rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin. My authority resides in him. [22] If you<br />

heed his voice <strong>and</strong> carry out <strong>all</strong> I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies <strong>and</strong> a foe to<br />

your foes.<br />

[23] "My angel will go before you <strong>and</strong> bring you to <strong>the</strong> Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites,<br />

Hivites <strong>and</strong> Jebusites; <strong>and</strong> I will wipe <strong>the</strong>m out.<br />

David emphasized this protection of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Angels</strong> over Israel<br />

Psalm 34:8 The angel of <strong>the</strong> LORD, who encamps with <strong>the</strong>m, delivers <strong>all</strong> who fear God.<br />

It seems that <strong>the</strong>re are evil <strong>Angels</strong> also in power over o<strong>the</strong>r nations. In Daniel <strong>the</strong> Prince of<br />

Persia is said to have fought with <strong>the</strong> angels in charge of Israel <strong>and</strong> Michael is mentioned as<br />

one.<br />

Daniel 10:13 but <strong>the</strong> prince of <strong>the</strong> kingdom of Persia stood in my way for twenty-one<br />

days, until fin<strong>all</strong>y Michael, one of <strong>the</strong> chief princes, came to help me. I left him <strong>the</strong>re with <strong>the</strong><br />

prince of <strong>the</strong> kings of Persia,<br />

Daniel 10:21 But I will shew <strong>the</strong>e that which is noted in <strong>the</strong> scripture of truth: <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>re is<br />

none that holdeth with me in <strong>the</strong>se things, but Michael your prince<br />

Daniel 12:1 And at that time sh<strong>all</strong> Michael st<strong>and</strong> up, <strong>the</strong> great prince which st<strong>and</strong>eth<br />

for <strong>the</strong> children of thy people: <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>re sh<strong>all</strong> be a time of trouble, such as never was<br />

since <strong>the</strong>re was a nation even to that same time: <strong>and</strong> at that time thy people sh<strong>all</strong> be delivered,<br />

every one that sh<strong>all</strong> be found written in <strong>the</strong> book.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> vision of Paul an angel in charge of Macedonia invited him to go to Macedonia <strong>and</strong><br />

help.<br />

Acts 16:9 During (<strong>the</strong>) night Paul had a vision. A Macedonian stood before him <strong>and</strong> implored<br />

him with <strong>the</strong>se words, "Come over to Macedonia <strong>and</strong> help us."<br />

In <strong>the</strong> book of Revelation an angel is assigned to each of <strong>the</strong> seven churches.<br />

Rev. 1:20 This is <strong>the</strong> secret meaning of <strong>the</strong> seven stars you saw in my right h<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> of<br />

<strong>the</strong> seven gold lampst<strong>and</strong>s: <strong>the</strong> seven stars are <strong>the</strong> angels of <strong>the</strong> seven churches, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

seven lampst<strong>and</strong>s are <strong>the</strong> seven churches.<br />

Rev. 3:1 "To <strong>the</strong> angel of <strong>the</strong> church in Sardis, write this:<br />

" 'The one who has <strong>the</strong> seven spirits of God <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> seven stars says this: "I know your<br />

works, that you have <strong>the</strong> reputation of being alive, but you are dead.<br />
