The Angels In Heaven!
"Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many
angels around the throne, the living creatures,
and the elders; and the number of them was
ten thousand times ten thousand,
and
thousands of thousands."
Revelation 5: 11
Eschatology is the study of the last things.
The most eschatologically focused book of
the Bible is Revelation. And what Revelation
mentions more than any book of the Bible is
angels. Angels are mentioned in Revelation
more than seventy times.
While there are many reasons to anticipate
a
future in heaven, one is often overlooked: the
opportunity to witness the reality and presence
of the innumerable angels who have served
God and His people for eons.
We may even encounter an angel sent
to us
to minister in a time of our need! God through
Jesus Christ has taken away the fear of death
for all who belong to Him (Hebrews 2:14-15).
Just as God has a fiery destination prepared for
“the
devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41), God
prepared the beautiful destination for His angels
and those who belong to Christ (Hebrews 12:22).
If you belong to God through faith in Christ,
your future is with God and His angels in
heaven. Thank God today for that promise!
"Why shouldest thou be
afraid to die, who hopest
to live by dying!"
