Gen. 16
7 "And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.;

8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.;

9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.;

10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.;

11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction."

Matthew 8:9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

I believe that they are restrained in certain ways... but I believe that a lot of demonic activity is related to the fallen Angels and their lust?

The fallen angels that sided with Lucifer took the daughters of men as wifes and had children, so yes they can procreate, they are not doing now because the were imprisoned because of what they have done and their judgment is coming. The scripture fro this is scattered but it is there. I think. I may be wrong, that are chained in the river Euphrates. Maybe y'all can help me out on this.

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,
he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

​
they are not the same as

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates;
and the water thereof was dried up,

that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

they are bound there just waiting for the right time, there not in chains, not bad angeles​

Oh, I had thought that you were going to correct it to say something referring to this verse.

John 3:6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

Yes, dear sister.
If possible in the order in the Bible... (Genesis, Exodus...). With internet tools has been easier to find them (not the angels, I mean, the verses). :)

Gen. 19
1"And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;"

15 "And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city."

Gen. 21
17 "And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation."

Your kidding..fornication..really..!??...Ps 103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Ps 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

Mt 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Mt 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Heb 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

come on as if..!!!...fair slice of the cheese..!

9 ¶ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

We are those angels. We are in flesh bodies at this point in time due to what happened to cause all of this, but we were angels before and we will be angels again:

In order for GOD to know Jeremiah before he was formed in the belly, Jeremiah had to be somewhere.

Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.


This angel says he was one of the prophets. There is no such thing as an angel prophet. Only men were prophets (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, etc.).

Rev 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Rev 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Angels are and were powerful beings, and that is what we were before coming here in the flesh. That is what we will be again when we are changed into that spirit body that is described in 1st Corinthians chapter fifteen.

1 corinthians 6
so when god said he created man, your saying he got it wrong man pre-existed, , i havent seen any scripture to back your ideas, jesus made himself a little lower than the angels while on earth but was always king as far as man was concerned, hebrews 2:9,

1 corinthians 6
…2Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? 3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? 4So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?…

NO one really knows for sure. As always I see what is happening in the world and go by testimony and personal experience as to what is available and what is happening on a spiritual level, I have made numerous posts about things such as healing and miricles when speaking about Gifts of Holy SPirit for example.

As for pro-creation with humans, demons are still at it. I know of someone who can be defined as a Nephilim, she has a strange presence about her and she has abilities which no other human has. I could give you all the gory details, but I wont, its very disturbing how her conception came about and yes it was by a demon. I will say no more in case someone somewhere recognises who I am talking about, but please beleive me, this person is a wonderful person to be with, she does not behave towards people in a nasty or evil way, but she is who she is.

First off, We are NOT angels. We are different from them because we were created after God's image(Gen.1:26, Gen 3:22). Human has a soul while angel has no soul.

There 5 divisions of angels in heaven namely:

1 seraphims (isaiah 6 whole chapter)= these angels have 6 wings. they are Declaring the glory of God by saying " Holy, Holy, Holy ". u can read the whole verse i gave u about them.

2 Cherubims ( Ezekiel 1:1-10, Gen.3:24) = Also involved in the worship and praised of God. Cherubs are the angels which first mentioned in the bible. Each of them had four faces- that of a man,a lion, an ox, and an eagle. Each had four wings. They are protecting the Glory.

3 Living Creatures (Revelation 4 whole chapter). there are only 4 of them mentioned in the Bible. they were covered with eyes , in front and in the back. the first " living creatures " was like a lion, the 2nd was like an ox, the 3rd had a face like a man, the forth was like a flying eagle. each of them had six wings also and were covered also with eyes even under of its wings. Somewhat similar to cherubims and seraphims and yet they are different, combination between the seraphims and cherubims.

4 Arcangels (Rev 1 whole chapter, Daniel 10:13)= they are the chief angels, leading angels, warring angels, and messenger angels. There are three Arcangels mentioned in the bible such as Lucifer, Michael, and Gabriel. one of them as we knew has fallen already. Among of these three, Lucifer was the only unique arc angel who had two position in heaven. He had a position as an arcangel and the other one is a Cherub. the bible said he's also an anointed cherub(Ezekiel 28:14).

5 Angels or common angels (Gen 18: 1-19, Joshua 5:13-14)= They have NO wings, they appeared as young men in the bible. they are wingless angels. Actually there are many verses in the bible about them.

sorry, but it doesn't make any sense to say we were those angels!...
Let's pay attention to what the Bible says...

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour."


Psalms 8:4-5
