What does the Bible say about are there angels on earth?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that angels do minister on earth as God’s servants, carrying out his purposes and caring for his people according to his sovereign will. Psalm 91:11 speaks of God commanding his angels concerning his children, while Hebrews 1:14 calls them ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. Scripture also records angels guiding and protecting God’s people, as in Exodus 23:20, and sometimes appearing in human form, as Hebrews 13:2 notes. Yet believers are never told to seek, worship, or speculate excessively about angels; Colossians 2:18 warns against this. Our confidence rests not in angels, but in Christ, who rules over all heavenly powers.
