Speaker: Rev. Dr. Carole Hulslander

Genesis 1:26-28

Then YAHWEH said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness! Let them rule over the fish of the sea, over the flying creatures of the sky, over the livestock, over the whole earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the land.” YAHWEH created humankind in HIS image, in the image of YAHWEH HE created HIM, male and female HE created them.  YAHWEH blessed them and YAHWEH said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the land, and conquer it. Rule over the fish of the sea, the flying creatures of the sky, and over every animal that crawls on the land.”

Exodus 19:4

‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to MYSELF.”

Exodus 25:17-21

You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. It shall be two and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide. And you shall make two cherubim of hammered gold. You shall make the cherubim at the two ends of the mercy seat, one cherub at one end and the other cherub at the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends.” The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, to overshadow the mercy seat with their wings. The cherubim shall face each other and their faces shall be toward the mercy seat. And you shall place the mercy seat on the top of the ark, and inside the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.” 

2 Kings 6:15-18;

Now when the attendant of the man of YAHWEH had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was surrounding the city. So his attendant said to him, “Alas, my master! What are we going to do?” “Fear not,” he replied, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “ADONAI, please open his eyes that he may see.” Then ADONAI opened the eyes of the young man and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to ADONAI and said, “Please strike this people with blinding light.” So HE struck them with blinding light according to the word of Elisha.

2 Kings 19:35

Then it came about that night that the angel of Adonai went out and struck down 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp.

Psalm 34:7

“The angel of ha ADONAI encamps around those who fear HIM, and HE delivers them.”

Psalms 36:7

“How priceless is your unfailing love, O YAHWEH! People take refuge in the shadow of YOUR wings.”

Psalms 57:1

“Have mercy on me, my YAHWEH, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of YOUR wings until the disaster has passed.”

Isaiah 6: 1- 6

In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw Adonai sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of HIS robe filled the Temple. Seraphim were standing above HIM. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. One called out to another, and said: “KADOSH, KADOSH, KADOSH is Adonai-Tzva’ot! The whole earth is full of HIS glory.” Then the posts of the door trembled at the voice of those who called, and the House was filled with smoke. Then I said: “Oy (woe) to me! For I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I am dwelling among a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, Adonai-Tzva’ot!” Then one of the Seraphim flew to me, with a glowing coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. He touched my mouth with it and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips. Your iniquity is taken away, and your sins atoned for.”

Daniel 7:13-14

“I was watching in the night visions, And behold, ONE like the SON of MAN, coming with the clouds of heaven! HE came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought HIM near before HIM. Then to HIM was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve HIM. HIS dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And HIS kingdom the ONE which shall not be destroyed.

Luke 13:34

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.”

Hebrews 1:7

And regarding the angels HE says, “HE makes HIS angels winds, and HIS servants a flame of fire.”

Hebrews 1:14

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service to those about to inherit salvation?

Hebrews 2

For this reason it is necessary for us to pay especially close attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved to be firm, and every violation and disobedience received a just payback, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? It was first spoken through the Lord and confirmed to us by those who heard. At the same time, God was testifying by signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, according to His will. For it is not to angels that God has subjected the olam ha-ba—about which we speak. But somewhere someone has testified, saying, “What is man, that You are mindful of him, or the son of man, that You care for him? For a little while, You made him lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor. You put all things in subjection underneath his feet.” For when He put all things in subjection to him, He left nothing outside his control. But for now we do not yet see all things subjected to him. But we see One who was made for a little while lower than the angels—namely, Yeshua. He is now crowned with glory and honor, because of the death He suffered so that, by the grace of God, He might taste death for everyone. For it was fitting for God—for whom and through whom all things exist—in leading many sons to glory, to perfect through sufferings the initiator of their salvation. For both He who sanctifies and those being sanctified are all from one—so He is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, saying, “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers and sisters. In the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to You.” And again, “I will put My trust in Him.” And again, “Here am I and the children God has given Me.” Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared the same humanity—so that through death He might break the power of the one who had the power of death (that is, the devil) and free those who by fear of death were in bondage all their lives. For surely He is not concerned about angels, but about the seed of Abraham. Therefore He had to be made like His brothers in all things, so He might become a merciful and faithful Kohen Gadol in matters relating to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. Because He Himself suffered when put to the test, He is able to help those being tested.

 Hebrews 13:2

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers—for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

Revelation 4:6-8

Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “KADOSH, KADOSH, KADOSH,
ADONAI YAHWEH  Shaddai (most powerful),
Who was and is and is to come!”

Revelation 20:4; 

Then I saw thrones, and people sat upon them—those to whom authority to judge was given. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for YESHUA and because of the word of YAHWEH. They had not worshiped the beast or his image, nor had they received his mark on their forehead or on their hand. And they came to life and reigned with the MASHIACH for a thousand years.
