Understanding The Difference Between Good And Bad Angels

The book of Hebrews calls angels “ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation” (Hebrews 1:14). Angels minister in many ways to us, and I’d like to look at some of their ministries with examples from the scriptures as well as some modern anecdotes. Provision Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, Who set its measurements, since you know? Or who stretched the line on it? On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? Job 38:4-7 (NASB)Unlike the cherubim, the living creatures seem to have one face each. Instead of all four having the face of the man, ox, lion, and eagle, one living creature resembles a man, one an ox, etc. There’s also no mention of those whirring wheels. John the Revelator sees a vision of the heavenly throne room in Revelation chapter 4, and instead of cherubim or seraphim, he sees four “living creatures” surrounding the throne. The virgin Mary was surprised by one that apparently came through a wall and suddenly appeared in her room (Luke 1:28). This implies that angels as spirits can move through walls and go anywhere they desire. The violence and lawbreaking that Marlowe put on stage dogged the playwright’s life as well. In 1589 Marlowe was arrested and jailed for a fort-night over his involvement in a fatal brawl. The homicide would be ruled “in self-defence” and “not by felony.” For a time Marlowe shared quarters with playwright Thomas Kyd, and in 1593, when Kyd was arrested for sedition, the authorities discovered documents in his rooms containing “vile hereticall Conceiptes Denyinge the Deity of Jhesus Christ our Savior.” Kyd insisted that the papers belonged to Marlowe, and the Privy Council issued an arrest war-rant. Before it could be executed, however, Marlowe was killed in the house of Mrs. Eleanor Bull in Deptford, where the writer had spent the day with companions eating and drinking, in a scuffle ostensibly about who should pay the bill. An inquest ruled Marlowe’s death accidental, but conspiracy theories have persisted that Marlowe was assassinated for political or religious reasons or in connection with his espionage activities. The manner of Marlowe’s early death at age 29, as well as the details and rumors of a contentious and possibly shadowy secret life, have helped burnish the legend of a doomed literary artist of great genius who embodies baffling contradictions. Was Marlowe an Elizabethan apologist or an apostate? A scholar and intellectual, Marlowe was nevertheless a habitué of the seedy underworld of Elizabethan informers, spies, and tavern brawlers. He was the praised servant of the authoritarian, theocratic Elizabethan state but was also a radical freethinker and considered a dangerous religious skeptic. Marlowe’s plays exalt daring rebels even as they work out their inevitable punishment for transgressions of accepted limits. At the core of Marlowe’s life and works, therefore, are some of the fundamental contradictions of the Elizabethan (and the modern) age itself in its contention between the religious and the secular, the individual and the community, restraint versus liberation, power versus morality, ambition versus responsibility. These tensions are best expressed in the tragic moral fable of Doctor Faustus. Behind the question of, “Where are the angels?” is the very difficult problem of why a good God would allow pain and suffering. The book of Job gives us two important insights into the problem of pain: first, when disasters and suffering assail us in the physical realm, there may be something bigger and more important going on in the unseen spiritual realm. {5} Second, God never gives Job an answer to his demand to know the “why”: He just says, “I am the sovereign Lord, acting in ways you cannot understand. You just need to trust Me, that I know what I’m doing.” The fact that God is in control, that He allows all pain and suffering for a reason, is the great comfort that we need to remember when it seems like the angels have forsaken us. They haven’t, because God hasn’t. The Bad Angels

To illustrate my point, here is a story: Harold had been deeply hurt by his friend Mark. One night Harold had a very vivid dream of an angel who spoke to him, "Don’t get mad. Get even." In the dream a clever plan unfolded showing Harolda way tohurt Mark far more that Harold had been hurt—and no one would know that Harold had been behind it. But the Hebrew word translated “scapegoat” in this passage is azazel—and there’s good reason to believe it’s meant to be a name (just like “Yahweh” is a proper noun translated “LORD”). Dr. Mike Heiser has some more thoughts on this passage here, and even more thoughts on this in his book, The Unseen Realm.* Ezekiel 28:11-16 and Isaiah 14:13-14 suggest that one of the cherubim was the most beautiful creature in heaven. He was called the “anointed cherub” (note that cherubim is the plural form of cherub). He later rebelled against God and brought evil into the universe. Seraphim Angels Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation? Hebrews 1:14 (NASB) How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground . . . Isaiah 14:12 (NKJV) Evil Angels Are DemonsDo you have an article detailing which percentage, or how much of the Bible is made up by direct commands of God, or dialogue on God’s part? I’m asking this because too often I see verses mis-attributed to God, when somebody else was behind that quote. Someone once attributed Luke 4:6-7 to God, even though Satan was the one speaking! Another special type of angels are the seraphim. These angels are only found in the book of Isaiah. They have six wings.

This is a sign of a false teacher – an arrogant one – one who apparently has a light-hearted attitude towards angels and a selfish heart for himself or herself, one who feels in control and confident, one who does not understand scripture or what he is really dealing with. We are warned to resist Satan and his demons (James 4:7). Sometimes, angels rescue people in danger. It was an angel—if not the Angel of the Lord, who is the pre-incarnate Christ—who joined Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego in the fiery furnace, rescuing them from the flames (Daniel 3).An interesting aside, I was raised Roman Catholic and we sprinkled Holy Water on our bed at night to keep the devil away. The angels are still there, continuing to minister in pain and death. We usually don’t realize the role of angels in the midst of horrible circumstances because their work is unseen and often unfelt. Yet, all angels are in submission to God (Luke 8:29-31). They are not completely free to do as they want. Yet God has allowed them freedom to perform evil acts, just as God is allowing man to do evil. We are in a spiritual war zone with Satan and his demons (Ephesians 6:12). Satan and his army pretend to be messengers of truth or angels of light.
