The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 5: The Unseen Kingdom of God: Angels

Angels

                The greater “programs,” however, govern very complex things.  They rule over the Elementals.  These greater spirits are the tools that God would command to help Him shape and craft and design the Elementals into whatever He has dreamed up.  These beings would be more like humans in that they could reason and assess problems and adjust things accordingly so that whatever is wrong it is fixed to line up with the plan of God. 

                These greater beings would be servants of God and they would directly control things under His ultimate authority.  Therefore, I am categorizing these greater spirits as “Angels.”  After all, in the Bible, it is angels that do the bulk of God’s work for Him so that He does not have to.  Just look at the Old Testament.  More often than not, an angel was delivering God’s messages, prayers, judgment, etc.  Most of the time, it was not God Himself, but God would send His angels to do His work for Him. 

                The same is true in the New Testament as well, if you notice.  Angels came to Mary and Joseph and so forth.  Angels appeared to the shepherds by night.  It was an angel that saved Peter from the prison.  Over and over again, we see angels doing the bulk of God’s work. God would command, and they would obey.

                In this way, God can enjoy His creation…all of it…instead of having to spend a great deal of time and effort every moment to sustain and maintain all things.  Yes, God is an infinitely powerful being, but if you were God and you could have someone else handle the day-to-day affairs of your kingdom, even if it was an easy task for you, wouldn’t you let that person handle it?  If you knew you could trust them, wouldn’t you gladly give over your tasks to them so you wouldn’t have to handle everything yourself?
