Understanding Angels

What are angels, and what role do they play in God’s plan? In this episode, we pause our study of Revelation 10 to explore the unseen realm through a biblical lens. We examine the nature and hierarchy of angels, the roles of Michael, Gabriel, cherubim, and seraphim, angelic involvement in nations, spiritual warfare, and God’s judgments, and the reality of Satan’s fallen kingdom. We also tackle the modern topic of UFOs and aliens, comparing popular claims and reported encounters with Scripture to ask whether these phenomena are extraterrestrial—or something far more spiritual in nature. Throughout the discussion, we see that Christ reigns supreme over every angelic power, and that believers can live with confidence in His victory over the forces of darkness.
