Summary
We're not, we know they're there, but what purpose do they serve? In Luke, the first chapter, we read of an angel coming to Mary announcing, in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts, praising God, and saying, glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors, I love how the angels constantly break out in praise and worship. In Ephesians, chapter 6, we read that our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, who is worthy to open the scroll and break it seals, and no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. Because the angels' purpose was for that moment, the lion of Judah, the root of Jesse, the lamb slaughtered, their purpose is to rejoice, rejoice that Jesus is worthy to open the scroll, and through His worthiness, through His conquering and triumph over death and the devil and the grave, He has made us worthy to sing with all the angels, the multitude that heavenly host, the glory and praise to Christ.
