What we know about angels (from God’s perspective) comes only by way of the Word of God. So what does the Word of God tell us (and some of these are interesting facts)?

Angels have been and probably continue to be involved with man (Psalm 91:11-12; Hebrews 13:2).

Only two verses support the theory that me might have personal, “guardian angels” (Matthew 18:10; Acts 12:15). I personally find more comfort in knowing that at any moment God can send us an army of angels to meet the gravest need.

If there is such a thing as guardian angels, not everyone has one (Hebrews 1:14).

Man is never to worship angels. Only fallen angels will allow themselves to be worshipped – and you wouldn’t want one of them as your guardian (Revelation 5:11-12; Colossians 2:18).

Angels are amazed at God’s salvation of man. But angels can never be saved themselves (Luke 15:10; 1 Peter 1:12).

Angels minister to believers in death, but they can never die (Luke 16:22; 24:51; 20:36).

Angels praise God and rejoice but we cannot prove they actually sing (Psalm 148:2, 5; Luke 2:13). The rejoicing in the presence of the angels could very well be a reference to the saints surrounding them.

In the Bible all angels are represented as male. There are no female or baby angels (cupid).

God’s angels occasionally appear in bright white but they are not the angels of light (2 Cor 11:14-15).

Christ commands thousands of angels but when He died, He did not call for even one (Rev 5:11; Matt 26:53).

A single angel can destroy thousands in a night (2 Kings 19:35).

Apparently only one angel will announce the Lord’s second coming but all the angels will accompany Him (1 Thess 4:16; Matt 16:27).
