No, Don't Do That!

Today I thought it might be good to offer a brief note of caution. We have seen that angels are powerful deliverers who often brought great news. If we aren’t careful it would be easy to become obsessed with them. Even to the point of worship. We human beings are created by God with a deep need to worship. Unfortunately, we so often are prone to worship the beauty and greatness God created rather than the Creator Himself. Here is the response of an angel in the book of Revelation when John fell down before him in worship.

Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow slave with you and your brothers who have the testimony about Jesus. Worship God, because the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Revelation 19:10)

Angels know their place. They are fellow creations, called to worship God (Psalm 148:2). As we see in this passage from Revelation, they will not accept our worship. So we need to be cautious. Basically, if you offer your worship to an angel, they will rebuke you. Or, if they don’t, they are not really an angel, but a fallen angel. So much the worse.

Here is an excerpt of this from In The Image of Man:

“Welcome, Chris, my friend.”

Chris fell to the ground in worship.

“No. No, my friend, you must not do that. I am just a messenger.”

Chris felt a presence approach.

“My name is Eran. I have been with you for six and a half years—since you began your walk with Jesus the Christ.”

    I've been a husband for 28 years and am the father of five children, three boys and two girls, ages 24 and under.

    My vocational years have been an eclectic mix of software developer, electrical and manufacturing engineer, manager, and even five years as a worship pastor. So, I guess it only stands to reason that my aspirations as an author are equally unique. As an author it is my desire to challenge one's mind with what ifs, one's heart with if only, and one's sense of justice with if not me.
