Page 94 - Ephesians

I wonder if they can take in the landscape of the whole world with
one glance? I know they’re not confined to one single spot in the
universe. If they wanted to see Mt. Washington, they don’t have
to take the railroad to the top, like I had to do. With rapid wing,
they can fly anywhere in God’s universe. They could probably
scan ten thousand worlds in a flash.

Angels were there when God created the universe. They saw the
first light, when God spoke it into existence. There had never
been light before. The Bible says they burst into song. In the
book of Job 38:4-7,
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding. Whereupon are the
foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone
thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the
sons of God shouted for joy?

They saw sinless angels. They saw dark angels fall. They saw
the glory of God in heaven. What has not passed before angelic
eyes? Let me suggest something that would impress an angel,
and capture their attention. You’d think they would be bored with
anything you could show them. This is clearly recorded, yet I still
have a hard time believing it. This is amazing! The angels, with
all their ability, all there wisdom, all their infinite possibilities, can’t
get over the Church in union with Christ! They study you day
and night. They stare, gaze, admire and wonder.

According to this passage. There is more wisdom in being united
to Christ, than there is in the whole of God’s creation. This
universe, is not God’s picture of wisdom. The angels look at all
the wisdom of God, and they come back to study the Church.
That’s the full revelation of God in all its glory. All through the
Bible, the angels are pictured longing to see, leaning over,
meditating, delving into, and watching the Church. They saw
Adam, and they saw him fall. They saw Moses, Aaron, and a long
succession of priests. They watched the nation Israel march up to
Mt. Zion chanting hymns. They saw oceans of blood, flowing from
Jewish alters. They saw incense and prayer, rising to heaven.
They beheld “Emmanuel”. God became man. The angels burst
into song!
