Bible passage: Genesis 1:1
“ In the beginning God created heavens and the earth”
Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord. All saints from branch churches, and local sanctuaries. GCN viewers and all children of God who attend the worship online.
This is 13th Lecture on Genesis. Last time, I explained the general characteristics of angels, along with the organization of Angel's world. The total number of entire angels that God created is too numerous to count. The angels’ world is organized better than any other government or army on earth, and its order is precisely practiced. I told you that an archangel is equivalent to the minister of a department.
These archangels are arms and legs of God the Father who searches every field. Some of their names are particularly recorded in the Bible. They are none other than Gabriel and Micheal. However, these names are not their exact names in Heaven. They have different names that they are called in Heaven. "Gabriel," and "Michael" are the names that are translated into the languages of this earth.
The name of an angel is unique according to its rank and role. In other words, you can figure out an angel's rank and duty just by knowing its name in Heavenly language, but you can’t in earth languages. You are curious about the names of other archangels other than Gabriel and Michael, aren't you? I will introduce the names of the 3 important archangels. We don't need to know the names of other archangels. Of course, God will let us know their names if we pray, but we don't need to do it, do we?
Now, what are the duties of the archangels Gabriel and Michael? In the monarchy era, Government officials were divided into civil and military ranks. Military servants were the ones who took care of military-related jobs and the other servants were civil. Likewise, Gabriel is in the class of civil services, and Michael is in military services.
