Our Business In This World!
"Who makes His angels spirits
and His ministers a flame of fire."
Hebrews 1: 7
Look out the window and you’ll see different kinds of birds flying about
the trees, depending on where you live—robins, wrens, crows, maybe a
heron or ibis. Think of the variety of flowers, fruits, gemstones, and birds
alone.There's a great variety in creation. So, why would we expect every
angel to be alike?
Much of this is still a mystery for us. But from passages of Scripture
that speaks this, we know there’s an array of angelic beings. Isaiah 6
describes the order of angels known as seraphim, and Ezekiel talks
about cherubim. Two angels—Michael and Gabriel—are archangels.
The Bible speaks of the heavenly hosts as if they are great
angelic armies organized by rank (Psalm 103:21) or great
choirs organized by voice (Luke 2:13).
There are different types of angels with different purposes, just as
people; each is made to accomplish the tasks the Lord has for us.
One day we’ll work and sing and worship side by side with angels.
In fact, we’re doing it now more than we know.
But oh, how wonderful to see them face to face!
"I do not know how to explain it; I cannot tell how it is;
but I believe angels have a great deal to do with the
business of this world."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
