Angelic Itervention

ANGELIC INTERVENTION IN HUMAN LIVES

 

There is an interesting little statement found in (1 Cor 11:10) that states that a woman should wear a "head covering because of the angels", which has been a source of contention in certain circles for years. In (Heb 1:14) we read angels are all "ministering spirits sent forth to those who will inherit salvation". But we know from other scriptures that there are some "fallen" evil angels, as well as God's righteous holy angels. These fallen angels that we mentioned in a recent article are now part of the devil's wicked evil army that fights against the people of God. This must be the "angels" that Paul is referring to here. The scriptures mention more than one group of fallen angels, beside the main group that followed Lucifer in his rebellion against God that caused his being cast out of heaven. (Isa 14:12-21). Then we read in (Job 1:6. and 38:4-7) the term "sons of God" is used for angels, long before there were humans on earth. This term is used again for angels in (Gen 6:1-2) were it describes apparently, the same group that Jude in the NT describes in (Jude 6-7) these angels left heaven which was their normal abode and had prohibited sexual perversion with human women. The offspring of those perverted unions were referred to as "giants" or the Hebrew word was "nephilim", from a root word meaning "to fall", which referred to these "fallen angels".

 

When you put all this together and compare the results of our extremely perverted sexual conditions today, we have to wonder why God hasn't destroyed our complete society again! Peter discusses this same subject in

(2 Peter 2:4-7), but thank God for the words from (2 Peter 3:8-9) that because of His long suffering, our generation has not been destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah. Apparently these particular fallen angels who in rebellion against God, left their former state and had these perverse sexual relations are now confined to a particular part of hell called in Greek [tartarus], awaiting judgment. But the ones who followed Lucifer in his rebellion still have access to the "heavenly realms" between the first and third heaven, which is often referred to as the heavenly places, where they function as the "rulers and powers" in the devil's evil army. These are the spiritual forces we battle against, besides the many "earth bound" demons that hinder our spiritual walk down here on earth. These demons can be cast out, but not the fallen angels that must be "displaced"!!

Sincerely submitted.
