Angels and Demons

Do you believe in angels? Do you believe they occupy space and time? When was the last time you sang and worshiped with the angels? Beginning this study on Angels and Demons, Dr. Sproul teaches us how God designed the anatomy of angels for their place in the throne room of heaven, as he looks at “The Heavenly Choir.”

In the book of Revelation, we read of four kinds of angels, each appearing much like earthly creatures, but with a few exceptions. They all have six wings and are covered with eyes. What is the purpose for their extraordinary vision? What do they see that we don’t? Will we ever behold that which the angels look at day and night? In this message entitled “The Heavenly Host,” Dr. Sproul teaches us about the form and function of the angels gathered around the throne of God and the blessed hope of the Christian.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is full of accounts of angels interrelating with people. But angels do more on earth than deliver messages from on high. They not only deliver God’s word, they enforce it. In this message entitled “Earthly Enforcers,” Dr. Sproul discusses the role of angels as governmental enforcers here on earth.

Scripture is full of personal encounters between people and angels. In many cases the angels appeared in the form of men. Then there were other times when they remained invisible—to some that is—but their ministry was easily recognized by Elisha and then later the Lord Himself during His earthly ministry. In this message, Dr. Sproul teaches us about the ministerial role angels had during the days of Elisha and later in the life and ministry of Jesus.

What if an angel of the Lord came to you and delivered a message from God? How do you think you would respond? In this message, Dr. Sproul discusses some of the various encounters people have had with angels and their appropriate responses once they received the message.

Scripture tells us that human beings were made a little lower than the angels. How then should Christians esteem the angels? Shall we bow before them in reverence and awe? The answer becomes abundantly clear when we read the book of Hebrews. In this message, Dr. Sproul explains how One greater than the angels has come and that He alone deserves our worship.

Is the devil a real person or a mythological personification of evil? Unfortunately, many people have no biblical idea of who and what the devil really is. Is he everywhere? Does he know everything? How much power does he have? These are just a few of the questions Dr. Sproul considers in this message, as he looks to Scripture for the truth about the person, nature, and powers of the devil, and how Christians ought to live in a world with “The Adversary.”

What image comes to mind when you hear the name of Satan? The Bible uses many different metaphors to describe his deceptive and destructive ways. He is cunning and a master of disguise. He is known as a prince and a lion, two terms also used for our Lord, but there is a great difference between Satan and God. In this message, Dr. Sproul exposes the one disguised as an angel of light as he teaches us how the devil works in our midst and how we can recognize his handy-work.
