The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

2Kings 19:35, “And that night the angel of
the Lord went forth, and slew a hundred and
eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians;
and when men arose early in the morning, behold,
these were all dead bodies.”
Acts 12:23, “Immediately an angel of the
Lord smote him because he did not give God the
glory and he was eaten by worms and died.”
It may be difficult for some believers to
accept that these are angels of the Lord. It may be
especially difficult for those in the current
“Emerging Church Movement” that rejects the
institutional Church, as well the ‘grace-only’
universalist churches who virtually write the Old
Testament off due to their finished work of the
Cross doctrines that consequently removes the
reality of hell.
That is, those who for example, whilst
virtually writing sin and the Old Testament off
due to the finished work of the Cross, postulate
that any institutional church is a false religion of
rules and manmade laws. These people consider
the angels that execute God’s judgment in the Old
Testament to be demonic angels as I have read;
because God so loves he would not do such
things. Never the less, they cannot help but refer
back to the Old Testament at times as well as the
sad reality that not everyone prayed over for
healing gets well as they preach that they should.
