What is the name of the mighty angel in Revelation 10?

Answered by . June 9, 2012 - 2:21 pm

We are not told. In fact, we only know the names of two angels, despite many being mentioned in the Bible. The two named angels are Gabriel (Daniel 8:16;9:21; Luke 1:19,26) and Michael (Dan 10:13,21;12:1; Jude 9; Rev 12:7). The angel in John’s vision sounds extraordinarily impressive: Then I saw another mighty angel coming down […]

How tall was an angel of the Lord in the Old Testament?

Answered by . February 16, 2012 - 3:40 pm

Angels being immortal (Luke 20:35-36), would be the same in the New Testament times and the Old Testament times. There are several recorded instances in the Old Testament of angels being mistaken for men, therefore I conclude that angels would be similar in height to people. Some examples of angels being mistaken for people: Three […]

Why did the seraphim cover their faces?

Answered by . November 5, 2011 - 8:53 pm 1

This question is based on Isaiah 6:2. In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he […]

Do vampires exist? or anything supernatural?

Answered by . October 31, 2011 - 8:31 pm 1

God exists. Jesus Christ exists. Angels, which are God’s ministering spirits, exist. But that is all 1Co 8:4-6  Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.”  (5)  For although there may be so-called gods in heaven […]

What are the names of the 200 angels that fell?

Answered by . October 16, 2011 - 10:56 pm

This is a reference to the a writing known as the book of Enoch. Its poor content, as reading it easily shows, is evidence against it being any sort of authority. The reference to it in the New Testament book of Jude is best understood as critical, not supportive. It is one of the Jewish […]

Does it say anywhere in the Bible that we have guardian angels?

Answered by . August 23, 2011 - 8:16 pm 2

The Bible has some wonderful things to say about our relationship with the angels. For example, Hebrews 1:14 describes angels as ‘ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation’ — the angels minister to us for our good to bring us to eternal salvation! That’s simply amazing. […]

What did a cherub and a ‘wheel within a wheel’ look like?

Answered by . April 8, 2011 - 3:27 am 2

Although, probably to varying degrees of success, people have made attempts at depicting them,1 no one knows for sure what either a cherub or a ‘wheel within a wheel’ looks like. The descriptions we have about what they looked like can be found in places like Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10. In the answer to […]

What is a cherub?

Answered by . December 22, 2010 - 8:20 am 4

A cherub is an angelic being. They are sometimes described as the means by which God moves (2Sam. 22:11, cf. 1Chron. 28:18). The plural of ‘cherub’ is ‘cherubim’, as shown by passages like Exodus 25:18-19: And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of […]
