Angels in the Bible Are Not What You Think

What does the Bible actually say about angels? Forget the paintings, halos, winged babies, and popular traditions for a moment. If all we had were the Scriptures, what picture of the heavenly realm would emerge? In this study, we follow the Biblical evidence from Genesis through Revelation and discover a far stranger and more fascinating picture than many people realize. We examine ordinary angels, Michael and Gabriel, cherubim, seraphim, Ezekiel's living creatures and wheels, the Watcher in Daniel, the sons of God, rebellious angels, demons, the mysterious Angel of YHWH, and other beings described throughout Scripture. Along the way we ask questions such as: Do angels actually have wings? Is Gabriel ever called an archangel? Were the angels at Yeshua's birth actually singing? What are cherubim and seraphim? Who are the sons of God in Genesis 6? Are demons the same thing as fallen angels? And why does the Angel of YHWH sometimes speak as God Himself? The goal is not speculation, but to distinguish carefully between what Scripture clearly says, what it suggests, and what later tradition has added. Primary passages include: Genesis 3, 6, 18-19 and 32; Exodus 3; Joshua 5; Judges 13; 2 Kings 19; Job 1-2 and 38; Psalm 89 and 91; Isaiah 6; Ezekiel 1, 10 and 28; Daniel 4, 8-10 and 12; Matthew 13, 22, 24 and 28; Luke 1-2; Acts 1 and 12; 2 Corinthians 11; Hebrews 1 and 13; 2 Peter 2; Jude; and Revelation.
