On the subject of angels, I am formulating a theory that would warrant further study. However, what I propose would have far reaching implications and possibilities if true.
“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” – Matthew 22:30
“But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”” – Hebrews 1:13-14
According to Jesus’ reply to the Saduccees question on the resurrection in Matthew 22, it is the destiny of those who are saved to be as the angels in heaven. That at the present moment, we are a little lower than angels, but when we are raised to life, “…it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” – 1 John 3:2
We see a hint of this after Jesus’ resurrection, that Jesus possessed a body that is able to appear in a locked room, but also able to eat fish and honeycomb. But angels also seem to possess this capability to eat. In Genesis 18, Abraham fed three men, two of them angels (cross-reference to Genesis 19:1).
What if angels were once physical beings on another planet in God’s creation who have gone through the same salvation process as we are going through? While it seems like Mormon theology, I’m not advocating that God was once a man on a different planet and became God off this planet, no I’m speaking strictly about just about angels. The angels would then have known the mercy of God’s grace and experienced life and death as physical beings, but have been exalted to spiritual beings capable of the same manifestation as Jesus demonstrated after the resurrection.
What if we could become like angels and our future role would to aid God on some other planet that will go through the same salvation process; that we would be indeed the same type of ministering spirits as the angels in duty perform now? Perhaps there would be many such beings on other planets in the universe which would be our task to minister to. This would certainly would make our growth in eternity more realistic if we had some ministry to perform. We would certainly be taking a very active role in God's plan rather than plucking on a harp forever.
What do you think of this theory?
