LESSON INTRODUCTION
Angels are supernatural beings, created by God. In both the Old Testament (Hebrew: mal’akh) and the New Testament (Greek: angelos), the word simply means “messenger” (Revelation 19:10). Biblically, angels are often strange and fearsome beings, sent by God as intermediaries to communicate with human beings on His behalf. Their messages include warnings, revelations, prophecies, deliverance and counsel. Angelic visitations bring comfort and protection, but at the same time, they can be mysterious and terrifying (Luke 2:9). The ministry of angels is rooted in the word of God (Psalm 103:20-21).
LESSON OUTLINE 1: DESCRIPTION AND CATEGORIES
A. Angels are part of God’s creations (Psalm 148:2, 5), and they are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:13-14).
B. In their makeup, they are greater in power and might than man (2 Peter 2:11; 2 Kings 19:35).
C. Angels are not omniscient like God; for instance, they do not know the time of the coming of Christ (Matthew 24:36).
D. Also, angels are not omnipresent; they are said to go from place to place (Daniel 9:21-23).
E. They are not to be worshipped nor prayed to by humans (Colossians 2:18; Revelation 22:8-9).
F. They neither die nor get married (Luke 20:36; Mark 12:25).
G. The number of the existing angels is unknown, but the Bible referred to them as innumerable (Hebrews 12:22).
H. Angels are in categories, including:
i. Archangels: The title “archangel” suggests authority or leadership among angels. Archangels are powerful warriors often seen as protectors of God’s people (Jude 1:9). They have a pivotal role in God’s end-time plan (1 Thessalonians 4:16).
ii. Cherubim: These are the protectors of sacred spaces and divine secrets (Genesis 3:24). They have multiple faces – a human, a lion, and an eagle – each indicating qualities such as wisdom, power, service and swiftness (Ezekiel 10:14-15). They also have multiple wings and are covered with eyes for awareness and vigilance (Ezekiel 10:9, 12). God is portrayed as riding on a cherub (Psalm 18:10).
iii. Seraphim: These are described as fiery, six-winged beings that stand in the presence of God. One pair of wings covers their eyes, one covers their feet, and with another they fly around the throne of the Lord (Isaiah 6:2). Their primary role is to worship and exalt God’s holiness (Isaiah 6:3). They serve as a bridge between God’s holiness and humanity’s imperfection (Isaiah 6:6-7).
iv. Angels: Angels rescued Lot and his family (Genesis 19:15-16), opposed Balaam and his donkey (Numbers 22:21-31), nearly destroyed Jerusalem for David’s sin (2 Samuel 24:10-16), and slaughtered 185,000 Assyrian soldiers overnight (2 Kings 19:35). Frequently, they appear holding a sword (Numbers 22:31). Sometimes, God’s angels can take the form of humans to deliver His message to man (Genesis 18 and 19).
CLASS ACTIVITY 1:
Students should discuss why angels are not to be worshipped or prayed to.
LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE BENEFITS
We benefit from the ministry of angels in the following ways:
A. Angels supply supernatural strength to God’s children (Luke 22:43).
B. They give godly guidance (Matthew 1:20).
C. They deliver revelation and prophetic messages (Luke 1:5-16).
D. They are sent to deliver God’s children from danger (Psalm 34:7).
E. God’s angels are present wherever a child of God is (Psalm 91:11).
CLASS ACTIVITY 2:
Students should share testimonies of how God used angels to minister to them.
