[Music] hello dear viewers of the Bible stories Channel today we embark on a fascinating and enlightening Journey as we explore one of the most intriguing and mysterious themes of the scriptures Angels these Celestial beings piak our curiosity not only due to their frequent presence in the Bible but also because of the complexity of their stories and divine missions let's unravel a lesser-known aspect about a particular Angel leading us to a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm angels are Celestial beings that Captivate the interest of people including those who are not Christians endowed with Supernatural Powers
they are responsible for protecting and guarding the lives of God's children attending to their needs according to the father's commands the Bible states in the book of Hebrews that there are thousands upon thousands of angels in heaven however the word of the Lord presents us with the names of only a few three of these names are known to most people who study the scriptures but there is a fourth name that almost no one has heard of and it is about these four beings that we will talk about in today's video before we proceed it's important
to make something very clear angels are not spirits of people who have died the claim that good people who die on Earth become angels of God is false the Bible is very clear in stating that we human beings and angels are not part of the same class massive creatures of the Lord let's read what is written in Psalm 8 what is man that you are mindful of him and the son of man that you care for him you made him a little lower than the Heavenly beings and crowned him with Glory and Honor you made
him ruler over the works of your hands you put everything under his feet all flocks and herds and the beasts of the field the birds of the air and the fish of the sea all that swim the paths of the Seas another important point is that among the celestial beings we are going to study there are also the Fallen Angels who were cast out of heaven and thrown to the Earth the first Angel mentioned in the Bible is Satan according to Genesis 1 on the second day of creation after God had already created day and
night he created the heavens some Scholars say that on that same day the Angels were created and among them was one who was remarkable for his Beauty and power Miguel the Archangel is one of the most well-known and powerful angels of God he belongs to a higher order among the Angels being a Celestial being who acts as a messenger on special missions furthermore he is a great warrior The Book of Revelation 12 shows us that it was he who led the army of angels in heaven against Satan another passage that is quite remarkable is in
the book of Jude which tells us that Michael fought against the devil for the body of Moses notice that as powerful as he was Michael showed wisdom and not defaming the enemy but letting God rebuke him let's read what is written but even the Archangel Michael when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said the Lord rebuke you and in the Book of Daniel it is reported that God sent an angel to deliver a message to the prophet but the Prince of
Persia who was an agent of Satan tried to hinder the messenger so God sent Archangel Michael to assist see what Daniel said about this event next to me there was a man who touched me and gave me strength strength he said Daniel you who are highly esteemed consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you and stand up for I have now been sent to you and when he said this to me I stood up trembling then he continued do not be afraid Daniel since the first day that you set your mind to
gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God your words were heard and I have come in response to them but the prince of the Persian Kingdom resisted me 21 days then Michael one of the chief princes came to help me because I was detained there with the King of Persia now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future for the vision concerns a time yet to come brothers and sisters all these accounts show us that Michael is indeed one of the most powerful Celestial beings Gabriel on
the other hand is known as the angel of messages and important missions from God just recall the Christmas Stories We Have Heard since childhood it was he who brought Mary the news that she would give birth to the son of of God he also appeared to interpret Daniel's Vision about a ram and a goat Gabriel appeared in the form of a man and explained that the vision was about the end of [Music] times later this Angel appeared again to Daniel bringing understanding of his vision after he prayed for forgiveness for the sins of his people
let's read what the Bible says while I Daniel was praying and confessing my sin and the sin of My People Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his Holy Hill while I was still in prayer Gabriel the man I had seen in the earlier vision came to me in Swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice he instructed me and said to me Daniel I have now come to give you insight and understanding as soon as you began to pray a word went out which I have come to tell you
for you are highly esteemed therefore consider the word and understand the vision and many years later the angel appeared to the priest Zachariah when he was offering in sense to God in the temple Gabriel prophesied to Zechariah that he and his wife would have a son named John the Baptist and that this son would be responsible for preparing the people to receive the Savior Zachariah doubted the message and as punishment for his unbelief he was made mute until the child was born 6 months after speaking to Zachariah the angel Gabriel appeared to a young woman
named Mary and told her she would become pregnant and give birth to the Son of God Mary did not understand being still a virgin but Gabriel explained that the Holy Spirit would come upon her now let's move on to the last named angel in the Bible whom most people are not even aware of his name is abdon or apolon abdon or apalon are the names in Hebrew and Greek that mean Angel of the Abyss these names reference destruction this Angel is mentioned by the Apostle John in Revelation chapter 9 during the sounding of the fifth
trumpet let's see what the Bible says about him the fifth angel sounded his trumpet and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the Earth the star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss when he opened the abyss smoke Rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace the Sun and Sky were darkened by the smoke from the abyss and out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth they were given power like that of scorpions of the earth they were told not to harm the grass of
the Earth or any plant or tree but only those people who did not have the Seal of God on their foreheads they were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for 5 months and the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion during those days people will seek death but will not find it as we conclude this episode we hope you have enjoyed the exploration of the Angelic stories a theme that connects us to the Divine and helps us better understand our faith revisiting the narratives of Michael Gabriel
and abadan we are reminded of the rich richness and depth contained within the pages of the Bible may we continue to learn reflect and grow together unraveling the Mysteries and precious teachings that the word of God offers us thank you for joining us on this journey in Bible stories until the next adventure [Music]
