Angels and their Existence
 Angels have always
Played a major role in
God’s dealing with
Man.
Angels have been used
to announce major
events in the time table
of God’s redemptive
plan for man.
The Origins of Sin
 Sin has it’s source, at it’s
roots, in Heaven when
Lucifer wanted to exalt
himself above the throne
of God. This is the birthing
of sin in the universe. He
and a third of the angels
that followed him where
ultimately cast down as
lightning from Heaven.
This is where this course
will begin.
“The Existence of Angels”
Chapter 1
 The Books of Law – Torah or Pentateuch
The word angel appears thirty-two times in
the writings of Moses.
“The Existence of Angels”
 In Exodus*, Moses was
called by the Angel of
Jehovah to deliver Israel
from Egypt, and an angel
led Moses and the
Israelites through the
wilderness journeys. Most
angels were recognized as
messengers but Moses
regards the Angel of
Jehovah as more than an
ordinary angel wherever
he appears in the
narrative; Moses regards
him as deity*.
“The Existence of Angels”
 The Books of History – “The Neviim” known as the
Prophets
The word angel appears about thirty-seven times in
the books of Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, 2
Kings, and 1 and 2 Chronicles.
Most occurrences are in the book of Judges where
the Angel of Jehovah, considered more than an
angel, conversed, passed judgment, and
comforted His people
“The Existence of Angels”
 The Prophets
Isaiah makes two references to the Angel of Jehovah as defending Israel
and defeating her enemies*. Again this is no ordinary angel. Seraphim
(Fiery ones) are referred to in 6:2, but does not use the word angel.
Jeremiah and Ezekiel do not use the word angel, but Ezekiel does
mention cherubim. Gabriel, who appears in Luke 1, appears first to
Daniel with a revelation of the future of Israel. (Daniel 9:20-27)
 The Books of Poetry – “The Ktuvim or Writings”
Job and Psalms contribute to our knowledge of good and evil angels.
Satan is represented as one of the spirits called ‘the sons of God” in
Job 1:6 and 2:1
They are God’s energetic and fervent servants ( Psalm 104:4) and His
devoted worshipers. ( Psalm 103:20; 148:2)

Testament Writers

The first three gospels ( the
