GEN 3:24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the

way to the tree of life.

16:7 The angel of the LORD found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.

19:1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.

24:7 "The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me out of my father's household and my native land and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, 'To your offspring I will give this land'--he will send his angel before you so that you can get a wife for my son from there.

EXO 3:2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.

14:19 Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel's army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them,

23:20 "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.

23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.

32:34 Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish

them for their sin."

NUM 20:16 but when we cried out to the LORD, he heard our cry and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. "Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on

the edge of your territory.

22:22 But God was very angry when he went, and the angelof the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat

her to get her back on the road.

24 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between two vineyards, with walls on both sides.

25 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. So he beat her again.

26 Then the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place

where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left.

27 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam,

and he was angry and beat her with his staff.

35 The angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

JOS 5:14 "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and

asked him, "What message does my Lord have for his servant?"

JDG 2:1 The angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I swore to give to your forefathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you,

13:6 Then the woman went to her husband and told him, "A man of God came to me. He looked like an angel of God, very awesome. I didn't ask him where he came from, and he didn't tell me his name.

2SA 14:17 "And now your servant says, 'May the word of my lord the king bring me rest, for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning

good and evil. May the LORD your God be with you.'"

20 Your servant Joab did this to change the present situation. My lord has wisdom like that of an angel of God--he knows everything that happens in

the land."

19:27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like an angel of God; so do whatever pleases you.

24:16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

17 When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to the LORD, "I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep.

What have they done? Let your hand fall upon me and my family."

1KI 19:5 Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat."

7 The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you."

2KI 1:15 The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not be afraid of him." So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.

6:17 And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of

horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

19:35 That night the angel of the LORD went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up

the next morning--there were all the dead bodies!

1CH 21:15 And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah

the Jebusite.

16 David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then

David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.

32:21 And the LORD sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and the leaders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons cut him down with the sword.

NEH 9:6 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the

multitudes of heaven worship you.

JOB 4:18 If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error,

38:7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

PSA 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.

35:5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away;

6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.

78:49 He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation and hostility--a band of destroying angels.

91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

103:20-21 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

148:2 Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.

ISA 6:2 Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.

63:9 In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them

up and carried them all the days of old.

EZE 1:13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.

14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.

24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the

roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of

an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

DAN 4:13 "In the visions I saw while lying in my bed, I looked, and there before me was a messenger, a holy one, coming down from heaven.

6:22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king."

7:10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before

him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, "How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled--the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and

the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host that will be trampled underfoot?"

9:21 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.

23 As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the message and

understand the vision:

10:6 His body was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.

10 A hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

11 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.

12 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.

13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained

there with the king of Persia.

14 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."

15 While he was saying this to me, I bowed with my face toward the ground and was speechless.

ZEC 1:9 I asked, "What are these, my lord?" The angel who was talking with me answered, "I will show you what they are."

11 And they reported to the angel of the LORD, who was standing among the myrtle trees, "We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world

at rest and in peace."

12 Then the angel of the LORD said, "LORD Almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?"

13 So the LORD spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who talked with me.

14 Then the angel who was speaking to me said, "Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,

6:5 The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.

MAT 1:20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

2:13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to

Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."

19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

4:6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a

stone.'"

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

13:39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.

49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.

18:10 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

22:30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

24:31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

25:31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.

26:53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

28:2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down

from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.

5 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

MAR 1:13 and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

8:38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

12:25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

13:27 And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

LUK 1:11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

13 But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.

18 Zechariah asked the angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years."

19 The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."

30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.

34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"

35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be

called the Son of God.

38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.

2:9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

4:10 For it is written: "'He will command his angelsconcerning you to guard you carefully;

12:8 "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.

9 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.

15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

16:22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angelscarried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.

20:36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.

22:43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

JOH 1:51 He then added, "I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

5:4

ACT 5:19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out.

7:30 "After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.

35 "This is the same Moses whom they had rejected with the words, 'Who made you ruler and judge?' He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

53 you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it."

8:26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road--the desert road--that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza."

10:3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, "Cornelius!"

12:7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell.

He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and

the chains fell off Peter's wrists.

9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the

angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.

23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the

Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

27:23 Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood

beside me

1CO 6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the

things of this life!

GAL 3:19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of

transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The

law was put into effect through angels by a mediator.

EPH 3:10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom

of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly

realms,

PHI 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the

name that is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth

and under the earth,

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God

the Father.

COL 1:16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on

earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or

authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

2:18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of

angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail

about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle

notions.

1TH 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud

command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God,

and the dead in Christ will rise first.

2TH 1:7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This

will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire

with his powerful angels.

1TI 3:16 Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He

appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was

preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in

glory.

5:21 I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect

angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing

out of favoritism.

HEB 1:4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has

inherited is superior to theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I

have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be

my Son"?

6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let

all God's angels worship him."

7 In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his

servants flames of fire."

13 To which of the angels did God ever say, "Sit at my right hand until I

make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?

14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will

inherit salvation?

2:2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation

and disobedience received its just punishment,

7 You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory

and honor

16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants.

12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city

of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in

joyful assembly,

13:2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people

have entertained angels without knowing it.

1PE 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but

you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who

have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even

angels long to look into these things.

3:22 who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand--with angels,

authorities and powers in submission to him.

2PE 2:11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do

not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the

Lord.

JUD 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but

abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness, bound with

everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.

9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil

about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation

against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the

Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones

15 to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly

acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly

sinners have spoken against him."

REV 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his

servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel

to his servant John,

5:2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy

to break the seals and open the scroll?"

3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the

scroll or even look inside it.

4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the

scroll or look inside.

5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the

tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the

scroll and its seven seals."

6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the

center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the

elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of

God sent out into all the earth.

7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the

throne.

8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four

elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding

golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open

its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men

for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and

they will reign on the earth."

11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands

upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the

throne and the living creatures and the elders.

12 In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to

receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and

praise!"

13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth

and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the

throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever

and ever!"

14 The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and

worshiped.

7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the

earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from

blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the

living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been

given power to harm the land and the sea:

3 "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the

foreheads of the servants of our God."

11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders

and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the

throne and worshiped God,

12 saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and

power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"

13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they,

and where did they come from?"

14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come

out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them

white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and

night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent

over them.

16 Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun

will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.

17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he

will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every

tear from their eyes."

8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were

given seven trumpets.

3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He

was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the

golden altar before the throne.

4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went

up before God from the angel's hand.

5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and

hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes

of lightning and an earthquake.

6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.

7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed

with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was

burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was

burned up.

8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge

mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned

into blood,

9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the

ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a

torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of

water--

11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter,

and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was

struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of

them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of

the night.

13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a

loud voice: "Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the

trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!"

9:15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and

day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

10:1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed

in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and

his legs were like fiery pillars.

12:7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against

the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.

14:10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured

full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning

sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.

15:1 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with

the seven last plagues--last, because with them God's wrath is completed.

18:1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great

authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.

19:10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Do

not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold

to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the

spirit of prophecy."

22:6 The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The

Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his

servants the things that must soon take place."

8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard

and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been

showing them to me.

9 But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and

with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book.

Worship God!"

16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the

churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning

Star."

GEN 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast

array.

3:24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden

of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the

way to the tree of life.

16:7 The angel of the LORD found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was

the spring that is beside the road to Shur.

19:1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting

in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and

bowed down with his face to the ground.

13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD

against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."

24:7 "The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me out of my father's

household and my native land and who spoke to me and promised me on oath,

saying, 'To your offspring I will give this land'--he will send his angel

before you so that you can get a wife for my son from there.

32:2 When Jacob saw them, he said, "This is the camp of God!" So he named

that place Mahanaim.

EXO 3:2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from

within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn

up.

14:19 Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel's

army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in

front and stood behind them,

23:20 "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way

and to bring you to the place I have prepared.

23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the

Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I

will wipe them out.

32:34 Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will

go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish

them for their sin."

NUM 20:16 but when we cried out to the LORD, he heard our cry and sent an

angel and brought us out of Egypt. "Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on

the edge of your territory.

22:22 But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the LORD stood

in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two

servants were with him.

23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a

drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat

her to get her back on the road.

24 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between two

vineyards, with walls on both sides.

25 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed close to the

wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. So he beat her again.

26 Then the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place

where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left.

27 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam,

and he was angry and beat her with his staff.

35 The angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but speak only

what I tell you." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

DEU 33:2 He said: "The LORD came from Sinai and dawned over them from

Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran. He came with myriads of holy ones

from the south, from his mountain slopes.

JOS 5:14 "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD

I have now come." Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and

asked him, "What message does my Lord have for his servant?"

JDG 2:1 The angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, "I

brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I swore to give

to your forefathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you,

13:1 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD, so the LORD

delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.

6 Then the woman went to her husband and told him, "A man of God came to

me. He looked like an angel of God, very awesome. I didn't ask him where he

came from, and he didn't tell me his name.

2SA 14:17 "And now your servant says, 'May the word of my lord the king

bring me rest, for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning

good and evil. May the LORD your God be with you.'"

20 Your servant Joab did this to change the present situation. My lord has

wisdom like that of an angel of God--he knows everything that happens in

the land."

19:27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the

king is like an angel of God; so do whatever pleases you.

24:16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD

was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was

afflicting the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD

was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

17 When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to

the LORD, "I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep.

What have they done? Let your hand fall upon me and my family."

1KI 19:5 Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep. All at once an

angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat."

7 The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said,

"Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you."

2KI 1:15 The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not

be afraid of him." So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.

6:17 And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the

LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of

horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

19:35 That night the angel of the LORD went out and put to death a hundred

and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up

the next morning--there were all the dead bodies!

1CH 12:22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army,

like the army of God.

21:15 And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was

doing so, the LORD saw it and was grieved because of the calamity and said

to the angel who was destroying the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand."

The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah

the Jebusite.

16 David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven

and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then

David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.

2CH 18:18 Micaiah continued, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw

the LORD sitting on his throne with all the host of heaven standing on his

right and on his left.

32:21 And the LORD sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and

the leaders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew

to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god,

some of his sons cut him down with the sword.

NEH 9:6 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest

heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the

seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the

multitudes of heaven worship you.

JOB 4:15 A spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body stood on

end.

18 If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with

error,

25:3 Can his forces be numbered? Upon whom does his light not rise?

38:7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for

joy?

PSA 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host

by the breath of his mouth.

34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he

delivers them.

35:5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD

driving them away;

6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing

them.

68:17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of

thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.

78:49 He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation and

hostility--a band of destroying angels.

91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all

your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your

foot against a stone.

103:20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his

bidding, who obey his word.

21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his

will.

104:4 He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.

148:2 Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.

ECC 5:6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the

temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why should God be angry at what

you say and destroy the work of your hands?

ISA 6:2 Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they

covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they

were flying.

6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which

he had taken with tongs from the altar.

7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips;

your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."

63:9 In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his

presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them

up and carried them all the days of old.

EZE 1:13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of

fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was

bright, and lightning flashed out of it.

14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.

24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the

roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of

an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

DAN 4:13 "In the visions I saw while lying in my bed, I looked, and there

before me was a messenger, a holy one, coming down from heaven.

14 He called in a loud voice: 'Cut down the tree and trim off its

branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee

from under it and the birds from its branches.

15 But let the stump and its roots, bound with iron and bronze, remain in

the ground, in the grass of the field. "'Let him be drenched with the dew

of heaven, and let him live with the animals among the plants of the earth.

16 Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given the

mind of an animal, till seven times pass by for him.

17 "'The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the

verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over

the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them

the lowliest of men.'

6:22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have

not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever

done any wrong before you, O king."

7:10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands

upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before

him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him,

"How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled--the vision

concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and

the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host that will be trampled

underfoot?"

19 He said: "I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of

wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end.

9:21 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.

22 He instructed me and said to me, "Daniel, I have now come to give you

insight and understanding.

23 As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to

tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the message and

understand the vision:

24 "Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to

finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to

bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to

anoint the most holy.

25 "Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore

and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will

be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets

and a trench, but in times of trouble.

26 After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off and will

have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city

and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until

the end, and desolations have been decreed.

27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of

the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of

the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the

end that is decreed is poured out on him."

10:6 His body was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like

flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and

his voice like the sound of a multitude.

10 A hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

11 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.

12 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.

13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then

Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained

there with the king of Persia.

14 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."

15 While he was saying this to me, I bowed with my face toward the ground

and was speechless.

16 Then one who looked like a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth

and began to speak. I said to the one standing before me, "I am overcome

with anguish because of the vision, my lord, and I am helpless.

17 How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone

and I can hardly breathe."

18 Again the one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength.

19 "Do not be afraid, O man highly esteemed," he said. "Peace! Be strong

now; be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Speak,

my lord, since you have given me strength."

20 So he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Soon I will return to

fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece

will come;

ZEC 1:9 I asked, "What are these, my lord?" The angel who was talking with

me answered, "I will show you what they are."

10 Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, "They are the

ones the LORD has sent to go throughout the earth."

11 And they reported to the angel of the LORD, who was standing among the

myrtle trees, "We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world

at rest and in peace."

12 Then the angel of the LORD said, "LORD Almighty, how long will you

withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have

been angry with these seventy years?"

13 So the LORD spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who talked

with me.

14 Then the angel who was speaking to me said, "Proclaim this word: This

is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,

6:5 The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going

out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.

MAT 1:20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared

to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take

Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy

Spirit.

21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,

because he will save his people from their sins."

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded

him and took Mary home as his wife.

2:13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a

dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to

Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the

child to kill him."

19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in

Egypt

4:6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is

written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift

you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a

stone.'"

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

6:10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

13:39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of

the age, and the harvesters are angels.

41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his

kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.

49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and

separate the wicked from the righteous

16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his

angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.

18:10 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I

tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in

heaven.

22:30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in

marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

24:31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will

gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the

other.

36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven,

nor the Son, but only the Father.

25:31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with

him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.

26:53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at

my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

28:2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down

from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.

3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead

men.

5 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are

looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place

where he lay.

MAR 1:13 and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He

was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

8:38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful

generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his

Father's glory with the holy angels."

12:25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in

marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

13:27 And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four

winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

LUK 1:11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right

side of the altar of incense.

12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.

13 But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer

has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to

give him the name John.

14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of

his birth,

15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine

or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even

from birth.

16 Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their God.

17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah,

to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to

the wisdom of the righteous--to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

18 Zechariah asked the angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man

and my wife is well along in years."

19 The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and

I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this

happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at

their proper time."

28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored!

The Lord is with you."

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of

greeting this might be.

30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found

favor with God.

31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him

the name Jesus.

32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord

God will give him the throne of his father David,

33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will

never end."

34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"

35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power

of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be

called the Son of God.

36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age,

and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month.

37 For nothing is impossible with God."

38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have

said." Then the angel left her.

2:7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths

and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch

over their flocks at night.

9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone

around them, and they were terrified.

10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of

great joy that will be for all the people.

11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ

the Lord.

12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and

lying in a manger."

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel,

praising God and saying,

14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his

favor rests."

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said

to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has

happened, which the Lord has told us about."

4:10 For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you to

guard you carefully;

11:2 He said to them, "When you pray, say: "'Father, hallowed be your

name, your kingdom come.

12:8 "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will

also acknowledge him before the angels of God.

9 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of

God.

15:7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in

heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons

who do not need to repent.

10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the

angels of God over one sinner who repents."

16:22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to

Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.

20:35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and

in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in

marriage,

36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are

God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.

22:43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

JOH 1:51 He then added, "I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open,

and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

5:4

ACT 1:11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into

the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will

come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

5:19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the

jail and brought them out.

7:30 "After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the

flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.

35 "This is the same Moses whom they had rejected with the words, 'Who

made you ruler and judge?' He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by

God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

53 you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels

but have not obeyed it."

8:26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road--the

desert road--that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza."

10:3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He

distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, "Cornelius!"

12:7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell.

He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and

the chains fell off Peter's wrists.

9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the

angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.

23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the

Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

27:23 Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood

beside me

1CO 6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the

things of this life!

GAL 3:19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of

transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The

law was put into effect through angels by a mediator.

EPH 3:10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom

of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly

realms,

PHI 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the

name that is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth

and under the earth,

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God

the Father.

COL 1:16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on

earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or

authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

2:18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of

angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail

about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle

notions.

1TH 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud

command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God,

and the dead in Christ will rise first.

2TH 1:7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This

will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire

with his powerful angels.

1TI 3:16 Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He

appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was

preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in

glory.

5:21 I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect

angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing

out of favoritism.

HEB 1:4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has

inherited is superior to theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I

have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be

my Son"?

6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let

all God's angels worship him."

7 In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his

servants flames of fire."

13 To which of the angels did God ever say, "Sit at my right hand until I

make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?

14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will

inherit salvation?

2:2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation

and disobedience received its just punishment,

7 You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory

and honor

16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants.

12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city

of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in

joyful assembly,

13:2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people

have entertained angels without knowing it.

1PE 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but

you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who

have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even

angels long to look into these things.

3:22 who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand--with angels,

authorities and powers in submission to him.

2PE 2:11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do

not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the

Lord.

JUD 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but

abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness, bound with

everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.

9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil

about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation

against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the

Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones

15 to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly

acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly

sinners have spoken against him."

REV 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his

servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel

to his servant John,

5:2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy

to break the seals and open the scroll?"

3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the

scroll or even look inside it.

4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the

scroll or look inside.

5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the

tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the

scroll and its seven seals."

6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the

center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the

elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of

God sent out into all the earth.

7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the

throne.

8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four

elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding

golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open

its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men

for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and

they will reign on the earth."

11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands

upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the

throne and the living creatures and the elders.

12 In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to

receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and

praise!"

13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth

and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the

throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever

and ever!"

14 The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and

worshiped.

7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the

earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from

blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the

living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been

given power to harm the land and the sea:

3 "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the

foreheads of the servants of our God."

11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders

and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the

throne and worshiped God,

12 saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and

power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"

13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they,

and where did they come from?"

14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come

out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them

white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and

night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent

over them.

16 Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun

will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.

17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he

will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every

tear from their eyes."

8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were

given seven trumpets.

3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He

was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the

golden altar before the throne.

4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went

up before God from the angel's hand.

5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and

hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes

of lightning and an earthquake.

6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.

7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed

with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was

burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was

burned up.

8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge

mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned

into blood,

9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the

ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a

torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of

water--

11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter,

and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was

struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of

them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of

the night.

13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a

loud voice: "Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the

trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!"

9:15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and

day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

10:1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars.

12:7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angelsfought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angelsfought back.

14:10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.

15:1 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues--last, because with them God's wrath is completed.

18:1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.

22:6 The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."

8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me.

16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
