Talk of angels reminds me of the tv series “Saving Grace”. Holly Hunter was excellent.

Pick any such intervention and you will see it is asserted by a prophet, the Lord is the center of the message, and it is verifiable.

We don’t need visions of angels, nor any message that invokes veneration of them. We have the complete work of Scripture to interpret the world.

It’d be nice if ole Michael can do something about late term abortion. Ooops. That is the work of the Spirit as he works in the hearts and minds of men. Eph 4:17-24; 2 Cor 3:18.

John warned us repeatedly about chasing idols.

Angels intervene all the time in the Bible.

And the first thing they say is often 'let not your heart be troubled' or 'be not afraid' or something quite similar.

Some are invisible, like the one on the road to Moab.

Some look just like us, and are entertained by us unawares.

But some are clearly not from around here and are terrible avenging apparitions.

Some are explicitly described has having wings.

Only a few are named. OTOH only a few humans are named, dose that mean the rest of the people in the Bible do not have names? Or does it mean that a list of everybody killed in a battle isn't as important as which side won, and page after page after page of names would only serve to distract rather than illuminate? Would knowing the names of thousands of angels help us or hurt us (you just know some people will worship some of these to the exclusion of The Creator!)?
