Three Angels of God: A Story of the Bible, Based Upon Written Scriptures and Unwritten

By Howard Bastian

The beginning scene of the book highlights the war in heaven, and as a result, the angels were classified into three classifications, those loyal to God or Lucifer and the others who did not support God or Lucifer in the war. The loyal angels remained in heaven, and the angels loyal to Lucifer, with the ones who did not support Lucifer nor God, were cast out into the darkness. The hard-hearted angels that supported Lucifer became known as demons who roamed the earth. God showed his mercy and prepared a redemption plan for the angels who did not support him or Lucifer. The Three Angels of God does not contradict the Holy Bible but fills in many points not fully addressed for a better understanding.
There are many biblical nuggets highlighted in the book; a few are
1. a more analytical view of events that took place in the garden of Eden;
2. the importance of the womb for spiritual beings;
3. the feast day shared by John the Baptist and Jesus Christ;
4. the qualifications that made Jesus Christ worthy to become the redeemer;
5. an explanation of Nathanael’s prayer under the fig tree;
6. the significance of Jesus and his mother at the marriage at Cana;
7. the future role of Mary and Apostle John, who stood at the crucifixion;
8. dissection of the “Our Father” prayer;
9. an analytical view of Jesus at the Last Supper;
10. Jesus’s crucifixion in relation to the ancient tabernacle and the first man and woman in the garden of Eden; and
11. the dial for the return of Jesus Christ.

About the Author

The Three Angels of God is dedicated to my youngest daughter, who reminds me of my deceased spiritual grandmother, affectionately called Abba, and to believers who continuously seek to understand better God's grace, mercies, and salvation for humanity.

Introduction

Persons read the Bible for many reasons. From a historical point of view, to criticize, seek information, or strengthen one's belief in God. Some persons feel that the writing in the Bible ought not to be questioned. The Bible records that in some cases, our forefathers sought clarity. It is impossible to capture all traditions and actions of Jesus's three years of ministry in a book. The writing in the Bible verifies this point.

Others cannot discuss the Bible without quoting scriptures for every biblical point. Sometimes these approaches discourage listeners based on their spiritual journey. We cannot be Jesus Christ, but if we understand his teachings and imitate him in our words and actions, we will present a better case of him to the world.

The Bible consists of a selection of many books written under the influence of the Holy Spirit that continues to influence today. As sincere readers, we can only hope for the assistance of the Holy Spirit for a better understanding.

Most human beings, including Christians, sometimes question their purpose on earth and are usually not fully satisfied with the answers. These answers could significantly affect the approach to living. One's journey and perspective may change dramatically after realizing that humans are angels with souls, hearts, and spirits.

As a result of the war in the kingdom of God, only the loyal angels remained. The angels with hardened hearts became demons, and the redeemable ones to the word of God eventually formed humanity. They were both thrown out of heaven.

Most Christians accept that God created humanity to worship and serve him. I agree, but the statement is partially correct. I believe that whatever God does is good because he knows everything from the beginning to the end and that there is no need for him to recreate.

After God completed creation in his kingdom, I cannot understand why he would create humanity when there are many magnificent loyal spirits to worship and serve him. I do not think there was a need for God to create a new creation like humanity. Humanity came about to restore God's initial plan. The soul, heart, and spirit comprise the fallen angels in the images of God, placed in an inferior body formed from the dust of the earth for redemption purposes. As a result, the angels placed in the dust became lower than the loyal angels in heaven.

The spiritual world is incredible with its many wonders. Therefore we are reminded that nothing is impossible with God. It is my pleasure to share Three Angels of God.

The First Estate

In ignorance, some think about the spiritual world as a secondary, not knowing that the physical world stems from it. The spiritual world transactions were wiped from our memory when we entered the physical world. The makeup of our physical world with its excellent structures such as castles, skyscrapers, statues, highways, and other perfected, human-made items give us a glimpse of the unimaginable beauty in the spiritual world.

In ancient times, God gave man plans and measurements to build physical objects. Many people are unaware that the most magnificent structures ever created by humanity were designed directly by God. Noah received instruction from the Lord on building the ark with the gopher wood and the rooms. Moses received the word from the Lord to accumulate from the people offerings to make the designs given to him to construct the ark of the testimony, tables, furniture, curtains, a veil, the altars with their vessels, the court of the tabernacle, and the attire for the priest office. God showed the prophet Ezekiel the layout and measurement for the temple of God in a vision. God laid out the walls, gates, chambers, porches, windows, courtyards, posts, arches, steps, buildings, and altars. The splendid Holy City of Jerusalem that appeared to Apostle John describes the walls, gates, foundation, precious stones, and streets. He also mentioned a court outside of the temple for the Gentiles. Jesus Christ said that there are many mansions in his Father's house and that he would go to prepare a place for us. This statement proves that our earthly structures are forms of the spiritual world in many ways.

The Almighty God is King and lives in an organized kingdom. Some of the heavenly beings present reports before the throne of God on humanity's actions as we reflect on the seven stars in God's right hand and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches. The dying disciple Stephen, while full of the Holy Spirit, got a glimpse of this magnificent spiritual world when he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

The angels nearest to God are the cherubim and the seraphim. Many angels perform different functions. For example, the Bible mentions how the cherubim were placed east in the garden of Eden with a flaming sword to protect the tree of life. The archangel named Gabriel stands in God's presence and delivers his messages. The angel Michael is a chief prince who leads God's army against evil forces. During the birth of
