Fallen Angels : Outline And Outline

In the passage from chapter fifteen in Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers, is about how the men are going on a company patrol up a hill. The landing zone was covered with Punji sticks which would make your cuts infected if they were stuck on you, Monaco found a mine sign which meant the patrol had kept a lookout for mines on the ground. The company was traveling uphill, while Richie was walking he went through a bush and his gun got stuck with one of the branches from the bush as he thought it was a Vietcong grabbing him but it turned out to be just the branch. The author says, the “mountainside opened up” Gearhart started shouting that the firing was from up the hill. As the Soldiers were ambushed they were still trying to take over the hill.

Each supernatural figure is intended to represent a world beyond the natural. Although they each were first seen as "spirits of god," they also all obtained negative images of evil.

The Misfit is a symbol of the anti-Christ and is portrayed as such through the inversion of divine characteristics. As pointed by Marion Montgomery, “the devil she presents in her fiction is the devil Christ came to oppose, made articulate in a world largely given to him.” In the Bible, Jesus is a surrounded by little children, whom he loves. The Misfit is bother by little children, even stating, "Watch them children, Bobby Lee," he said. "You know they make me nervous" (O’Connor 642). Michael O. Bellamy emphasizes that this “set of inversion is consistent with the Misfit’s entire personality” (200). When the Misfit is called “a different breed of dog,” this shows the inversion of the word God itself, and “demonology is based on inverting the sacred” (O’Connor 643, Bellamy 200). Moreover, “the Misfit is a self-imposed title,” which is representative of “the figure of that ultimate misfit of Christian orthodoxy, Satan” (Montgomery 186). The emphasis on the Misfit’s alienation from society is show by the symbolism of the true misfit in Christianity. The rejection of Satan by God can be reversed to say that Satan rejects God, and thus the Misfit reject religion.

The author helps us to understand exactly who our enemy is and who our enemy is not. Our enemy is not flesh and blood but, “principalities, and spiritual wickedness in high places”. People are often used by demonic spirits to act in adverse ways. We must never target people as our foes. The enemy would love to have us overlook him and turn on one another. Our brothers and sisters are not who we should fight. It is the spirit behind them using them to distract us into doing something we will later regret.

In the story “A Little Omniscience Goes a Long Way” neither Satan nor God have free will. God has control over Satan; however, God hints to the idea that there is possibly some higher being above him that may or may not be controlling him. Initially, Satan doesn’t necessarily believe that him and the angels have any type of control, but God points out that nobody is really forcing them to make the choices they make or chaining them down to make those choices, therefore, they do have some type of control albeit not the type they’d prefer. When Satan states that he and a few of the angels want to have control over their lives, God claims that they do have control and, apparently, just as much as God himself has over his own life. Additionally,

Robert H. West’s Milton and the Angels consists of ten chapters which are divided into two main sections. The first half of the book expounds upon the history of the study of angels in the Western hemisphere and then in England specifically. The second half of the book examines the titular subject of John Milton’s propositions on angels. The final chapter of the work, reiterates and summarizes all nine previous chapters to reveal their larger purpose and significance within the book itself and within Milton’s entire career. Through the structure, West outlines that he “tried to give an orderly and proportioned, though elementary,

First, to prove that Satan must be something more than a mere “favored” angel, some kind of divine being, let us consider Adam’s longing for a companion (as I think the concept here holds basis): he reasons with God as to why it is appropriate for him to have an equality alongside, and of course, God, “not displeased,” grants Adam’s request, that is to become, Eve. Now imagine God in the shoes of Adam, that is

As God’s favorite, Lucifer was bestowed his gifts with high expectations. Along with that, we have seen that God was a very demanding being. Anyone under such scrutiny, is bound to fail, which is where the audience can sympathize with Lucifer’s actions. God’s demands of him and his angels are so high that any mistakes to follow seem consequential. The audience can feel empathy towards Lucifer because these types of sins are easy to be guilty of and the audience knows that they have been guilty of them as well, in their respective

God’s reign sovereign in his heavenly kingdom: The writer of Psalms says that, “The highest heavens belong to God but the earth he has given to men”(Psalms 104).He created the heavenly host on day six as Wayne Grudem would argue(Grudem ,1994).That heavenly host is taken to mean angels who are “ministering spirits”(Psalms 115:16,Hebrews 1;12-14).Just like in any kingdom has a defensive arm: so also the angels of the Lord, are mandated to operate and execute his will. It is said in Psalms that, “Bless the Lord you his angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word”,(Psalms 103:20).The King James version speaks of , ‘who execute his command’ hence having a connotation of a governmental language. When Satan rebelled

Stupid angels. Stupid heaven and all of its light. I clutched my bloody fists in anger. I do not understand why humans believe that angels are gorgeous, benevolent creatures, while demons are hideous, evil creatures that would kill at any given moment.

or an angel? Meanwhile as most came to ridicule, some actually would come to seek the help of

Angels are eluded to 103 times in the Old Testament and 93 times in the New Testament. These angels, described as spiritual beings created by God, serve Him. Still, angels are created higher than man. Angels are separated into two major categories, good angels and bad/fallen angels. The good angels continue to obey God and follow His will. The fallen angels disobey God. In fact, fallen angels oppose everything God stands for. For this reason, the fallen angels no longer reside in their holy positions. Furthermore, the fallen angels work against the plan and will of God. Three other familiar terms referring to angels are seraphim, cherubim, and ministering spirits. Both the Hebrew and Greek word for angel means “messenger”, describing one who completes the purpose and will of the one whom they serve. Thus, the good angels follow God, and the fallen angels serve Satan. One angel, unlike any other, is the “angel of the Lord.” “The angel of the Lord”, identified as God, speaks as God and states to utilize the entitlements of God. According to the Christian belief, unlike one worldly perspective, angels are not the spirits of deceased human beings. Instead, they are created beings made for a purpose (Keathley).

The above passage from Hebrews is part of the greater teaching Jesus took on human flesh in order to be a suitable sacrifice for man. The writer makes it clear earlier in chapter 2, Jesus did not come to aid angels but came to aid the seed of Abraham. We know angels fell. Per our Revelation study, we see Satan took a third of the angels during his rebellion in heaven. Yet, Jesus did not take on the form of an angel to save them. He made himself lower than an angel to save us.

Angels are creatures created by Allah (swt) and they are in paradise (jannah). Angels are creatures with wings that worship Allah (swt) only, AllaH (swt) said in the Qur’an: "Praise be to Allah, the Originator of the Heavens and the Earth, the creator of angels having wings - two, three and four." (Qur’an 35:1). It is not mentioned in the qur’an when the Angels were created nobody knows and Angels were created centuries ago even before human Allah (swt) mentions this in the Qur’an: Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: “I will create a vicegerent on earth.” They said: “Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood, whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?” He said: “I know what ye know not.” 2:30.

"Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to go ahead with your marriage to Mary. For the child within her has been conceived by the Holy Spirit. When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord commanded. He brought Mary home to be his wife." Matthew 1:20-24
