Angels were created by God through Jesus Christ as His servants, messengers, and representatives in His universe-ruling government. Initially, God intended angels to play a significant role in the final creation and improvement of the vast physical universe, with the potential to help serve in it under His will. The holy angels, remaining submissive to God, are powerful, responsible, and loyal beings commissioned to minister to the faithful elect of God. Their strength is evident as their voices sound like thunder, and they hold power over the elements, earth, sea, and atmosphere, always heeding the voice of His word. The holy angels serve God and minister to the needs of His church under His direction, acting as invisible, administering spirits and guardians to those who will inherit salvation. Their functions toward sinners include destruction, cursing, bringing pestilence, death, and persecution, as seen in the case of Sodom. Conversely, their ministry to the elect encompasses guiding, providing for, protecting, delivering, comforting, and gathering, all according to God's will. They are sent forth to do service for the saints, helping them avoid premature death and accidents, and aiding them toward eternal life, though only God grants salvation. God has commissioned His angels to guide events for the benefit of His elect, as exemplified in Genesis 24:7, where an angel was sent to ensure success in finding a wife for Isaac. Angels also provide for the needs of God's people, as seen in I Kings 19:1-8, where an angel supplied food and water to Elijah in the wilderness, acting as an instrument of God's provision. Protection is another key role, with angels keeping close to God's obedient children to shield them from accidents, calamities, plagues, and other evils, as described in Psalm 91:11-12, where they bear up the elect in their hands to prevent harm. Additionally, angels are tasked with delivering God's people from danger, as illustrated in Acts 12 with Peter's rescue from prison by an angel who awakened him and guided him to safety. They also comfort, as noted in Acts 27:22-24, where an angel reassured Paul during a storm at sea, and they will gather the elect at Christ's return, as mentioned in Matthew 24:29-31. Under God's protection and authority, the ministry of angels is to serve Him, guide, provide for, protect, deliver, comfort, and gather His people at the appointed time, always under the direction of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Holy angels are greater in power and ability than humans currently, but they have no authority apart from God, and Jesus Christ holds complete control over all spirit beings. Created as ministers, agents, and helpers in God's creation, angels are loyal and dedicated servants of the God Family, assisting the saints to attain salvation and levels in the God Family far beyond their own, with a dedication and loyalty that appears absolute.
