3456 — To or for the Angels

By Editor

In an article, "The Law in the Christian Age," is the statement: "Men cease to watch and pray; they do not solicit the aid of holy angels, who would uplift for them a standard against the enemy." Does this agree with Rev. 22:8, 9; John 16:13-15; 14:6; Heb. 1:1-6; 1 John 2:27; 5:20?

We do not think the expression is against these scriptures. The solicitation is not to the angels for help, but to God for angelic help. "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them," Ps. 34:7. See also Heb. 1:13; Dan. 8:13; Matt. 26:53. In the light of these scriptures, surely we may ask God that He may send to our aid His angels.
