The "Testimony" that God Gave Of His Son!
Kat:
Hi Joe,
I am in agreement with you on all the points you made :)
Indeed what Christ is working in the human race through our life experience and judgment to become sons and daughters of the Father, is far greater than what the angels can obtain to.
But in the spiritual realm aren't there ranks of angels? Those that serve Christ and as in Rev. 19:10, "...A fellow servant..." maybe those angels will have no need of the judgment. In Rev. 14:10 there is mention of "...the holy angels..." and in Rev. 15:6 there are angels "...clothed in pure and white linen..." Now maybe this in some way is referring to the actual elect, but it does not appear so. The holy angels surely will continue in the serve of Christ, even when the elect are resurrected, so maybe they will also serve the elect as well, but just a thought.
There are sinning angels as in 2Petere 2:4 "For if God did not spare sinning angels..." and in Rev. 12:7 "...the dragon and his angels..." verse 9 "... the old serpent called Devil, and Satan...and his angels..."
So maybe the sinnnig angels are the ones to be judged and the holy angels surely will not need judging.
But anyway this is all just speculation, I just thought it was interesting :)
mercy, peace, and love

Two things come up for me reading your posts Joe and Kat and just to add on to what you both have shared most thankfully.
1 Cor 14 : 3…the one who prophesies, who interprets the divine will and purpose in inspired preaching and teaching speaks to men for their up building and constructive spiritual progress and encouragement and consolation.
So prophesy is something we do and it is also an office and gift from Christ.
Eph 4 : 11 And He gave some, apostles; and some PROPHETS and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers.
And Joe in line with what you have offered…
Heb 1 : 14 Are not the angels all ministering spirits, servants sent out in the service of God for the assistance of those who are to inherit salvation? (Amplified)
Heb 1 : 14 Isn’t it obvious that all angels are sent to help out with those lined up to receive salvation?( Message)
I believe that this is the match for Rev 19 : 10 perhaps hey Kat.
Peace to you

Hi Kat,
It is an interesting study for sure, like I said in a previous thread I do not have a real handle on the messenger/angel mystery or if only the "angels" of the devil will be purged.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him that God may be all in all.
Are there angels now that are truly, completely and totally perfect? If not what are they lacking, what will in fact perfect them. Will they learn perfection through the lives of Christ and the elect? These are questions I presently do not have answers for but I find interesting to think about.
His Peace to you Sister,
Joe

Yes that is a good scripture to add to this, concerning the angels, I guess they are our assistances. That is interesting, they maybe are working with us a lot and we just can not preceive it.
Yes Joe there are lots of things we don't know about them :-\
I am just looking at scripture about all these heavenly being, they certainly play a big role in Revelation, I would just like to come to a better understanding of them.
Thanks for the input :)

Kat
I enjoyed the study you did.
You brought this part to light for me : This is the same angel from Rev 17:1 "And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials came and talked with me,"
Don't you think that this shows all is opperated by God and God is ONE. It is all ONE...like here is this Angel TALKING to us and yet to others the Angel brings havoc!
Could this be a match do you think?
2 Cor 2 : 15,16 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16. To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life.
I am enjoying this bilble study......... ;D
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
