Another type of angel are the <strong>cherubim<\/strong>. After Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, the powerful cherubim guarded the Tree of Life with a flaming sword.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>archangel rank is the highest<\/strong> of the angelic hosts. Michael, the archangel,&nbsp; has a name which means &ldquo;who is like God&rdquo;&ndash;not Jehovah God- but &ldquo;one who as God,&rdquo; or The Son of God (our Lord Jesus Christ).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the <strong>fallen angels<\/strong>. Lucifer is their chief. Before the flood, these angels materialized as male humans, married human women, and had a mixed breed of children, called the Nephilim (Genesis 6:1-4). This situation was such an abomination in God&rsquo;s sight, that He caused the flood. Subsequently, God confined these fallen angels with chains of darkness in Tartaroo (2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6).&nbsp; The sinful angels&rsquo; and Lucifer&rsquo;s final end will be complete destruction (Ezekiel 28:12-19, Revelation 20:10).<\/p>\n<p>The Bible doesn&rsquo;t give us details about life in the heavenly realm. The scriptures give us instruction and information about how to live to glorify God. Our Heavenly&nbsp; Father wants us to focus on following His will now. He did not tell us about heaven because we could not comprehend it and it would be a distraction.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The word angel basically means &ldquo;messenger of God.&rdquo; Angels are not composed of physical matter but are spirit beings created by God (Hebrews 1:14).&nbsp;They can materialize in human form when God permits or wills it&nbsp; so (Genesis 19).&nbsp; There are different orders or ranks of angels in&nbsp;heaven.&nbsp;Those that covered the throne in heaven were mighty &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/what-are-the-different-types-of-angels-in-heaven\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;What are the different types of angels in heaven?&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sermons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37104\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
