GENERAL INFORMATION CONTINUED...
ANGELS ARE ALSO MADE TO WORSHIP YAHWEH!
You can see that by the Psalms references I gave above for the hosts of heaven for example.
Psalm 103:20-21 " 20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. "
Psalm 148:2 "Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. "
Isaiah 6:1-3 " 1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory. "
Revelation 4:8 " And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. "
This sounds very much like worshiping the Lord and presenting yourself before Him!
Job 1:6 " Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. "
Job 2:1 " Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. "
Even Satan presented himself before the Lord... this makes me wonder if there is not at least an honoring of God by Satan because he can still come with the other bene ha-elochim to present himself with them before God. Before Satan fell and became known as Satan or the Devil or that Crooked Serpent, he was called Halayl in Isaiah 14 (Lucifer in Latin)... that very name was a worship word to Yahweh! So, angels are created to worship... and you see that in Heaven.
Luke 2:8-15 - Worshiping the newborn Jesus Christ!
WE ARE GOING TO EXPLORE THE WORKS OF ANGELS IN DETAIL IN THIS STUDY, BUT UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS AT WORK IN THE BACKGROUND.
Genesis 28:11-17 - I know that this is Jacob's dream, but it was given to him by God. He saw the activity of angels and described them as best as he could.
SOMETIMES EQUATED WITH "SONS OF GOD" AND STARS IN BIBLICAL REFERENCES :
They are called sometimes the stars of God ( separate from the actual stars of course, probably because the angels are in charge of the heavenly places ), and also in the Old Testament, the sons of God ( not the only begotten Son of the New Testament ).
Here are some examples:
Job 1:6 - There are times that angels come in a place where they can meet with the manifested Yahweh God. There is a place seen by prophets such as Ezekiel and John and even Paul, that is referred to as the 3rd Heaven. An extradimensional place beyond our four dimensional reality.
It isnt so much as the planet heaven, but another plane.
But Satan was one of these angelic beings, and although he was obviously fallen then, he still had the right at this time to appear with the other "sons of God" (bene ha-Elohim). He is a bene ha-Elohim as well... a fallen one.
The Hebrew expression is sometimes translated sons of the mighty or ye mighty in the KJV in places.
Psalm 29:1 " A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength."
Psalm 89:6 " For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? [who] among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? "
This is an ancient way of expressing these mighty beings that would by nature cause a superstitious fear in primitive people. These are "supernatural" in the context of what we are constrained to in being limited by 4-dimensional existence.
Job 2:1 - this suggests that this is a regular scheduled event in Heaven.... for what its worth I think its interesting.
I am speculating, but it does seem interesting that there was a "day" where they could present themselves before the Lord. The universe I think is a much more interesting and organized place than people believe.
        THEY ARE ALSO EQUATED WITH THE STARS... STARS THAT SING AND HAVE KEYS
Job 38:5-7 " 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? " - Stellar bodies do not sing (being big balls of burning gas with nuclear fusion)... although it might be said that all of creation sings unto the Lord, but taken in context here they sons of God and morning stars were the angels who sang and rejoiced in the Lord when the foundations of the Earth was created by God.
Angels are in charge of the Heavenly places and are connected to the star that they are in charge of... also the thought is heavenly beings shining.
They sang... morning stars... bright ones, and all the bene ha-Elohim shouted for joy before this Earth was created. They are "old" in nature.
Also, keep in mind the idea that the angels are attached to their stars, and that Halal when he fell in the rebellion against God and became Satan, fell "here" on the world... to the Earth.
Luke 10:18-19; Isaiah 14:12-15
By the way, the heights of the clouds is probably a reference to the clouds of the Earth... the 1st Heaven in Hebrew thinking. That is debatable though. But it looks as if the Earth is the place that Halal (Lucifer) was when he wanted to ascend to where God was.
        THIS SHOWS THAT ANGELS WERE CREATED BEFORE THE EARTH WAS FORMED BY GOD.
Isaiah 14:13 " For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: " - the stars that Satan wanted to exalt himself above was the congregation of angels in Heaven.
Revelation 12:4 - 2/3 of the angels are still holy.
How many angels are there? How big is the universe? I dont know, but there is a great number. We know that the 1/3 of the fallen ones will in the middle of what is called the Tribulation Period... or Daniels 70th Week taken in the middle of the week and bound to planet Earth.
In other words, we dont have them all yet... but we will in the midst of the that week of years.
Revelation 12:3-4
Revelation 12:6-9
Revelation 12:12-13 - The tail of the Dragon (Satan-the cherub who fell) has taken 1/3 of the angels with him. At this time in the last time of the last days, they and he will have a war against Michael and lose... and be cast down again to the Earth, and this time to stay.
And all the angels that are fallen at this time will be cast down with him. These dark angels will no longer go through the heavens... but are cast down as the last of the rebels go through the fire before the end of this age.
A purification of the universe and the planet Earth is in progress... but restoration is coming.
Revelation 9:1-2 " 1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. " - this star was a 'he' with a key to the abyss from God.
This star is a he... it is an angel given a great responsibility. To open the opening to the abyss (Greek abussos), or bottomless pit. This is a "nether"(for lack of a better word) region... a place of outer darkness and chains for a special class of fallen angels.
They are bound now, and will be released at this time just before the middle of the 7 years. These are not human like in the appearance, although it is doubtful that mankind will be able to actually see what it is that is bringing such deep torment to them... outside of the darkness of the volcanic eruption that comes with it.
NOTE: there is non-biblical mystical literature that speaks of the "old ones" that shall come and be released from their prison and bring the earth into darkness. This is that event, but no man or order has the key... no witches spell can open the abyss... there is an angel of God that will be given the key by God. And until the time chosen by the Lord, it will remain sealed.
