  Speaker 1: In a dive into the sacred pages, we discover the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: presence of divine beings, the angels. Although the scriptures speak
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of multitudes of angels in the heavens, their names often
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: remain unknown. Our journey begins with the revelation of four
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: angels named in the Bible, each playing a divinely assigned role.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Get ready to unravel the secrets of these four angels,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: exploring their stories and missions as revealed in the scriptures.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Let's kick off this celestial journey. We understand from the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: scriptures that angels are messengers of God. They are also
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: sent by God to attend to the needs of the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: saints and all those who are heirs of common salvation.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: The Bible records that there are multitudes of angels in heaven,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: as in Hebrews Chapter twelve, verse twenty two. The company
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of angels in heaven is countless. However, we are not
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: as familiar with their names. An another objection we'd like
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to address. Regarding most references to angels that I've seen lately,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it becomes clear that the writers assume they are the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: spirits of the dead returning to Earth. Now, according to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the scriptures, there is not a Word of truth. In
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: such a conception, Angels are celestial beings created by God.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: They are not the disembodied spirits of humans. Psalm eight,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: verse five says that we were made a little lower
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: than the angels. We are not even of the same
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: order of beings. They were created before men. When Adam
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and Eve sinned and were expelled from the garden, an
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: angel at the gate prevented them from re entering this
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: paradisiacal home. Read Genesis three, verse twenty four. Angels were
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: specially created. They neither marry nor are given in marriage,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: as in Matthew twenty two, verse thirty. So the angels
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of God were here before men, were made by God,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: each of them except for the angels who failed and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: sinned with Lucifer. The holy angels of God love their
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: creator and obey all his commandments. Read Psalm one hundred three,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: verse twenty. There are various orders of the angelic host.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Seraphim and Cherubim are mentioned in Isaiah six, verse two
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and Psalm eighty verse one. Angels are here to help people,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: men and women, boys and girls. The Bible is a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: book of angels, and throughout scripture we have only four
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: named angels. This includes fallen angels and holy angels. We
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: will do a brief study of each of them in
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the roles they play according to the task divinely assigned
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to them. Let's start with Lucifer, the fallen angel. Isaiah
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: chapter fourteen, verse twelve referred to Lucifer as one of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the angels in heaven before his eventual fall as a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: result of his pride and conspiracy against the Most High,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: when the devil decided to exalt himself. We see in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Isaiah fourteen, verse twelve, how you have fallen from heaven, O, Lucifer,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: son of the Morning. How you are cut down to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the ground, you who weaken the nations. For you have
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven above
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the stars of God. I will exalt my throne and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: sit on the mount of the Congregation, on the farthest
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Lucifer was a beautiful creature in heaven, as we see
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in the Bible, a magnificent creature. The prophet Ezekiel described
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: him as the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: perfect in beauty. Every precious stone was his covering. He
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: was the anointed cherub who covers. He was perfect in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: his ways from the day he was created. Lucifer was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: completely adorned by the Creator to reflect his glory. Now
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: let's move on to Michael. The archangel. Michael is known
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: as the Archangel of God, meaning chief Angel. Scripture often
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: refers to the archangel Michael as a chief prince of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the angels in heaven. Michael is one of the archangels
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in heaven associated with war. You may notice that most
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of the time he is mentioned in the scriptures there
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: is a battle to be fought. Michael won't be mentioned
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: much when there is no war. He is a spiritual warrior.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He specializes in waging battles. The archangel Michael will play
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a significant role in the events of the end times,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: as we expect to see in the Last Days of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Daniel chapter twelve, verse one. At that time, Michael will
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: rise the great Prince who stands for the children of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: your people. Please note the chosen words in the Bible.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: He cares for the children of your people. Not only
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is he the angel associated with war, but he is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: also a protector. Moreover, he may be the angel of one.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Thessalonians Chapter four, verse sixteen, of which Paul writes, the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Lord himself with a shout, with the voice of an archangel,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and with the trumpet of God will descend from heaven,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and the dead in Christ will rise first. In Revelation
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Chapter twelve, verses seven to nine, we read how the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: archangel Michael led the battle against the devil and the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: fallen angels, and they were cast out of heaven. Pride
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: made Lucifer try to fight against the Almighty. Having found
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: out that his plans were discovered. He was hardened by
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: pride and subsequently tried to wage war, but pride sponsored
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: his fall. The archangel Michael and his angels fought against
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Lucifer until there was no longer a place for him
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in heaven. Revelation twelve, verses seven and eight report them
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the events of the war in heaven like this, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: against the dragon, and the dragon fought with his angels,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: but they did not prevail, nor was their place found
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in heaven anymore. Pride is the path that leads to destruction.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Michael is notable for his great strength when it comes
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to engaging in battles. He defeated the devil and cast
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: him out of heaven when iniquity was found in him again.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Michael fulfilled his ministry of war when Daniel prayed for
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: twenty one days, but the answer to his prayer was
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: withheld by the Prince of Persia. The Prince of Persia
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: fought against another angel who would bring the answers to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Daniel's prayers. Due to Daniel's persistence in the place of prayer,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Michael had to intervene, rescuing the other angel from the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: hands of the Prince of Persia. As recorded in Daniel
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Chapter ten, verses twelve thirteen, the angel finally came to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Daniel and said, do not fear, Daniel, for from the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: first day that you set your heart to understand and
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I have come in response to them. But the Prince
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of the Kingdom of Persia withstood me for twenty one days.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And behold, Michael, one of the chief princes came to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: help me, for I had been left alone there with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the kings of Persia. Michael defeated the Prince of Persia
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and also rebuked the devil in the name of the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Lord when contending for the body of Moses. In Jude
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: chapter one, verse nine, Michael is appointed by God to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: fight in battles, and he has never lost any The
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: fact that Michael is an archangel proves that there are
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: orders and rankings among the angels. For example, it wasn't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: just Michael who fought against the Devil and his angels
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in Revelation chapter twelve, verses seventy nine, but he led
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: other angels, showing that he is their commander in chief.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I would also like to highlight the fact that in
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Daniel chapter ten, verse thirteen, Michael is referred to as
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: one of the chief princes, suggesting that there are more
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in heaven. The Bible remains silent on this, however. The
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: angel Gabriel, if you've heard the Christmas story, probably recognizes
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Gabriel as the name of the angel who brought Mary
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the news that she would conceive and give birth to Jesus.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Gabriel is one of the only two good angels named
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: in the Bible, the other being Michael, whom we just discussed.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Gabriel is sometimes called the archangel Gabriel, although the Bible
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: never gives him that title. The main function assigned to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the angel Gabriel is to deliver good news to the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: people of God. The angel Gabriel is also associated with
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: good news. He was sent to Zechariah the priest, to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: deliver the message of the conception of John the Baptist,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: who was the precursor of Jesus. On a certain day,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Zechariah entered the temple, and we see in Luke chapter one,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: verse eleven, an angel of the Lord appeared to him,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: standing to the right of the altar of incense. This
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: angel was Gabriel. Gabriel gave Zechariah the news that his wife, Elizabeth,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: would have a son. This news was strange to Zechariah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: as he said to the angel in verse eighteen, how
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: can I be sure of this? I am an old man,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and my wife is well along in years. In verse nineteen,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the angel answered him, I am Gabriel, who stands in
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the presence of God. I was sent to speak to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you and bring you this good news, continuing in verse twenty.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And now you will be silent and not able to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: speak until the day these things take place because you
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: their appointed time. Additionally, Gabriel was sent to Mary, who
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: became the mother of Jesus in Luke chapter one, verses
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: twenty eight to thirty one, with the following words, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the Angel coming in unto her said, hail thou, that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: art highly favored. The Lord is with thee blessed, art
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: thou among women. But when she saw him, she was
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: manner of salutation this should be. And the Angel said
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: unto her, fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favor
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: with God. And behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: It was also Gabriel who appeared to Joseph, Mary's betrothed,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: in Luke chapter one, verse twenty six, to appeal to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: him not to abandon Mary, as her conception was by
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. Because every time Gabriel appears in the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Bible he brings good news to the people, society has
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: portrayed him as a cute and flowery messenger resembling Cupid.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: This is entirely incorrect. When Gabriel appeared to Zechariah, Mary,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and Daniel. All three were struck with fear and seized
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: by dread. For Zechariah in Luke chapter one, verse twelve,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: when Zechariah saw him, he was troubled and fear fell
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: upon him. And Mary in Luke chapter one, verse twenty nine,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: when she saw him, was troubled at his saying, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: considered what kind of salutation this might be. And then
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Daniel says in Daniel chapter eight, verse seventeen, he came
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: near to where I stood, and when he came, I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: was afraid and fell on my face. He had to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: reassure each of them before continuing with his messages. Now
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: let's move on to the last angel named in the Bible.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Most people don't even know he's in the Bible, let
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: alone that he's described as an angel. The angel that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: most people have never heard of, makes his appearance in
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the last book of the New Testament, the Book of Revelation.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: His name is Abidin or Apollyon. Not many Christians have
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: heard of an angel called Abaden. They are mostly aware
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of Michael and Gabriel, probably because they have appeared in
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: various biblical passages. Abaden is the same as Apollyon, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: was mentioned in Revelation nine, verse eleven, which says, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they had as king over them the Angel of the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abidin, but in
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Greek he has the name Apollyon. In Revelation nine, verse eleven,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Abidin is not a place, but rather the king of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the locusts. Many commentators have identified Abidin as Satan, but
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: it is more likely that the Angel of the abyss
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: is one of the princes or powers under the devil
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Ephesian six, verse twelve. He is more likely one of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: those entities described in Ephesians. Although Satan has been called
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: by many names, Apollyon is not one of them. Abaden
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: seems to be a demon working under the one who
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: rules an abyss full of locusts that will appear in
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the last days. Abaden means a destroying angel. He is
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the angel in charge of the bottomless pit where the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: devil will be cast. Abadon is the king of the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: locusts that will come out of the bottomless pit. I
