Angels. Many questions revolve around this subject. Who or what are they? How many are there? Do they actually exist? The Bible can and will answer many of these questions. Humankind always had its own opinion on angels, but unsurprisingly, most of these assumptions are wrong. The Bible will contradict many of these theories on angels or it will prove them right. It just depends how educated these assumptions are.
1. Q: Who are angels? (Hebrews 1:13, 14)

Q: Who is Lucifer? (Isaiah 14:12)
A:
Note: Lucifer was a former angel and now, he’s Satan. Cast out of Heaven to walk the Earth, he blames this on God. When it was of his own doing. He is also thought to be a former cherubim.
8. Q: Where are Lucifer and his former angels now? (Job 1:6, 7)
A:
Note: He presented himself as a son of God. Even when he’d been banished from Heaven, he presents himself as someone with great honor and respect. A person with virtue. So he comes from the Earth, where he stalks his prey. Like lion like mouse.
9. Q: What got Lucifer kicked out of heaven with his angels? (Isaiah 14:12-15)
A:
Note: He was kicked out from the pride. He believed he should be higher than God, not a lowly servant. He wanted to be known and feared, obeyed and respected. He tasted this when a few angels trusted him. He said God was unfair, when he was more than fair. Untrustworthy, when you could tell him anything.
10. Q: Are we higher or lower than the angels? (Psalm 8:4, 5)
A:
Note: To make up for this most of us, are crowned with glory and honor. This is a big thing for us little people. Putting all thing under are feet, crowned with glory and honor. We basically control the Earth, with God’s and Satan's

By doing this he will punish or reward us for our works. Good or bad. This s where you get to see who won your war, you or Satan.
12. Q: In the end what happens to Lucifer and his angels? (Matthew 25:41)
A:
Note: Like the rest of the wicked (in the second coming), they will burn. Lucifer shall burn the longest for his treachery against God. He will watch others burn then his followers, while he burns in the fire watching all his followers fall. Then he will fall, the last, he will burn alone.
13. Who is Michael the Archangel? (Jude 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Revelation 20:5, Revelation 22:8, 9, Daniel 12:1, Joshua 5:13-15, Exodus 3:5, Acts 7:33)
A:
Note: Michael the Archangel is also the captain of the Lord's army. He let Joshua sit there and worship him, but in other verses it says that angels don't accept worship. In other verses Jesus has accepted worship. This captain also said to take off your sandals for your standing on holy ground. God has said this quotation two times. Michael is also the only one called an archangel in the Bible, he is also the commander of an army who accepts worship unlike other angels. This somewhat proves he could be

Humbly believing himself to be a sinner, he decided that surely he wouldn’t merit the rewards of Gan Eden, but would be sent to Gehinnom (Purgatory).
Satan's primary operational problem in Paradise Lost is his lack of obedience. The fundamental misunderstanding which leads to Satan's disobedience is his separation of free will from God's hierarchical power. In the angel Raphael's account, Satan tells his dominions, "Orders and Degrees/Jarr not with liberty" (5.792-93). Tempting as this differentiation seems, Satan is mistaken. Free will and hierarchical power are not mutually exclusive, as Satan suggests, but overlapping concepts. Even though Satan has been created with sufficient freedom to choose to disobey, he tacitly acknowledges God's sovereignty when he exercises his choice. Satan is constrained existentially, from the outset, by
King Lucifer the brave and Queen Jennie the graceful. What set King Lucifer from the rest of his Subjects was the fact that he was a devil, but his subjects loved him for his kindness and how he protect each and everyone of them. The king and Queen had Five children, two amazing sons named Tyson and Jeral Jestion or JJ for short, three beautiful daughters named Stacy, Hailey and Sierra.
There was a time when a great evil was let loose from hell. This evils name was Lucifer. Lucifer’s intentions were to bring the United States to chaos by spreading a virus that will cause millions of deaths across the US. To do this however, he needed a great power on his side. Lucifer then decided he had to raise death to ensure his victory over the country. He thought no one would have a chance to go up against him in this battle but he would soon find out he was mistaken.
Fifth, are the Elohim which are known for their commitment to the victory of good and evil. The archangel Haniel leads this group of angels. The next group of angels are the Bene Elohim who are known for giving God all the glory. Michael is the archangel who leads this group and he known as a warrior and being the great prince. In the Torah in Daniel 10:21 which states (“Indeed, I shall tell you what is inscribed in a true script, but no one strengthens himself concerning these matters except Michael, your
In Dante Inferno by Dante Alighieri we have this author talking about himself by making the character as himself and his journey through hell .

In the frozen lake Lucifer is frozen till the midpoint of his chest .
In Milton’s Paradise Lost, surely we have come to ponder upon the makeup of Satan’s attractable character—his rebellious, seductive, almost “bad-ass” attitude—a case of admirable evil. But let us not forget his ambition, his strive to weld the image of God. We have seen many moments throughout where we get Satan’s ground for imitating the image of God: “…In imitation of that Mount whereon / Messiah was declar’d…” (V 764-65). But why does Satan do this? What is it in Satan that causes him to “look up” to God? Is God a tyrant yet a role model to Satan? I propose that Satan’s drive is something more than just an act of pretending; maybe, it is rather a means of trying to grasp what he has been taken away from him. Or, we can say that Satan was more. Perhaps he came to existence not in the mold of angel, but as a divine tool. There must be a reason as to: why Satan was considered God’s “first and favorite angel”? This seems to suggest that Satan is, originally, at some level of divinity; an experiment of God’s that was put to the test (or is a test)—a divine prototype.
or an angel? Meanwhile as most came to ridicule, some actually would come to seek the help of
God throws Satan and his followers into hell for their defiance. Satan shows rebellion towards God, this is the first rebellion there ever was. According to Webster’s dictionary rebellion is organized opposition to authority, a conflict in which one faction tries to take control from another. I think rebellion also includes disobedience. John Carrey says that in the epic “Satan concedes his own criminality, and his own responsibility for his fall. He facilitates between remorse and defiance. He confesses that his rebellion was completely unjustifiable, that he had the same freewill and power to stand as all God’s creatures, and that he therefore has nothing to accuse but heavens free love dealt equally to all”(134). Basically Satan did this to himself. We do not really understand why Satan defied God and we probably would not understand.
Satan is indeed “Hurled headlong flaming from th’ethereal sky” (Book I, line 45) and into Hell where he will live in fire. But as a leader, and a true protagonist, Satan chooses to accept his situation and rise as a hero for the pack of fallen angels he has led from Heaven. Even if God is his enemy, at least he is not serving anyone. He possesses his own heaven now, though not joyful and happy as the heaven he was just expelled from, “Farewell happy fields/Where joy for ever dwells: hail horrors, hail/Infernal world, …/ Receive thy new possessor” (Book I, lines 249-253). Satan makes Hell his Heaven with his mind, as he says, “The mind is its own place, and in itself/Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n” (Book I, lines 254-255). Satan acknowledges that he has made a Hell of his previous Heaven, but he also uses that reasoning to make Hell into his own Heaven. His anti-heroic qualities are apparent, though, when he tells his followers in Book I, “To do aught good never will be our task/ But ever to do ill our soul delight” (lines 159-160). It cannot be forgotten that Satan is evil by his creation and through his free will. God created Satan with all of his imperfections but makes it clear that he had a choice by
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).
An angel is a pure spirit created by God. The Old Testament theology included the belief in angels: the name applied to certain spiritual beings or intelligences of heavenly residence, employed by God as the ministers of His will.
