Un ángel es una criatura con capacidades y poderes sobrehumanos (2 Pedro 2:11). Los ángeles habitan en un nivel de existencia más elevado que el universo físico, una región espiritual que la Biblia llama cielo (1 Reyes 8:27; Juan 6:38).

The angel greatest in both power and authority is Michael, the archangel. (Jude 9; Revelation 12:7) Seraphs are high-ranking angels who are stationed near Jehovah’s throne. (Isaiah 6: 2, 6) Cherubs form another high-ranking order of angels having special duties. For example, cherubs guarded the entrance to the garden of Eden after Adam and ...

In both cases, the word is singular, suggesting that only one angel bears that title. One of those verses states that the resurrected Lord Jesus “will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice.” (1 Thessalonians 4: 16) Jesus has “an archangel’s voice” because he is the archangel, Michael.

Senaquerib, rey de Asiria, va conquistando ciudades de Judá. Para proteger al rey Ezequías y a Jerusalén, el ángel de Dios mata a 185.000 soldados en una noche.

Some angels did not remain faithful to Jehovah. The first angel who rebelled is “the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9) Satan wanted to rule over others, so he influenced the first humans and later even other angels to join his rebellion. Those rebellious angels are called demons.

That night while Jacob was alone, he saw an angel! The angel started wrestling with him. They wrestled until the morning. Even though Jacob got hurt, he would not give up. The angel said: ‘Let me go.’ But Jacob said: ‘No, not until you bless me.’ The angel finally blessed Jacob. Now Jacob knew that Jehovah wouldn’t let Esau hurt him.

The angel’s inspired interpretation of the prophecy regarding the beasts as representing world powers (Da 7:3-7, 17, 23; 8:20, 21) is of great assistance in understanding the symbolism of the beasts in Revelation. —Re 13:1-18; see BEASTS, SYMBOLIC.
