When were the heavenly hosts created?

Q207 · The Wondrous Creator, the Guardian of the World

The Holy Bible is not a book about the history of the world. Its sole purpose is to fulfill God’s will which is full of love for us, and to support us so God’s image can be restored within us, which Adam and Eve lost, and enflame our hearts with love towards Him, and help us realize that we are invited to join the heavenly choir and delight in heavenly glories. That is why the Holy Bible describes the heavenly hosts as shouting for joy when man was created (Job 38:7) in the image of God, and the angels as ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation (Heb. 1:14).
