THE QUESTION OF MIRACLES: DO ANGELS EXIST?
ANGELIC MIRACLESThe Bible is filled with stories about angels, but many of us have had our view of angels confused by popular misconceptions about them, the principal of which is that angels do not actually exist anymore than fairies do, or wood nymphs or water sprites. But they do exist and the Bible attests to their existence innumerable times.
The word “angel” is simply the New Testament Greek word meaning “messenger,” so angels are powerful celestial beings created by God to carry his messages and to otherwise do his bidding.
In the Bible they are often said to be carrying swords—something my friend Peter Martin corroborates in the first story of this chapter.
So in saying what angels are—according to what we know from the Bible—we must also say what angels are not. For one thing, they are not fey, effeminate creatures, languid as a Victorian heroine. They are also not chubby and unthreatening cherubs.
Most angels we see in Scripture are exceedingly fierce and usually terrifying to humans, whether they have swords or not.
Many of us have heard the term “seraphs,” which refers to the seraphim, the highest order of angelic beings, having six wings and being charged with guarding the throne of God.
