One of the many countless benefits we enjoy as children of God and kings and priests in the Kingdom of God is the authority to dispatch angels. Jesus spoke of the dispatching of angels just before the cross:This is a very important part of the last days plan of God for the sons of God and the overcoming Warrior Bride of Christ and all the glorious things that are a part of True Eschatology. Angels are spiritual servants of God who serve us: Hebrews 1:13-14 New King James Version (NKJV) 13 But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? The availability of them is age old and not specific to any covenant but have always been in the unseen realms around servants of God as evidenced by this awesome display or warring angels around the prophet Elisha: 2 Kings 6:16-17 New King James Version (NKJV) 16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. Matthew 26:53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? And we do not need to doubt that Jesus wants to give us this authority as well since he himself said we would do the same things he did and greater things: John 14:12 New King James Version (NKJV) 12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. Hebrews 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, Revelation 12:3-4 New King James Version (NKJV) 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. From this they argue that there are a finite number of angels and that one-third of them rebelled with Satan. There are four main types of angels: Healing, Warring, Messenger, and Strength. These four categories are revealed in the four faces of the cherubim(which also are another class of being and not angels) that God showed Ezekiel: Ezekiel 1:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. |
