wonder Uh, you know in the in the in the biblical time
24:45
Oh, actually before we go to our times, um, who who in the bible do you think was hospitable to strangers?
24:53
That's right. When did that happen? I think yeah In but that's that's a good good reminder of how you want to be.
25:01
Um hospitable to In in that particular case, so you have god himself and two angels with him that come and abraham invites them and gives them a meal and then
25:12
The two of the angels go forward into sodom and gomorrah and even there they are received well by lord and you get to see how
25:21
Um, and actually hebrews 13 is a more explicit verse, you know, we the point is there
25:28
The point there again is not hey get as many strangers in so maybe you might maybe see an angel The point there is be hospitable and remembering that sometimes, you know
25:39
Angels come in human form and you might actually be uh serving these angels and you know Say hi in heaven when you see them.
25:45
I don't know Yes Yes And that is true and you need to be a little careful in distinguishing these things because there is one
25:57
In terms of their constituent nature we need we go with what jesus said, you know Spirit doesn't have flesh and bones.
26:03
They don't have the kind of calcium based bones And I don't know what tissues are made of, you know, this is not the kind of stuff they have
26:12
So that's why an angel in and of itself doesn't have these things But you have these two other aspects we talked about one is they take on a body or they appear in human form, which is what um
26:26
I think hebrews 13 2 is talking about they don't look no different than any other human being so when you see them, you're not thinking oh, this is an alien or whatever, you know, well alien may not be a
26:40
I don't know if I just opened a bad can of worms but May not be a bad word to use in relation to angels because as far as we are concerned
26:48
They are alien to our understanding of what they are and what constitutes those beings because they do have um
26:58
Like the wings that I talked about there are certain things that they have They do that that angel in balaam's case had that sword, which
27:05
I don't know was another spiritual So but it could i'm sure cut just as fine as your sword when it came to balaam
27:10
And the donkey knew that and you know prevented balaam from dying So there are things that they can do spirit doesn't mean they they are incapable of doing certain things
27:19
They can do much more than we can do except without the body But when they come in this physical form,
27:26
I think everything you said, you know Everything a human being does like you said they grab their hands and move they did it in the same way that human beings would because they
27:35
Assume this form at this time Certainly. Yes um, there is just one caveat there that I want to emphasize the
27:44
Their appearance and disappearance is startling because many a time they just appear out of nowhere and then
27:51
Suddenly they disappear or they go up into the sky. And so the way they enter space or at least visible space to us is always
28:02
Well, we don't know how they do it. Maybe they just Turn on the invisible mode and then go away
28:08
Whatever it is that they do they they have They don't come keep Unless of course they assume a human body and they're a stranger they walk in your door and walk out the door then you you don't know it, but Once they cross the corner, they're gone but um
28:25
When it comes to time and space They are we need to be very careful because while they are spirit beings they are different than god in the sense that we know
28:37
God is omnipresent and um Wait omnipresent is space
28:43
Eternal in terms of time but eternally we normally think of in terms of line And that's where I think this in and out of time can come in because god is beyond time as well um, but when it comes to these
28:55
Angelic beings we have texts and I don't know if I have references here Where the angels are sent for example from heaven to earth
29:05
And in daniel's case, he is actually coming in response to a prayer
29:11
But he's hindered for 21 days by something else this prince of persia. So he's unable to reach his
29:16
Destination until michael comes and helps him and then this angel is able to communicate what god has and then he goes back.
29:23
So their Travel while different than our kind of travel is still they have
29:29
They have to move from place to place. It's not Like they are outside of space the way we would think of it they need to still travel when it comes to time when we said created there is a starting point of time, but then they are eternal beings like like we are now after our points of existence and and in that sense they are once again eternal, but um,
29:52
I don't know. I don't know of any text that talks about how they inhabit or Exhabit time
29:58
I think they from everything I see I think they still inhabit time except their bodies are out there not bodies their
30:04
Beings are different in the sense that they don't age they are created in a way that Uh doesn't decay like we do with the fall with our bodies
30:14
That's my uneducated guess so I don't want to take it further, but thank you and actually one of the points you mentioned charlie and charlie, please keep bringing these things because I think these conversations are more helpful than Just going through these texts because you have these verses we can go back and look hospitality is crucial to understand in the context of the old testament because Uh, there is no ins.
30:34
I mean think of the old testament in uh, abraham's time You know, here are the people traveling through weary people.
30:40
They need a place to rest and a food to eat and you look at Even in the new testament where you know by the time you have ends with the roman civilization.
30:50
These ends are disreputable These are not places that you really want your christian brothers to travel while you're going on missions and which is why you have uh, second john third john talking about how you must keep your doors open to people who are coming because This is all part of the body.
31:06
You are helping another brother or a sister in christ and that's hospitality is built in into that The into the fabric of that culture that you live here is how you serve your brothers when?
31:18
There is no place for them to go and um and in our context today, it doesn't mean that um you know you
31:27
It's necessarily A meal or a place to stay which may be the case depending on who needs the help uh, or if there is a need for such a help, but Just the same heart that these saints just displayed in the old in the new testament.
31:42
We want to have that same generosity to those who are in our midst and people that we don't know and a different kind of um, we may be seeing different kind of people in our environment people that maybe you're witnessing to people that you just want to show the love of god to and you want to be hospitable knowing that No, not knowing you're doing that for the glory of god
32:06
And you might end up accidentally serving some angels and uh, one of the things that where I disagree with grudem is um,
32:14
I don't know if if that happens today, you might actually find out that they are angels You might find them out in heaven
32:21
I don't know if the knowledge that you're entertaining an angel will be something you will know on this side of eternity I think that's just up to uh
32:29
Up to the lord. All right. So let's uh, any other thoughts charlie anything anything else you want to add?
32:37
Thank you. All right. Let's look at the next section quickly. Um, I need someone to read job one six
32:44
Thank you, um psalm 89 5. Thanks uh some Actually, can you do both 5 and 7?
32:52
Thanks. And then uh, he well, we already saw hebrews 1 14 We'll skip that daniel 4 13.
32:57
Thank you. All right. Let's begin with job 1 6 I'm not going to spend too much time on this sons of god, uh here referring to the angelic beings in the heaven
33:05
That are bringing back and um coming back to god and providing them information and not let me back up angel
33:12
Does actually I forgot to say this what does the word angel mean anglos? What is it yes messenger, yes and um
33:23
They are here But we saw ministering spirits from hebrew, but they are here As god's messengers and here god has these angels come back and kind of report out to him
33:34
We have several packs passages. Maybe we'll see a couple of them where we get to see these angels in this
33:41
In this mode of communicating and uh satan who is this fallen angel happens to show up as well in uh in job 1 who psalm 89, uh again here it is called the holy ones and and again the psalmist looking at god and the
33:59
Inhabitants of heaven, you know that he god just stands out. I mean we need to be always conscious that god is infinite in all of his
34:08
Attributes and yet he makes these beings holy In fact, we see
34:14
Them called as the elect angels in certain. I think it's in peter and you have
34:24
These angels that were made some fell And these fallen angels do not have a hope of redemption like we do but the unfallen ones are called the elect and these are the ones that will
34:36
Not fall and they are the holy ones that reflect the holiness of god in the holy presence of the god whom they worship we already saw how their spirits in hebrews 1 and the next one is uh watches and that's uh
34:50
Thank you. So this is king nebuchadnezzar. He has this dream He has this this tree that gets cut down.
34:55
And so he has this a vision and then he uh describes this vision to Daniel and then daniel then explains, um what this vision really means so he gives the meaning of this text, but It's a it's a very interesting word
35:10
To be used of angels. I realize we're out of time. So we'll probably stop here, but Watchers Are you being watched right now?
35:23
One of the things that we see about the angels is their worship. They are constantly worshiping god and especially here in a corporate worship
35:32
You know you need to be thinking, um, you know to me as I was preparing this thing through this week It was just a strong reminder.
35:38
I know that god is always watching me and these These angelic beings are not omniscient in the sense that god is because god watches everything at the same time and he observes all things but you have these angelic beings that uh exist and we saw the sons of heaven coming back and reporting even satan says
35:56
Have you seen jesus asked him have you considered my servant job and he's like, yeah, i've seen him. I know all about him um, except that he's got a big fence around his spiritual life and I can't get in and um
36:07
And the angels likewise also observe they know and we have many of these.
36:14
Um, Actually you we have in fact, I think it's the Matthew 10 18 10 where you talk about the
36:22
Little ones their angels are looking up to heaven so to their father in heaven So you have this sense in which there is this angels who are messengers who are ministering spirits for us and they are watching and observing and um
36:38
If you are serving in this unknown, um No one else knows what you've done.
36:43
You've been ministering to um strangers or just serving in an
36:49
In a in a far away place You never know what what agency god has placed, uh to protect you or watch over you and and vice versa if You are sinning in secret um
37:10
I mean just the knowledge that god is watching over you should be terrifying but there are other beings as well in fact,
37:16
I think when you think of corinthians and and worship in the corporate church Paul actually refers to that, you know
37:23
Because of the angels and there is a sense in which we need to be conscious that these beings exist
37:29
But just to wrap it up the rest of the stuff you have the references here so you can read them when you get home
37:36
Um God made these angels they serve a purpose in worshiping him
37:43
Uh, they actually are more keenly aware of the glories of god being in his presence And being able to see him without sin hindering their vision
37:51
And they are also ministering to us in ways that we are not meant to fully understand
37:57
They we are just given incidental information about them. So we wouldn't be aware of this angelic hosts that surround and execute the will of god in the lives of his people and We just turn that all into praise toward god.
38:10
We don't look up to angels or get obsessed with angelology nor do we
38:16
Look at a secular view and say, you know what angels ghosts spirits. No, they're all different there is
38:23
The world tries to explain phenomena in its own Modeled sense, but we have the scriptures that talk about Who these beings are and how we ought to rightly view them any other last questions before we close?
38:36
All right, let's pray Heavenly father we thank you lord for angels.
38:45
We thank you that you Have created so many wondrous beings that Serve you and that you use to serve us and I pray father that this morning as we worship
38:59
Our eyes would be fixed firmly upon you Throned enthroned on high as the creator of all beings and as the one who deserves all our praise
