Yesterday, we saw that there is an unseen world out there, and not just “out there,” but all around us. We learned that our battle is against rulers, authorities, powers of darkness, and spiritual forces of evil. I don’t know about you, but this can be a bit frightening. But, we’re told in 2 Timothy 1:7, God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound judgement. And we aren’t alone in this fight. He is always with us, and He has given His angels orders to protect us (Psalm 91:11).
So, who are these angels? That is what we are going to look at over the next couple weeks, and yes, we’ll also look into our dark enemies. One key lesson I hope you’ll come away with, after these brief discussions, is that God has no equal. This isn’t a war of equal yet opposites. Rather it is the desperate flailing of the condemned to bring destruction to as much of God’s creation as possible.
The first, and most important thing to know about the unseen forces, is their origin. They are created beings! Only God is eternal in His existence. He has no beginning or end. As powerful as angels and demons may be, they are mere art projects to God.
You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them, and the heavenly host worships You. (Nehemiah 9:6)
This is why, throughout the Unseen Dominion series, the angels most frequently refer to God as the Creator. The hosts of heaven owe their existence and sustenance to their perfect Creator, as do we.
“The white dove-like feathers of her wings stood on end at the thought. The audacity of attempting to usurp the Creator. Mael knew better. He was present the day Lucifer attempted to claim equality with Him. They all were. A droplet of paint on a canvas claiming equality with the artist.” – Restoration’s Journey
