And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lighted with his glory.—Revelation 18:1.
WE CALL good angels angels of light, their habitation being in heaven, in the region of light; they are clothed with light and glory ; they stand before the throne of the Most High, and they inspire men with good actions, actions of light and righteousness. Angels of darkness, on the contrary, are the devil's ministers, whose abode is in hell, the region of darkness. Paul says that "Satan sometimes transforms himself into an angel of light ;" in like manner as our Savior says that '' wolves sometimes put on sheep 's clothing to seduce the simple. ''They are ever discovered by their works; sooner or later they betray themselves by deeds of darkness, wherein they engage with their followers. Evil angels are unclean, promoters of darkness—of spiritual wickedness; they oppose good angels and good men; they are under punishment now; they dread severer sufferings hereafter. —Edmund Robinson, D. D.
A little distance from the prow Those crimson shadows were. I turned my eyes upon the deck— Christ! what saw I there! Each corse lay flat, lifeless and flat, And by the holy rood ! A man all light, a seraph man, On every corse there stood. This seraph-band, each waved his hand; It was a heavenly sight! They stood as signals to the land, Each one a lovely light; This seraph-band, each waved his hand, No voice did they impart- No voice ; but ah ! the silence sank Like music on my heart. —Coleridge. |
