where are they?do they walk the earth?how do they influence us?are there high powered angels here on earth?
Hi Smellycat
The Hebrew and Greek words for "angel" are used 500 times throughout the Bible. Thus, God clearly intended us to know about angels.
Here is just a summary of what these verses tell us about angels.
Angels are servants, to assist mankind come to salvation.
Man will eventually become greater than angels.
Angels have free will - and some went bad.
We are not to worship either good or fallen angels.
We are not even told most angels names.
We are not to communicate with angels through mediums.
Angels are not the spirits of dead humans. Angels are beings who were created by God/Christ.
Angels have different powers and glories. The archangels or cherubim like Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel are among the highest ranked angels.
Four other high-ranking angels or "beasts" ("Zoon" Gk) stand at the 4 corners of God's throne and have lion, ox, eagle and human faces - and 6 wings each.
Demons are confined to earth. The more vicious ones are imprisoned in the abyss or bottomless pit - perhaps the center of the earth.
Less dangerous ones roam the surface of the earth and may be contacted through shamans, fortune-tellers, mediums, witch-doctors etc. The Bible warns against contact with these spirits, and Christ was constantly casting them out of people. Some, Christ banished to the abyss because of their evil.
Some demons are the "gods" who were behind the religion of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Myans etc. All pagan religions are based upon demon-spirit worship.
Because demons are not allowed to manifest themselves today (as a rule) they are forced to use idols as their physical representation for people to bow before.
The wages of sin is death - for fallen angels too. Ezekiel 28 describes how Satan will be totally and utterly destroyed - burnt up in hell fire with the rest of the demons soon after the end of the Millennium.
In the end-times, paranormal manifestations will abound - used by the False Prophet to convince people to follow the Beast. A religious system incorporating all aspects of pagan worship down through the ages will present itself as a miracle-working Christianity. The False prophet will use his demonic power to pretend to be the returned Christ. God is going to release even very wicked demons now locked up in the abyss to enhance the delusion of humanity. People will be forced to choose the true God, or false gods (demons) in the end-time. Expect "miracles"/paranormal events to abound, performed by
demons through human agents, just before the end.
Good angels travel between God's throne and earth helping Christians, or just generally doing God's will and being God's eyes and hands.
This just scratches the surface of what could be said about angels.
