After the war in heaven, Satan and his fallen angels
were confined to the earth and holy angels were also placed on this
planet to carry out God's orders. In fact, their sphere of influence
even includes the weather. After the fall of man, God ordered angels
to guard the Tree of Life, effectively denying Adam and Eve and
their offspring access to the Garden of Eden. This assignment lasted
1,600 years until Noah's flood. Jesus and two angels visited Abraham
on their way to Sodom and Gomorrah and later Lot and his family were
miraculously rescued by the same angels. God sent an angel to Joshua
prior to the invasion of Canaan. The Lord also sent an angel to
strengthen Gideon and prepare him for the road ahead. The prophet
Ezekiel was shown holy angels who are assigned to execute the people
that have been judged and sentenced to death by God. You could liken
God's angels to the armed forces of the United States which are in
charge of keeping the nation safe and battling any enemy that
threatens its interests. Nothing happens by chance on this earth and
the physical world in which we live is highly regulated by holy
angels acting on God's behalf. |
