Nanosermon Script:
Are you going to be judging angels? Sounds scary, doesn’t it? The Apostle Paul told the church in Corinth, in chapter six of his first letter to them:
1Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
In my NanoSermons ‘Minsters of God’ and ‘A Prophetic church’ I show that the church and those in it, that’s you and me, have a prophetic duty to preach the word of God and call earthly rulers to account. But now the blessed Apostle goes further. He looks ahead to the millennial Kingdom of Christ and says ‘the saints shall judge the world.’
’Angels of light’ are demons
Then he steps it up: ‘we shall judge angels.’ Wow. I’m taking it that these are the bad guys. These are the angels who joined in Lucifer’s rebellion and were cast down from heaven to earth, to wreak havoc until the day of judgment, which is what Paul is referring to. Another word for them might be demons.
These angels are really popular in New Age thought. They can appear beautiful, clothed in light. People think they have ‘ageless wisdom’. One New Age website owner describes her ‘guardian angel’ as ‘a luminous giving soul’. She says this angel ‘generously offered to share her Angel Oracle passages. Beautifully crafted she weaves her words together to form crystalline stories that hold you spellbound’.
I’m sure she does. And I’m confident there are thousands more like her, or him, or whatever it is. But it’s still a demon. Even Satan can appear as an angel of light. Yes, just because you think you are hearing from an angel, doesn’t mean he’s one of the good guys.
Revelation and Daniel
Now then, is Paul out on a limb saying the saints shall judge the world and these fallen angels? No, here is what the Apostle John saw in Revelation chapter 20 (It’s not ‘Revelations’ in the plural, by the way):
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
You know, you always need the Old Testament to understand the New Testament, and nowhere is that more true than in the Revelation to John. That idea, of the saints sitting in judgment, is straight from Daniel chapter seven:
Daniel 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
We’ll bind kings with chains
In its turn, Daniel’s vision is true to Psalm 149:
Psalm 149:5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Now then. Before you get too excited after all that scripture, swinging your two-edged sword, whose authority will you be under when judging the world, the heathen, the people, the kings and nobles and of course the angels?
The Torah IS the ‘Law of Love’
You will be under the authority of the most High God. So whose laws will you be applying? That’s right. Those of the most High. And where do you find them? In Holy Scripture, in the law-word of God. And don’t tell me we shall be judging by the ‘law of love’ as if that is different from what you see in Exodus or Deuteronomy. God’s Torah, his law, including his moral and judicial law, IS the ‘law of love.’
So you had better start getting familiar with the word of God, hadn’t you? If you have not yet read the Bible through, get the Christian Voice Lamplight Bible Reading plan and start today.
Well, you won’t be much good judging angels if you don’t, will you?
