How
was Peter delivered later?
“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.” Then the
angel said to him, “Put on your
clothes and sandals,” And Peter
did so. “Wrap your clock around
you and follow me,” the angel
told him. 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. They passed the first and
second guards and came to the iron
gates leading to the city. It opened
for them by itself, and they went
through it. When they had walked the
length of one street, suddenly the
angel left him.” Acts 12:7-10.
Note – “What
we call physical law is no
obstruction to angelic ministrations.
Bolts and bars and prison gates
disappear at their volition, and
dungeons like palaces shine in their
presence. No place can be dismal, no
cavern so deep and dark, no
inquisition cell so hidden and fetid,
no fortress so strongly guarded, that
they cannot find quick and easy
access, if a child of God is
there.” E.A. Stockman, Footprints
of Angels in Fields of Revelation,
pp. 74, 75.
How
was Elijah strengthened for a forty
days’ journey?
“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.” So
he got up and ate and drank.
Strengthened by that food, he
traveled forty days and forty nights
until he reached Horeb, the mountain
of God. There he went into a cave and
spent the night.” 1 Kings 19:
7,8.
After
His forty days’ temptation, how
was Christ strengthened?
“Then the devil
left him, and angels came and
attended him.” Matthew 4:11.
How
was Christ strengthened in
Gethsemane?
“An angel from
heaven appeared to him and
strengthened him.” Luke
22:43. [Gabriel]
Are
the angels interested in the plan of
salvation?
“Even angels
long to look into these things.”
1 Peter 1:12. “In the same
way, I tell you, there is
rejoicing in the presence of the
angels of God over one sinner who
repents.”
Luke 15:10.
For what must men
give account in the judgment?
“But I tell
you that men will have to give
account on the day of judgment for
every careless word they have spoken.”
Matthew 12:36. (See
also Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14.)
Out of what will
men be judged before God’s
throne?
“And I saw the
dead, great and small, standing
before the throne, and the books were
opened, which is the book of life.
The dead were judged according to
what they had done as recorded in the
books.” Revelation 20:12.
In the judgment how
many angels minister before God?
“Thousands
upon thousands attended him; ten
thousand times ten thousands stood
before him.” Daniel 7:10.
[These angels stand before God
Almighty]
What does Christ
promise over comers?
“He that over
comes will, like them, be dressed in
white. I will never blot out his name
from the book of life, but will
acknowledge his name before my Father
and his angels.”
Revelation 3:5.
What protection has
God promised His people in the Great
Tribulation?
“Then no harm
will befall you, no disaster will
come near your tent. For he will
command his angels concerning you to
guard you in all your ways; they will
lift you up in their hands, so that
you will not strike your foot against
a stone.” Psalm 91:10-12.
Who will come with
Christ, and what will they do?
“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.” “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.” Matthew
16:27; 24:31.
Where will all the
saints then go?
“After that, we
who are still alive and are left will
be caught up together with them in
the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air. And so we will be with the
Lord forever.”
1 Thessalonians 4:17.
