DANIEL IN THE DEN OF LIONS
"My God hath sent His angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me." Dan. 6:22.
ANGELS: THEIR MINISTRY
The one verse of Scripture which, perhaps, most comprehensively sums up the ministry of the angels of God, is this:
"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" Heb. 1:14.
This scripture shows us how truly all heaven is engaged in working for the salvation of this poor world, which has wandered from the fold of God. It will surely be a time of rejoicing among all the angelic host when Christ, the Good Shepherd, brings back this lost world, cleansed from sin, once more to the fold of God's perfect creation.
The angels rejoiced when this world was created. The Lord said to Job:
"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?... when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" Job 38:4-7.
