Introduction
Many
of
us
have
a
conceptual
understanding
of
angels.
For
some
of
us,
our
understanding
of
angels
is
based
upon
what
we
have
read
in
the
Bible,
books
or
seen
in
movies.
For
example,
if
you
were
asked
to
draw
a
picture
of
an
angel
and describe what the angel does…what would you draw and what would you say? (Think about your answer.)
Some
may
draw
a
human-like
angel
with
a
white
flowing
garment
and
wings
as
they
fly
around
or
play
a
musical
instrument (likely a harp). I must admit this describes my conceptual understanding just a short time ago.
The
intent
of
this
writing
is
to
replace
our
conceptual
images
with
definitive
scripture-based
information
that
supports
a
more accurate, deeper and broader understanding of angels.
