By personal choice, hordes of angels joined Satan in his rebellion. They are superhuman in power too. O you angels of his, mighty in power, carrying out his word. Angelic knowledge and power were displayed when two angels brought flaming destruction upon Sodom and Gomorrah. A single angel killed 185,000 of the Assyrian army.
Angels too can travel at tremendous speeds, far exceeding the limits of the physical world.
But for all their higher mental and spiritual powers, angels have their limitations. They did not know the day and hour when this system of things would be swept away, Jesus said. They take a keen interest in the outworking of Jehovah s purposes, yet there are some things they do not understand. They rejoice at the repentance of a sinner, and they watch the theatrical spectacle furnished by Christians here on the world stage of public activity. They also observe the proper example of Christian women who wear a sign of authority upon their heads.
