Ordained By Angels | Prophecy In The News: "How do angels function, and what role do they play in the fulfillment of prophecy? There is one aspect of their conduct that is well documented in Scripture, but at the same time, is quite mysterious. It deals with a specific role that they have played in our past, and will complete in our future.

Concerning the nature and history of angels, much has been written in Bible commentary. First-person stories about encounters with angels are legion. In truth, we know that just beyond our sight, angels constantly circulate among us as guardians and watchmen.

But one of their leading roles has been the part they play in the judgment of mankind. As we shall see, they participated in the giving of the Law of Moses. And when the future judgment comes, they will play a major part in administering the judgments that will ultimately result from the Law. Our Lord once commented upon this fact, using a little child to illustrate His point. He said that angels, in effect, keep a record of offenses against God’s elect. They will be present in the future day of divine retribution."
