Visions of Heaven/Visions of Those in the Invisible Heavens

"I [the prophet Daniel] kept watching until thrones were set in place and the Ancient Days of [Jehovah] sat down. . . . A thousand thousands kept ministering to him, and tens thousand times ten thousand stood before him." -Daniel 7:9, 10. 

In this vision of heaven, Daniel saw not just one angel but multitudes. What awe-inspiring vision that must have been!  Angels are glorious spirit persons, intelligent and  powerful. Their ranks include seraphs and cherubs.  The Bible mentions angels more than 250 times. 

Angels are not former humans who have lived on earth,the angels were on hand to observed and to shout in applause. -Job 38:4-7.  

One way faithful angels minister to God is by being involved in the most important work being done on  earth today-the proclamation of the good news of God's Kingdom.  (Matthew 24:14)  Their involvement in this work was revealed in a vision to the apostle John, who wrote:  "I saw another angel flying in  midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people."  (Revelation 14:6)  Though angels do not speak to people today as they did on occasion in times past, they do help guide those preaching the good news to the honesthearted ones.
