Angels around the throne - Re 5:2,11
Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the
book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Rev 5:11 And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living
creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand,
and thousands of thousands; Rev 5:12 saying with a great voice,
sounding the seven trumpets - cf. Re 8:2,6
Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven angels that stand before God; and there were given unto them
seven trumpets.
Rev 8:3 And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer;
ev 8:6 And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Seven bowls of wrath - cf. Re 16:1
Rev 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye,
and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.
In relation to the second coming and the coming age we see them again.
Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
Mat 25:31 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him,
then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: Mat 25:32 and before him shall be gathered all
the nations: and
In all these we see how the angels are part of the cosmos interacting with out realm to bring
healing and redemption. We also see that they are not present without a specific purpose to
the extent some people think that they are not really beings in existence, but were created
for specific purpose as robots or engines. While I don’t want to object totally to such a view,
