Hebrews chapter 1, verse 14, makes it very clear that the angel's role is to minister,

it is to serve the air of salvation. They are to serve the believers at the behest of God.

They serve the believers at the command of God. They serve the believers at the order of God, not their

own volition because they have none of their own. They administer the purpose of God in the lives

of the believers. That's what the role of angel is. And so if you don't know the Lord of the angels, all the talk about angels

will not help you. Try what you may. The angels will not protect you. And the Bible gives

us a clear picture about what the angels doing both in heaven and on earth. The Bible teaches us that in heaven, the angels are forever

magnifying the name of God, that in heaven they are serving, they are worshiping,

they are executing the orders of God. In heaven, the angels are forever extolling the majesty of God.

They are forever praising the Lamb of God that was slain before the foundation of the earth.

They are forever thanking and praising the Lord Jesus Christ for leaving the glories of heaven

and dying on a cross in order to pay

for the wages of sinners around the world.

That's what they're doing in heaven.

On earth, they are executing God's purpose on earth.

On earth, they are ministering to the believers.

On earth, they are protecting the believers at the command of God.

They even rule nations, as we're going to see in chapter 12 of the book of Daniel.

Turn, please with me, to Daniel 12.

And here we see Daniel around the age of 86 or 87, give or take. A few months here and a few months there.

We saw him in the beginning of the book of Daniel at the age of 14, standing firm for God.

And here we see him at the age of 86 standing firm for God. And here we see him at the age of 86, standing firm for God. What a faithful man.
