The Believer and the Heavenly Hosts
Why does Scripture talk about the heavenly hosts?
Q1117 · The Creation of the Spiritual World
Scripture attests to their role in the life of humanity when it says, “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Heb. 1:14).
The words “angel, angels, cherub, and cherubim,” and the names of other heavenly hosts are mentioned more than 230 times in the Old Testament and 190 times in the New Testament, which encourages the believer to know them and their love for humanity, and their strong desire for us to enjoy salvation.
