Then he dreamed,
and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels
of God were ascending and descending on it.
Patriarch
Tychon was seized with a kind of ecstasy and overheard the singing of angels, the beauty of which he was afterwards
unable to describe; neither could he at the moment grasp the words of that song, but was aware of it only as the harmony of
many voices.~~A Treasury of Russian Spirituality
Angels
do God's work. If you want to look at it from a human perspective, God assigns helpers to carry out His plans. So He has
designed angels to be on earth (and every other planet in the universe), to carry out His infinite number of directives. -Barbara Mark and Trudy Griswold, "The Angelspeake Storybook"
Acts 10:3
About the ninth hour
of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him,
"Cornelius!"
Ezekiel 1:1
Now it came to pass
in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Che-bar,
that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
In the year
that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.
Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with
two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
Zechariah 1:8 & 11
I saw you by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and it stood among
the myrtle trees in the hollow; and behind him were horses: red, sorrel, and white. So they answered the Angel of the Lord,
who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have walked to and fro throughout the earth, and behold all the earth
is resting quietly."
