Hebrews 1:6-7 And again, when he brought in the firstbegotten into the world, he said, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he said, Who made his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
‘And let all the angels of God worship him.’ This is the 3rd Old Testament prophecy in Hebrews (1:6; Deut. 32:43) and has been fulfilled. This prophecy is quoted from the Septuagint of Deuteronomy 32:43, “Rejoice, you heaven, together with him; and let all the angels of God worship him.”
‘Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.’ Quoted from Psalms 104:4.
‘Angel spirits’ – The word “spirit” is found 551 times in Scripture. From these references, the 297 times “angel” is found, and from over 20,000 others about God who is a spirit being, we learn all there is to know about the spirit world – all the various kinds of spirit beings that inhabit the unseen material world and under the earth (Php. 2:10; Rev. 5:3, 13).
There are ten kinds of spirit beings besides God: [1] Seraphim (Isa. 6:1-7). [2] Cherubim (Gen. 3:24; Ezek. 1:5-28; 8:1-4; 10:1-22). [3] Zoa, or Living Creatures (Rev. 4:6 – 5:14; 6:1-8; 7:11; 14:3, 9-11; 15:7; 19:4). [4] Spirit animals are shaped like the fleshly ones we have on earth (2Kin. 2:11-12; 6:13-17; Zech. 1:8-11; 6:1-8; Rom. 1:20; 2Cor. 12:1-4; Rev. 19:11-21). [5] Archangels, or chief angels rule kingdoms (Col. 1:15-18; 1Thess. 4:16; Jude 1:9). (1) Michael, one of the chief princes, the prince of Israel (Dan. 10:13, 21; 11:1; 12:1; 1Thess. 4:16; Jude 1:9; Rev. 12:7-9). (2) Gabriel, who stands before God (Dan. 8:16-19; 9:20-23; 10:8 – 11:1; Luke 1:19, 26). (3) Lucifer, the original ruler of the Earth and present pseudo-ruler of man’s dominion on Earth (Isa. 14:12-14; Ezek. 28:11-17; Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 10:18; Eph. 2:2; Rev. 12:7-9). (4) Unnamed princes of Persia and Grecia (Dan. 10:13 – 11:1; Rev. 11:7; 17:8).
