Can Angels Take or Appear in Various Forms?

Theories 1. Simulation. The angels take form and when doing so reproduce the exact form and characteristics of the species or kind or personality in which they appear. (Pagan view explicit in mythology of gods assuming animal and human form.) 2. Restriction. The angels assume different forms but are untouched by the natures and characteristics of these forms. (Still doesn't answer why such forms are to be taken then, unless meant for some kind of deceptive or clandestine purposes.) 3. Negation. Angels do not assume other forms (but appear as they are in different dimensions of glory). (a) Essence defines identity; therefore, essence (essential nature) cannot change without affecting identity. That means that the angel who simulates no longer remains an angel (at least for the said amount of time) thus producing confusion in the order of creation. God's creation follows a set order. Why don't angels appear as females? (b) Since angels are God's servants and God doesn&#

Unchanging God

One another day passes by... Can't invalidate my eyes: Gods of wind, wealth, and vanity Rule the feelings of humanity Ever demanding all Never returning one. Man's sweat now mingles in their goblets of desires They evoke so much love; they revoke so much love. What enslavement to the destroyer? What fear? What distaste? But the One by Whom all things exist, Suffered for the sake of others; He embraced the shame of the cross To destroy the enmity by sin; He suffered for our faithlessness And calls us now to Him. What god is there who gives His life for His sheep, The value of truth is measured by the teacher's commitment to it. (c) Copyright, Domenic Marbaniang, 2009

Studies in Ezekiel: Call and Commission (Chs 2-3)

Chapter 1 ends with "the likeness of the appearance of a man" in fire, rainbow, and great brightness, and Ezekiel recounts "This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face..." (1:28). This was the manifestation of the God of Israel in the vision of Jesus Christ, 500 years before His birth in Bethlehem. The ministry of a certainty belongs to Christ who is the Son over His own house (Heb.3:5). It was He whom Moses obeyed when he forsook Pharaoh's palace (Heb.11:26), and He who was the Pillar of Cloud and Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the LORD to lead the Israelites in the wilderness (1Cor.10:1-4). The Messiah was before Abraham (Jn.8:58). Christ now calls Ezekiel and commissions him to the prophetical ministry that would reveal the transition from the old into the new, the fading of the Old Covenant into the New Covenant. It doesn't mean a cessation of Israel as a people of God, but a revelation of God

Studies in Ezekiel: Wings and Wheels (Chap. 1)

God speaks in Ezekiel through four different ways: 1. Visions - They reveal God's glory in relation to His people (the 4 living creatures, the Temple). They usually answer the question, " What is the truth of God?" 2. Symbols - Ezekiel is to signify certain happenings through his very life (e.g. the mimic siege, the razor, the death of his wife). They usually answer the question, " How is it going to happen?" 3. Parables and Allegories - They illustrate the story of God's relation with His people and demonstrate the reason why He chastises them (the boiling pot, the vine). They usually answer the question, " Why  is it going to happen?" 4. Plain speech - They are explanations, commands, and promises that God gives to Ezekiel and to His people. Promises - Ezekiel contains a number of divine promises including the promise of a new covenant and the future regathering of Israel. Chapter 1 demonstrates how God's servants, the cherubim, are connected

Studies in Ezekiel: Introduction

The book of Ezekiel was written by a priest-prophet named Ezekiel (meaning "God will strengthen") in around 593-571 B.C., when those messages were given. The book has 48 chapters and contains a number of visions and prophecies regarding the then and future Israel. About the Author Ezekiel was born in 623 B.C. in a priestly family of Jerusalem. His father's name was Buzi (1:2). When he was 25 years old, he was taken away into the exile in Babylon by the army of king Nebuchadnezzar who invaded Jerusalem in 597 B.C. Five years later, in 593 B.C., Ezekiel got his first vision of God when he was 30 years old, the age when a priest was supposed to enter temple ministry (1:1-3). Beginning from then, he prophesied for the next 30 years, his last message dates as on April 28, 573 B.C. (Zondervan Archaelogical Bible). Ezekiel typifies the style of prophetical life in which the prophesy is symbolized by a lifestyle of the prophet which acts as object lessons to the audience. Date Th
