Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Angels. Ever since the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, set down his pen, there has been much fascination and speculation about them. We know what we need to know; what our Lord has told us in Holy Scripture. And that is enough. And what the Lord has told us, is that there are two kinds of angels: the good and the evil. All originally created good, but some now fallen. And they fought. There was war in heaven. Michael and his angels cast them out of heaven and threw them down to the earth. So woe to you, O earth and sea, John said. Woe to you, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath.
