The angels are the children of God. Job chapter 1, Good or bad.
They are minstering spirits unto the body of Christ, Gods children in natural/spiritual existance in this world age. Good or bad.
Good for the benifit of Gods children, and bad for the correction of Gods children.
The word angel is defined as: messenger, son, worker
The Lord stated that we (Gods children in this world dispensation), were as the angels.
There were those that rebelled against God, and their leader (satan), has been destined to eternal damnation because of it.
The king of tarus: reference
They do have free will to choose and to act, and the only creatures that donot, are the four beast that stand before the throne of God. The Zoid who now protect the throne against any opposition.
Note: this was the position of the covering cheribs, which satan was one of, but when he rebelled against God, these four creatures ( which have no will but to protect the throne of God), were created to fulfill this duty until all prophercy pertaining to the church is complete.
The angels written about in Gen. chapter 6, the nephilim, rebelled against God the second time by comming to the earth and joining with the natural existance of the flesh, and for this, God has chained them in eternal darkness. Jude
The word "nephilim" in the old hebrew language was derived from two other words meaning: Napha - to fall or fallen, and ohim which is the plural sense when attached to the end of any hebrew word, and in this case the angels are referenced. The fallen ones or angels.
The apostle Paul teaches in 11 Cor. that they are comming back to help satan (anti-christ) to deceive the nations.
They will be cast into the lake of fire on the day of the Lord, along with the false prophet and the two beast of Reverlation.
