Angels back to extracts 10 min. read

An expression we often hear today is...
"I'll believe it when I see it."
but when it comes to angels the saying should be...
"If you don't believe it you will not see it."
That does not mean people should just have "blind faith."
Where religious matters are concerned the faith spoken about is regarding staying true to the ideals of the religion & not, for example in Christianity, believing in, worshiping or praying to other gods.
However learning to discern helps us...
Evolve & Grow

As far as most all of humanity is concerned angels have been created to bring messages, help in the understanding of life & provide protection against harm by guidance.
Including, at times, with direct intervention.
God wants us to learn about Him. That was one of the reasons why He created Jesus & the Christ consciousness.
That consciousness is more of an awareness of the higher self as part of a universal understanding of, among other things, ethics & empathy for which angels also play a role.
God made angels before He created humans & each of us have been assigned at least one angel trying to help, in the main, with our spiritual growth.
also Psalm 91 verse 11...
"For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways".
Revelations 5 verse 11...
"Then I looked, and I heard the sound of a vast number of angels thousands and thousands, millions and millions !
Daniel 7 verse 10...
Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.
Deuteronomy 33 verse 2...
...accompanied by a myriad of his holy ones.

People often ask do we become angels ?
Many theologians will say no however Jesus said...
Mark 9 verse 23...
"Anything is possible if a person believes".
It seems like we can become angels when considering the following... Billy Graham said...
"We can become better than angels."
On Earth we are less than angels but in heaven we can become better than angels as we are told we will judge angels. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 3.
Names given to Enoch in the Talmud are...
Prince or Angel of the Presence, Metatron & as Michael the archangel.
This was before his physical body was taken into heaven.
In the Book of Enoch chs. 39-67, Enoch gives some teaching to his children during his brief return back to the earth.
The account of his time during this visit states he had become like an angel.
chs. 68:9 The name of the fourth is Penemue (angel): he discovered for the children of men bitterness and sweetness:
10 And pointed out to them every secret of their wisdom.
11 He taught men to understand writing, and the use of Pen, ink and paper.
The first written text referring to angels is found in the writings of Enoch where he talks with angels called Watchers...
Watchers or supervisors for God.
Then there are Military angels.

Enoch 8:1–3a reads...
"And Azazel (a fallen angel) taught men to make swords and knives and shields and breastplates; and made known to them the metals [of the earth ].
Enoch was the first son of Cain.
He was said to have walked with God but that is hard to believe as Jesus said no one has ever seen Him or heard His voice.
However Jesus did say God announced Jesus' arrival & as such Enoch could have been walking & talking with the Lord of Earth Jesus or a yet to incarnate angelic representative of God, or a high Lord.
Enoch lists these seven angel & what they were responsible for...

Gabriel reigning over paradise with serpents & cherubim.
Michael reigning over the best part of mankind & over chaos.
Raguel a holy angel taking vengeance on the world of luminaries.
Raphael reigning over the spirits of men.
Remiel a holy angel whom God set over those who rise.
Saraqael reigning over the spirits that sin in the spirit.
Unriel reigning over Tartarus & the world.
The Angels were sent to help man against the corruption instigated by Satan & the fallen angels that upon arriving 'in' earth set out to corrupt the animals of the land, oceans & plants hundreds of thousands of years ago & then much later humans.
The later to arrive angels not only had to teach Enoch to read & write using words not cuneiform or hieroglyphics but how to make parchment & transcribe the words using ink instead of clay tablets.
Enoch was given instruction as to how to write by the heavenly angels in order for him to record everything the angels were going to reveal regarding events that would take place in thousands of years to come.
Note : When we pray we are never in direct contact with God.
We reach Him via Jesus through a variety of angels, guides & teachers each with distinct duties.
Prayer is often oriented on results or change making.
While meditation focuses more on an acceptance of the present.
There are nine types of angels with three groups known as choirs.
1) Thrones are angels that record events in the Book of life.
2) Dominions carry out God's judgment. They traverse between the heavenly & the physical realms trying to bring balance to the physical & spiritual regarding good & bad.
3) Seraphim seem to worship God without rest. They are called the fiery ones.
4) Cherubim are the nearest to God. They give off a strong light of love for God. Before he was expelled from heaven Satan was a cherubim.
Also known as Cherubs, they are the least of their group. They are animal - human hybrids that once guarded Eden against humankind.
5) Principalities guide towns, cities, countries & the world's nations. They look over religion & politics. They send angels on missions that provide protection for mankind who are in danger.
6) Powers are intimately involved with the Holy Spirit. They try to guide us away from temptations from evil entities.
7) Virtues bring order in all things. They neutralize the negativity in the world. They try keep mankind from doing the wrong thing.
They are purity. Many credit the Virtues like angles that carry out miracles. Raphael is the highest of the Virtues & even has the ability to remove pain.
8) Archangel means highest ranked Angel. Some say Michel is the one & only Archangel. They deal with matters that involve all human beings in general.
9) Guardians are nearest to mankind. They are the main messengers for God. They are comforting. They look most like human beings.
Do angels have wings is a question often asked ?
It is doubtful that an entity able to appear & disappear without the use of a mechanism to provide energy would need something like wings to move around.
There are no reports of angels having to flap their wings in order to take off & land.
They just appear out of thin air.
The Bible refers to angels but makes no mention of them having wings.
What might be occurring...

...when angels manifest into the earthly environment there could be a discharge of generated static electricity leaving a sparkling trail from their sides when ever they move.
Wings being the only words able to describe or be painted in those early days to account for a static electrical manifestation.
Their movement may not involve travel as we know it if say that movement is from dark matter; for which we now know is integral to life everywhere.

"Nonetheless, dark matter could, in principle, be present even...right under our noses"
Thank YOU.
