The famous form of blessed messengers ends up being very far away the imprint. The Bible portrays heavenly attendants as neither the rotund children found in Renaissance craftsmanship, or our perished family members who lounge around playing harps the entire day. Heavenly attendants in the Bible are couriers and heroes, and their appearance is obviously unnerving. Be that as it may, these brilliant creatures were utilized by God at that point, and still are utilized currently, to do unimaginably amazing things.
From the main sections of Genesis to the end stanzas of Revelation, blessed messengers assume a significant part in Scripture and are dynamic all through the tale of God's kin. Holy messengers are ground-breaking, intriguing, and show up from numerous points of view and in a wide range of circumstances. We are likely acquainted with huge numbers of the blessed messengers that show up in Scripture: the heavenly attendant who protected Eden, the blessed messenger Gabriel who declared the introduction of Christ, the lead celestial host Michael, and numerous others. All in all, who precisely are these interesting creatures, and what job do they play in our present reality?
What Is an Angel?

Notwithstanding what we may have found in kid's shows and films, heavenly attendants are not individuals who have kicked the bucket, presently sitting on mists playing harps and holding on to win their wings. This can make for an incredible storyline, yet it is basically not exact. Holy messengers are made creatures, made for God's administration and not the same as individuals. Jews 1:14 gives us this connection among people and holy messengers, "Are not all heavenly attendants serving spirits shipped off serve the individuals who will acquire salvation?"
Jesus lets us know in Matthew 22:30 that in paradise we will turn out to be more similar to blessed messengers in specific regards, saying, "at the revival individuals will neither wed nor be given in marriage; they will resemble the holy messengers in paradise." This doesn't imply that we really become heavenly attendants, however that we will be liberated from the things of earth and have the option to see and make the most of our Father similarly that heavenly attendants do. Blessed messengers are unceasingly singing the gestures of recognition of God, and we will likewise venerate him perpetually similarly.
What Do Angels Really Resemble?
Sacred writing doesn't give any exact depictions of what holy messengers resemble, and they regularly show up in various structures. We do have signs however, that anyway they show up they are astonishing to observe. A few heavenly attendants in Scripture show up as ordinary men, and we are cautioned that we could associate with blessed messengers without knowing. Truth be told, Hebrews 13:2 gives us this guidance, "Remember to show cordiality to outsiders, for by so doing a few people have demonstrated friendliness to holy messengers without knowing it."
In certain circumstances, holy messengers show up as typical men. This is seen in celestial appearances to Abraham, Gideon and Lot, in Genesis 19.
In different circumstances, they are incredible and alarming. Despite the fact that heavenly attendants can be scary in appearance, we are not to love holy messengers, but rather God alone. One model is found in Revelation 19:9-10, "At that point the holy messenger said to me, 'Compose this: Blessed are the individuals who are welcome to the wedding dinner of the Lamb!' And he included, 'These are the genuine expressions of God.' At this I fell at his feet to venerate him. However, he said to me, "Don't do that! I am an individual worker with you and with your siblings and sisters who hold to the declaration of Jesus. Love God! For it is the Spirit of prescience who bears declaration to Jesus.'"
Do Angels Have Wings?
Numerous sections depict heavenly attendants as having wings, for example, Isaiah 6:1-3, which portrays the calling of Isaiah. "In the year that King Uzziah kicked the bucket, I saw the Lord, high and lifted up, situated on a seat; and the train of his robe filled the sanctuary. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they secured their appearances, with two they secured their feet, and with two they were flying. Furthermore, they were calling to each other: "Heavenly, sacred, blessed is the LORD Almighty; the entire earth is brimming with his magnificence."
The blessed messengers on the Ark of the Covenant additionally show up with wings, so unmistakably probably a few heavenly attendants have wings, and appear to us in that way.
Are There Different Types of Angels?
Realizing that holy messengers show up from numerous points of view and in various circumstances, it bodes well that there must be various types of heavenly attendants. This view is upheld by Scripture, which gives models.
The six-winged blessed messengers that appear to Isaiah are portrayed as Seraphim.
The two-winged blessed messengers on the Ark of the Covenant are portrayed as Cherubim.
The Bible additionally records Archangels, for example, Michael, who are believed to be better than the others and other-worldly pioneers.

I bring you uplifting news that will cause extraordinary euphoria for all the individuals. Today in the town of David a Savior has been destined to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Suddenly an incredible organization of the great host showed up with the blessed messenger, applauding God and saying, 'Greatness to God in the most noteworthy paradise, and on earth harmony to those on whom his kindness rests.'"
The criticalness is that one holy messenger is abruptly joined by many, all broadcasting the uplifting news of salvation. Once more, they seem terrifying to the shepherds, yet guarantee them that there isn't anything to fear.
4. The Invisible Angelic Armies
These heavenly attendants show up in 2 Kings 6:15-17, and are an update that God's workers are imperceptibly grinding away among us.

"What's more, Elisha supplicated, 'Open his eyes, LORD, with the goal that he may see.' Then the LORD opened the worker's eyes, and he looked and saw the slopes loaded with ponies and chariots of fire all around Elisha."
What an excellent update that God is consistently grinding away among us, in any event, when we don't see it.

This heavenly attendant appears to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the blazing heater (Daniel 3:24-25), to Gideon (Judges 6:11-12), and Abraham (Genesis 22:15). Regardless of whether this is Jesus, or a significant brilliant holy messenger, the Angel of the Lord has a remarkably significant spot all through the Old Testament.
Despite the fact that we will never know everything to think about holy messengers on this side of Heaven, these eminent creatures are dynamic, significant workers of God. They are battling profound fighting for our benefit, offering us solace and hold an uncommon spot in the account of Scripture.
