Who or What Are Angels?

 How many angels are there?


 The Bible does not give an exact figure, but it does show that their number is vast.  For example, a vision given  to the apostle John included a glimpse of hundreds of millions of angels. - REVELATION 5:11.


Do angels have individual names and personalities?


Yes. The Bible gives the names of two angels: Michael and Gabriel. (Daniel 12:1; Luke 1:26) Other angels acknowledged that they had names, but they did not reveal them. - GENESIS 32:29; JUDGES 13:17, 18. 


Angels have distinct personalities  They can communicate with one another.  (1 Corinthians 13:1)  They have thinking ability and are able to compose expressions of praise to God. (Luke 2:13, 14)  And they have the freedom to choose between right and wrong, as seen when some of them sinned by joining Satan the Devil in his rebellion against God. - MATTHEW 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4. 


Next time: Who or What Are Angels? - Are there different ranks among angels?
