ANGELS IN DISGUISE

 

lET'S Start by taking a look at the Original incident recorded in Scripture in the Old Testament and work our way through the New Testament and see what is expected of us in these modern times.

Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. — G E N E S I S 1 8 : 2

If you have ever had the suspicion that a person you encoun­tered was an angel in disguise, you are not alone. We need not look any further than Genesis 18 to see that, indeed, angels can disguise themselves as people and pay us a visit when we need it the most. CAUTION:We must be Prayerful in this area because Satan was,The anointed Cherub  in Heaven (Ezekiel 28:14) he did NOT LOOSE THAT Disguise QUALITY WHEN HE FELL ( 11 Cor 11:14) that says; "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. "

In the beginning of ?Genesis 18, we find Abraham sitting at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day. What makes this note­worthy is that Abraham had just undergone circumcision three days earlier at the age of 99 (Gen. 17:24! The Jewish sages comment that the third day after any operation or injury is always the most difficult. Abraham was 99 was circumcised(Genesis

17:2417:44 and was then102

In fact, when the Bible tells us that Abraham sat in the heat of the day, it is also teaching us that God had made the day unusually hot because He didn’t want any visitors bothering Abraham while he recovered. However, Abraham, who was known for his hospital­ity and kindness, found the lack of visitors even more painful than circumcision.

So Abraham sat at the entrance of his tent looking and hoping for visitors. When God saw how much Abraham desired to be hospi­table, He sent him three angels. The sages teach that angels are able to “dress up” or disguise themselves as people. In this case, Abraham had no idea that his visitors were actually angels. The Bible refers Promise to Today's Christians “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways

. . . — P S A L M 9 1 :9-11 1 that says; “Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 

  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 

  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” 

 

As stated earlier we must be Cautious here for Satan can Disguise himself as an Angel of light to Deceive you.

Apostle Paul states this in Hebrews 13:2 "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares
