Types of Angels for every Need

 

Following up at our Bible Study at Open Door Church, our teacher for today, Donald brought a study on Angels and their many types. 

 

Last week we studied about the cherubim, two of them on the mercy seat over the ark; Cherubim were to guard and protect the ark. 

 

Guardian Angels:  The most referenced type of angel is the Guardian Angel. Perhaps you were told as a child that a Guardian Angel watched over you, or as an adult you might have—in a moment of desperation—asked God to send your Guardian Angel to deliver you.
