How Powerful Is An Angel, And What Abilities Do They Possess? by SReporters: 9:46pm On Apr 23, 2023
Angels possess greater strength than stars. Psalm 103:20, 104:4, Job 38:7, Rev 1:20, Eze 1:4, 5 They have flight speeds that far exceed the speed of light. They can observe how light travels from its source to another location in the universe. In a matter of seconds or minutes, they can travel from Earth through space and arrive in heaven. So, compared to angels, humans move very slowly.

Angels have spherical senses, which allow them to simultaneously perceive their surroundings from all angles and in all directions. In all directions from their bodies, they are able to perceive existence in all its senses (Rev. 4:6, cool. Tens of thousands of angels can combine to form millions (Eze 1:5-8; Mr 5:8, 9). Angels can alter their size as well. They are able to change their shape. Even angels have the ability to take on human form. Instantaneous and imperceptible transformations occur (Jg 6:21; Lu 1:8, 11).

Angels have the ability to perceive things that humans and other physical beings cannot, such as energy, hear imperceptible sounds at both high and low pitches, and sense things that are invisible to them. Angels are able to alter their color. They have the ability to transform, or visibly glow while retaining neither fully spiritual nor fully physical form. Angels have the power to destroy and abandon as well as to save and rescue. Angels are able to communicate with God and may even experience a mental vision of him while on earth. Angels are able to control matter, light, and energy.

STARS, the most potent objects in the physical universe, ARE Compared To ANGELS.

Where were you when I created the earth, when the morning stars shone, and when all the sons of God shouted in jubilation? Job 38:4, 7

Making his ministers a devouring fire and his angels spirits. Ps 104:4

Angels are represented by the seven stars. Re 1:20

His powerful angels "carry out his word by listening to the voice of his word" Ps 103:20

Angels are placed even higher than the physical universe in the power hierarchy starting with God.

"from the heavens" (the spiritual realm)...(above and beyond) in the heights...all of you angels...(2) The sun and moon, which are the closest to the earth, where humans live, and have a stronger direct influence over the earth.(3) All of you light-filled stars (whose influence is weaker as a result of their greater distance from Earth)...(4) Heavens of the Heavens (the furthest reaches of space), including the atmosphere of Earth.(5) The waters above the heavens (the earth's sky). Ps 148:1–4

Examples of what angels have accomplished include

As with the serpent in the garden and the she-ass in front of the false prophet Balaam, give the impression to humans that an animal could speak.

"Until unrighteousness was discovered in you, you proved to be...the anointed cherub...flawless...in Eden, the garden of God." Eze 28:14, 15

"the original serpent, the one who goes by the names of Devil and Satan, who deceives" 12:9 in Revelation

According to Genesis 3:1, "the serpent (used or seized by a malevolent angelic spirit)...began to say to the woman."

"The ass now lay down under Ba'laam when she (alone) saw Jehovah's angel...Finally, Jehovah (through the angel) caused the ass' mouth to open and move, and she spoke to Balaam while the angel projected his voice through the ass' mouth. Versus 22:27, 28

As a symbol of God, make it rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. They have the power to exterminate all human life.

Yes, Enoch, the seventh person to descend from Adam, made a prophecy about them when he said: "Look! To carry out judgment against everyone, Jehovah arrived with his holy myriads (a sanctified army of tens of thousands of angels). Jude 14, 15

The floodgates (means of heavy rainfall) of the heavens (:the global skies) were opened, and all the (mountain) springs of (or that lead to) the great watery deep (Sea) were broken open.The earth experienced a downpour that lasted continuously for forty days and forty nights. 7:11, 12 in Genesis

TWO ANGELS AT SODOM AND GOMORAH'S CITIES

Angels have been known to obliterate cities like Sodom and Gomorrah by hurling meteors from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter that contain some or most sulfur (brimstone) and ignite when they enter the earth's atmosphere.

"The two angels reached Sodom...Because we're destroying this place,We were sent by Jehovah (God) to destroy the city. Gen. 19:1, 13

Then Jehovah caused sulfur and fire to fall from the heavens (plural or dual heavens; from space through the sky) on Sodom and Gomorrah (by means of angels). 19:24 in Genesis

By means of a planned and targeted meteor shower or bombardment, "reducing the cities Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes" 2 Peter 2:6

The cities surrounding Sodom and Gomorrah are "suffering the judicial punishment of everlasting fire (eternal destruction)." Jude 7

THE ANGELS OF EGYPT

They had an impact on the weather and the atmosphere, resulting in three days of darkness in Egypt due to a dark ground cloud and hail (meteors).

He performed his miracles in the field of Zo'an and left his signs in Egypt itself.He proceeded to send them "deputations of angels bringing calamity." Ps 78:43, 49

He went to Egypt and killed their sycamore trees and vines with hailstones (meteorites). And he continued to surrender their pack animals to meteorites and hail. Psalms 78:43, 47, and 48

"said to Moses: "Stretch out your hand toward the heavens (the skies), that darkness (caused by a dark cloud) may occur over the land of Egypt and the darkness (caused by a dark cloud) may be felt (physical or tangible [not merely the absence of light], thus a dark moist thick cloud)...and for three days there was a gloomy (dangerous) darkness (the cloud) throughout the whole of Egypt.

For three days—the maximum amount of time an average person can go without water without becoming dehydrated—the Egyptians were unable to see one another due to the darkness that also covered their homes and other structures, but the sons of Israel were all shown to have light thanks to lamps because the darkness did not enter their homes but remained outside, rather. Exodus 10:21–23

"(10) and more miracles in Egypt, in the land of Ham, Africa. He created darkness by sending a land-lying cloud...He turned their raindrops into meteors, and on their land, he spread a blazing fire that was burning from entering the atmosphere. Psalms 105:27, 28, and 32

They have the power to influence the behavior of animals; in Egypt, they brought about a plague of locusts, frogs, gnats, and gadflies.

How he performed miracles and put up signs in Egypt itself, sending them locusts, cockroaches, frogs, and gadflies via the angels.He went, unleashing upon them his raging wrath, fury, denunciation, and distress—all brought on by an angelic delegation bringing disaster. Psalms 78:43, 45, 46, and 49

"into Egypt...miracles in Ham's homeland...Frogs swarmed (overflowed or overran) their land...that gnats should infest all of their territories and that flies should invade from elsewhere...that the locusts invade (come in)" 105:23, 27, 30, 31, 34

They have unleashed plagues of disease upon the wicked, and they have even been known to turn the Nile River's water into blood (possibly by rearrangement of the water's atoms and molecules). They are also capable of manipulating chemicals and biology.

Jehovah declared, "This water that is in the Nile River will definitely turn (be altered, changed, or transformed) into blood. Here I am striking with the rod that is in my hand upon it.Say to Aaron, "Take your rod and stretch your hand out over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, Nile canals, reedy pools, and impounded waters, that they may become blood. There will come to be blood in all the land of Egypt, in wooden vessels, and in stone vessels." This is what Jehovah instructed Moses to say to Aaron. Exodus 7:17–19

"his miracles and signs in Egypt...He started turning the water in the Nile canals -- which are actually made of blood -- into blood. Psalms 78: 43 and 44

He "changed (altered; possibly molecularly or atomically) their waters into blood" (through the angels). Psalms 105:29

They can easily stop any number of people from engaging in behavior that God forbids.

Numbers 22:32 and 33

They have the ability to manipulate the human mind to allow for visions, which are visual projections.

They have the power to alter someone's perspective or make them forget something without their knowledge. This usually happens when someone decides to do something that God forbids; this is not against their will but the exercise of Almighty God's greater will.

They are able to communicate in every language used by humans and can change into any type of human.

Their mere presence, luminosity, voice, strength, and energy have the power to sooth any physical thing, but they also have the power to destroy.

They are capable of killing an army of people in a matter of seconds with just one of them.

Exodus 12:12–29, 13, 29

Numbers 20:16

185,000 Soldiers and One Angel

"And it happened on that (one or single) night that the angel of Jehovah went out and struck down 185,000 in the Assyrian camp," the Bible states.2 Kings 19:35

"Jehovah then sent (one) angel to destroy every brave, mighty man, chief, and leader in the Assyrian king's camp." 2 Chronicles 32:2

"And the (one, designated) angel of Jehovah went out and struck down 1285,000 Assyrians in their camp. Why, all of them were dead carcasses when the people (of Jerusalem, the capital city of God's human servants) awoke early in the morning. Isaiah 37:36

Keep in mind that light travels at a little over 186,000 mps and that one angel killed 185,000 soldiers in a single night. Thus, the angel most likely killed them all while they were sleeping, though some of them who may have been awake could have collapsed and died in a twinkling of an eye in less than a second! There was nothing else, but he was capable of doing even more. Unfortunately for the wicked during Armageddon, not everyone's death is depicted as being instantaneous or painless. Imagine the power an army of angels would possess! Rev 19:11, 13, 14, 19, 20

Job 12:10
Job 34:14, 15
Psalms 104:29
Revelation 19:11, 14

Angels are so strong that they can defeat any cosmic physical phenomenon, such as an exploding star or the gravitational pull of a black hole. This is so because they are made of forces and energies that are not natural, like a star, but rather, supernatural.

"an angel appeared...a miraculous sight"Luk 1:11, 22

"a supernatural sighting of angels"Luk 24:23

They were developed to watch over and safeguard all life, including the cosmos. They can, however, also obliterate anything that stands in God's way. Actually, God need not do anything; his sons will. Since God has been inactive since the creation of Eve, angels have acted as his representatives in almost all of his actions.

Psalms 103:20 and 104:4
