8/28/2015 0 Comments Lesson 5 - Two NamesIn all of Scripture, we only have been given (Proper) names for two angels. They are: Michael, and Gabriel
Let's take a look at each one. What their specific name represents, and their stories in the Bible. Michael - He is mentioned five times in Scripture, Daniel 10:13 & 21, Daniel 12:1, Jude verse 9, and Revelation 12:7. The root word used (for both) means "who is like God".
Daniel 10:21 "But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince." Daniel 12:1 "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." Jude verse 9 "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." Revelation 12:7 "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels," Gabriel - He is mentioned four times in Scripture. Daniel 8:16, Daniel 9:21, Luke 1:19, and Luke 1:26. The root word used means "Warrior of God" or "man of God".
Daniel 9:21 "Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation." Luke 1:19 "And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings." Luke 1:26 "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth," This week, it would be good to read the above verses within their context - read perhaps a chapter before and after to get a real good picture of the circumstances where these angels were involved. Then, answer the following questions:
Well, that wraps up another study time. Next time we'll take a look at a few other encounters with angels from Scripture and how lives were affected by those encounters.
