Last week’s “Angel Trivia”
-
When were angels created?
The Bible tells us they were created prior to the creation of the earth, for it says in Job 38:4-7, “The angels shouted for joy when the earth was created.”
-
How many angels are named in the Bible?
Though there are thousands of angels mentioned in the Bible,
only three are given a name.
Gabriel
(Daniel 8:16; Luke 1:19 & 26-38)
Michael (Daniel 12:1; Jude 9; Revelation 12.7)
Abaddon (Revelation 9:11)
The
Bible nowhere explicitly describes Satan as an angel before he
rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. Assuming Ezekiel
28:12-18 is symbolic of Satan’s fall; Satan is described as a
“Guardian Cherub.” Cherubs are angelic creatures, possibly the
highest order of angels. So, in that sense, yes, Satan was an angel.
