God, Satan and the angels ARE souls. God speaks and identifies Himself as a soul in Isaiah 42:1, “Behold my servant whom I uphold; mine elect in whom My soul delights…" God is the author of all life, including the angels. Job 12:10, “In whose [...]
It can be either or both. When Adam sinned and was cast out of Eden, the Lord told him: “Cursed is the ground because of you,” Genesis 3:11. God had specially prepared the garden for man and man could have had everlasting life. The area outside the garden, [...]
Jesus never focused on the power of Satan and his fallen angels. If this were an important issue, Jesus would certainly have warned us! We know Satan works to oppose us through our fallen flesh; the present, evil world; and maneuvering forces to hurt [...]
The word "angel" in the Bible is translated from the Hebrew word malawk in the Old Testament and the Greek word angelos in the New. Both words mean "messenger." These messengers could be in the form of human or spiritual beings. For example, both [...]
Yes, it is possible. Satan can cast out Satan by promoting contradictory partial lies. His response to combat the legitimate increase of knowledge is to “transform” himself into an “angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, 3, 1 Corinthians 15:24-26, Matthew 7:22-23. He disguises himself [...]
In general, God used messengers to speak to humans. Examples would be when Gabriel spoke to Mary, “During Elizabeth’s sixth month of pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin” (Luke 1:26, 27), and also spoke to Zacharias, [...]
The heavenly being, Michael, is only identified as the archangel in Jude 1:9, “Michael the archangel.” The word “angel” means a messenger or ambassador. Archangel would include the thought of chief messenger or representative of God. “Michael” is Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance Hebrew #4317 and [...]
We only know the names of three angels, Michael the archangel, Gabriel and Lucifer the devil. Michael the archangel is in Daniel 10 and 12 and Jude 1:9. Michael means "one who as God" and refers to Jesus. (The Revelation 12:7 reference refers symbolically to [...]
It sounds as if you are asking, “will Christians have a higher position in heaven than angels?” The answer is - yes and we don’t know. There are two classes of Christians during the present period. They are represented as wise virgins and foolish [...]
We do not know what the body of any spirit or heavenly being is like. Jesus taught that spirit beings were like the wind. He said to Nicodemus, “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not [...]
Summary: The Devil, Lucifer, was cast out after he sinned in the Garden of Eden. Explanation: “Take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “ ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of [...]
No where in the Bible is an angel identified as a female. The Bible does not give us much information about angelic life in heaven. It doesn’t tell us about angelic genders or even angelic names. In fact, when Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, [...]
In Genesis 1:27, God said “Let us make man in our image…” God was talking to the Logos (Jesus’ name before he became a human) and the angelic family. God is the great architect of His plan and He used the Logos and the angels to [...]
First, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 15:50), and therefore anyone who is in Heaven does not have a fleshly body (of the earth, earthy). They have celestial or spirit bodies. God, Jesus, and angels are spirit beings. John [...]
There are five places where Michael is spoken of in the Bible. Daniel 10:13, “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there [...]
The word angel basically means “messenger of God.” Angels are not composed of physical matter but are spirit beings created by God (Hebrews 1:14). They can materialize in human form when God permits or wills it so (Genesis 19). There are different orders or ranks [...]
The great judgment day of Christ will accomplish a glorious work of abolishing all evil, and bringing all beings in heaven and earth into subjection to God, that “He may be all in all.” (I Corinthians 15:28) The Christ – head and body- will [...]
Angels are not necessarily holy nor unholy. The word angel in the Bible comes from the Hebrew word “mal’ak” or the Greek word “aggelos,” both meaning “messenger.” Angel can refer to human messengers such as in Matthew 11:7-10 which quotes Malachi 3:1, “...I will [...]
To answer the first question, we turn to Jude 1:6 “… and the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation …”. This says that angels descended to earth. The sons of God were angels created by God, and the [...]
