Angels appear to decide some
judgments upon men
Dan.4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the
demand by the word of the holy ones:
v23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down
from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump
of the roots thereof in the earth… v31 While the word was in the king's
mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee
it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
Lk.1:19-20 And the angel answering said
unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak
unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to
speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou
believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Gen.19:11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Ecc.5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin;
neither say thou before the angel,
that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy
the work of thine hands?
1 Tim.5:21 I charge thee before God,
and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect
angels, that thou observe
these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by
partiality.
1 Ki.22:19-22 And he said, Hear thou
therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him
on his right hand and on his left. And the Lord said, Who
shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said
on this manner, and another said on that manner. And there came forth a spirit,
and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.
And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will
be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt
persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. (also 2 Chr.18:18-22)
But they cannot see
into the hearts of men
Only God can:
1 Ki.8:39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
