 | On Scripture! Mar 17, 2010 |
| Basically I enjoyed Peter Kreeft's Angels (and Demons) more because it specifically talked about Angels and Demons themselves and how they are in nature. In Jeremiah's Angels its different but yet hits it right on the dot because you know your obtaining all this TRUE information from the Bible itself and not just from bright fake non-sense so that's what I like about it is that the information is AUTHENTIC and is from God's Word itself. The book uses a lot of scripture quotes and quotes from other authors who did hard core study on angels (such as Thomas Aquinas). So you shouldn't have to worry about receiving fluffy non-sense that was just brainstormed. Jeremiah takes the reader into a world where the angels thrive in scripture. The book doesn't talk too much about the Angels nature or all their effects within the human world but it he does go on to describe the works of the angels within the Bible and how similar sitings today could be truly authentic due to Bible passages that relate to the citing and experience. So if you want to learn more about Angels in the Bible world and how they relate to our world today PLEASE take a copy home. You will enjoy it. There's a short section on Demons which was interesting because it discusses Satan's nature and how and why he does the stuff he does. So you get pretty much whole bit of everything from MOSTLY Bible passages, a few human and real life situations, angels in their life with God, and a short bit on Demonology. I really enjoyed this book because it really delved into the angels from the BIBLE'S viewpoint. Get a copy now if your interested! | | |  | A Thoughtful Look at What the Bible Says about Angels Mar 8, 2010 |
It's really cool to believe in angels. It's definitely cooler to believe in angels than in Jesus.
They're everywhere today. Cutesy little figurines in the church merch section of the Christian bookstore. TV shows about guardian angels. In movies, angels are the moody romantic lead, the friendly guide, the likable and smarmy comedic lead... Heck, a couple weeks back, there was even a movie about humanity having to be saved from God's wrath (brought by a legion of angels, who possess people as though they were demons) by the archangel, Michael, who has rebelled against God and kills the other angels with machine guns!
Then there's books. I don't know about you, but generally when I see a book about angels, I get a little nervous. Usually the only ones I see are by folks like Sylvia Browne and other new age spiritualists.
I say all this to give you a picture of the apprehension I faced when I saw the invite to read Angels by Dr. David Jeremiah. Because I'd never read any of his work before, I decided to give it a shot, uncertain of whether or not it would be beneficial or about as sketchy as a book with fold-out end times charts.
I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Jeremiah's book offers a refreshing, helpful look at the topic of angels as he takes readers through the Bible to discover who they are, what they do and why it matters.
Jeremiah does not present angels as being huggable, friendly creatures, departed loved ones who now have wings or babies in diapers. Instead, he presents us with the Bible's far more impressive and terrifying view.
"Real angels have been and are and shall forever be awesome warriors for God, agents of his wrath and power. We don't wonder in the least why people in the Bible who see angels are so often struck with terror at the sight" (p. 37).
They guard the gates of the garden with a flaming sword (Gen. 3:24). The angel of the Lord, with hand outstretched, sends a plague upon the people of Israel after David's sinful census (2 Sam. 24:15-17, 1 Chron. 21:14-17). In a single night, one angel kills one hundred eighty-five thousand Assyrians (2 Kings 19:35, 2 Chron. 32:21, Isa. 37:36). King Herod accepts worship as a god, but is killed by an angel, devoured by worms from within after the angels touch (Acts 12:21-23). These are just a few examples that Jeremiah gives. I don't expect to see these angels on a Valentines card anytime soon.
Ultimately, angels are servants, just as we are. They are created beings, like us; however, they are not spiritually progressed, evolved or transformed humans, they are a distinct class of beings (see p. 51).
And because they are created beings, they are never to be worshipped.
This point is one that can't be overstated. As Jeremiah points out, even the apostle John had to be reminded twice by an angel:
"After one ecstatic scene of heavenly worship at the wedding supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19), a guiding angel turned to John and asked him to write these words: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' The angel added, 'These are the true words of God.'
"At once, John 'fell at his feet to worship him.'
"The angel's rebuke was quick: 'Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!' (19:10)." [p. 54, emphasis in original]
Again, the angels are ruled by Jesus. They are not worthy of worship.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing chapters for me was the one dealing with "The Angel of the Lord." Jeremiah writes, "No doubt you've already noticed that often in an Old Testament passage the `angel' who's speaking is identified directly with God himself. The angel seems not just to be from the Lord, but actually to be the Lord" (p. 157). When I was reading through the Old Testament last year, this was one of the things that came up again and again. Who is the Angel of the Lord? Is he an angel that is more preeminent than all the others, or is he, perhaps, the pre-incarnate Christ?
John Calvin, M.J. Erickson, Lewis Sperry Chafer, C.F. Dickason and J.M. Wilson, each of whom are cited by the author, all lean toward the belief that the angel of the Lord may have been Christ. However, Jeremiah quoting Wilson reminds us,
"Yet it must be remembered that at best these are only conjectures that touch on a great mystery. . . . The appearances of the angel of the Lord . . . culminating in the coming of the Savior, and are thus a foreshadowing of, and a preparation for, the full revelation of God in Jesus Christ. Further than this is not safe to go" (p. 163).
Jeremiah, I think, wisely heeds this warning throughout as he keeps his conclusions fairly open-ended. In presenting the biblical evidence, the author presents two items that I found fascinating and curious.
The fascinating: "Appearances of the angel of the Lord ceased after the birth of Jesus Christ," he writes on p. 167, "a further bit of evidence that he may indeed have been that angel."
The curious: In citing Exodus 23:20-21 ("Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him."), Jeremiah suggests that the angel could forgive sins.
In studying the passage, I found that this certainly be the case as the term "my name is in him" implies that the angel is of the same nature and character. This gave me a lot to think about, although I believe more study on my part is required before I can comfortably agree or disagree.
"The angels truly love the Lord, and will always love to serve him... and so will I."
Angels by Dr. David Jeremiah is a helpful, thoughtful look at what Scripture says about the angels who, like us, were made to worship and serve the Lord our God. "The angels truly love the Lord, and will always love to serve him... and so will I," concludes Jeremiah. Amen. | | | | Book Review ~ Angels by David Jeremiah Feb 19, 2010 |
There have been a lot of books written about angels over the years, but I have to say I really like ANGELS ~ Who they are and How they help...What the Bible Reveals by Dr. David Jeremiah.
In this book, Dr. Jeremiah gives the reader excellent definitions of what angels (both good and evil) are, how they are described in the Bible, what their job is in our lives, what we can learn from angels in the Bible, and how we should respond to their invisible presence in our lives. The majority of the book deals with angels (God's holy servants) although Dr. Jeremiah does include a chapter on fallen angels and spiritual warfare.
All in all I think this is a very well written, informative book. There is a tendency to want to give angels a great deal of attention (sometimes akin to worship). ANGELS by Dr. David Jeremiah allows the reader to learn more about these supernatural servants of God while keeping our understanding of them in the proper perspective. | | | | Angels Review Feb 17, 2010 |
When you think of angels, what do you picture in your mind? Is it the cute, chubby cheeked, flying babies? How about the winged adults sitting on a cloud eating cream cheese? Or maybe a statue of a winged woman with long, flowy hair? I like to think of the angels mentioned in the Bible - the ones that stood in front of Eden with the flaming sword, or maybe the one that blocked Balaam's path. Well, Dr. David Jeremiah wrote a book about angels, appropriately titled: Angels.
Angels is a great resource on learning more about these fascinating creatures God created. It has made me think and want to know more. Dr. Jeremiah writes about what angels really are, what they have done and what they are still doing. He backs up the details with Scripture. In short, they are servants of God and will do as He instructs.
One passage really caught my attention and has made me wonder. In reference to angels possibly carrying us from earth to heaven when we die, Dr. Jeremiah points out, "One reason may be related to the fact that Satan is described as "the ruler of the kingdom of the air" (Ephesians 2:2). Perhaps we must cross this "kingdom of the air" in going from earth to heaven. Our temporary home here and our permanent home there may be separated by an immense stretch of enemy territory." I have never thought of that. I have always believed that angels do come and guide us to our new home, but I never thought of why they would do that. I like Dr. Jeremiah's reasoning because if I'm going to have to go through enemy territory, I definitely want some "good angels" on my side.
I definitely recommend this book. You can get your copy by clicking here and by visiting WaterBrook Multnomah's site.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest review.
| | | | Dispense with the "fluffy" ideas about angels! Dr. David Jeremiah tell it like it is. Feb 11, 2010 |
One thing I like about the book Angels is that it discounts all the fanciful, "fluffy" ideas most people have about angels. I know that when I hear the word "angel," the first thing that comes to my mind is a cute little child dressed in a white gown with beautiful sparkling wings and halo. In his book, Dr. Jeremiah tells of real life encounters with angels both from the Bible and more modern times. Some of these encounters are dramatic and some less so, but all demonstrate the power and availability of angels in people's lives and in various types of situations.
The book also gives Dr. Jeremiah's insight on why it is important to know and understand the truth about angels. He believes that we need to know how and why this information about angels is important to us in our everyday lives and how it affects our lives.
I personally thought this book was interesting while factual--a combination that I usually don't find! It was pleasant to read, but also very informative. Also, I have included at the bottom of this post some more information about Dr. David Jeremiah (copied and pasted from the biographical information I received from Waterbrook Multnomah) in case you want to read a bit more information about him. If you aren't familiar with him or his books, I think you would enjoy checking out his materials.
