The Origin Of Angels (2 Of 16)
Series: Angels! Angels! Angels!
Dr. Stan Coffey
Introduction:
In our first lesson we learned that angels are a reality of encouragement for the children of God. In view of the invasion of the occult that we have experienced in the last twenty years, the study of angels is timely and helpful in our Christian walk. We reviewed the reasons for the study of angels which were to increase our knowledge of God's word, to provide comfort and assurance, to increase our faith in a sovereign God, to increase our appreciation for God's holiness to magnify the grace of God, and to challenge us to Christian living and greater devotion to Christ.

B. The Act of the Creation of Angels.
1. The time of their creation.
a. They were created before man and the earth because they had fallen by Genesis chapter 3.
b. Scripture implies that angels were all created at the same time - Colossians 1:16.
c. Job 38:7 indicates that angels sang together and shouted for joy at the creati ...
