Proclamation by the Angels
5-4 B.C.
Near Bethlehem
Good angels, apparently, are completely good and need no savior.
Bad angels are completely bad and God makes no provision for their salvation.
The good angels seem to have a keen interest in our salvation and rejoice when one of us is saved.
In heaven, it would seem we mingle with angels and some how relate.
In some manner of grading, we are lower than angels.
They are quite a mystery.
