Angels: The Seen and Unseen

The Angels have not always existed, GOD created them, and He did so before He even made the universes. Angels are beings who have greater power and ability than humankind. They exist and appear in physical form or spiritual here on earth or in the heavens with a level of existence higher than the physical universe. Thus, some levels of Angels are also referred to as spirits and known as the “Unseen.”When we observe and meet up with these messengers doing supernatural things, there is no complete understanding how they do these miracles as heavenly beings. However, those who believe it GOD the Fathers know these private messengers, work for the ultimate benefit to help evolve humans century after century and live and walk among us. Angels may work hard to guard the people they are assigned to protect from danger. Stories about Angels rescuing people facing destructive overbearing situations are popular in our culture. Some people from religious traditions like Catholicism believe that everyone has a guardian Angel divinely assigned to them for their entire life. Angels in worldly religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam state that an important part of the Angels’ work is to worship the GOD who created them, such as by praising him in heaven. Some religions, such as Islam, state that all Angels serve GOD faithfully.
