YHWH is one God who made all things, true.
Why do you think that God created angels to oversee aspects of creation? Where does the Bible say that?
If you need to ask me where in scriptures it states that God made angels to oversee aspects of creation then it shows that you are not an understander of the scriptures. From the amount of time you are posting responses to scriptural matters, from your claims of knowing the ways of the scriptures, from the debates and exchanges of comments and beliefs about scriptures, you do not understand??
But you asked the question - you know the answer but am always trying to test my understanding of the subject hoping to find a glitch that you can criticise. But here is the thing - the scriptures upholds itself, the truth is they’re in the scriptures, and I am mortal and have sin which means I can make errors. My primary calling is to oppose trinity but other issues impact on such opposition. I don’t profess to be an expert on such side matters (all scriptures is not invested in one person nor even at one time - some revelations require their own time period for them to be exposed) But I will try my best not to make errors that mislead others - and accept reproofs if I do err!
To answer the question you asked about God creating angels to oversee creation, however, is not a hard one. In fact, it is an incredibly simple question to answer - an answer that should not be required since it is a simple as answering ‘What is the answer to 2 + 2 (
presuming 2 is integer value 1 greater than 1 and 1 less than 3).
What are angels? Scriptures states that they are spirit beings who are created to have great power and intelligence (far greater than mankind!) whose purpose is to serve God. The word, ‘Angel’ is just a westernised English version of the Greek word, ‘Angelos’ which means, ‘Messenger’. But there are ranks of these ‘Angelos’, angels, and some are called by other titles such as ‘Seraphim’ and ‘Cherubim’, etc., who appear to never leave the immediate ‘presence’ of God, who serve God ‘day and night’. Of the majority of angels, scriptures notes God as:
- making his messengers as ‘Winds’, his servants ‘Flames of fire’ (psalm 104:4)
‘Winds’ are great forces that impact creation but are unseen directly by mankind. ‘Flames of fire’, again, are driven by invisible forces but are visibly impactive on creation. It is very hard to express the power of events in creation and understand that these are impacts ordered by God and enacted by his ‘Angelos’ since some actions negatively impact humanity and other creatures which humanity cannot understand in terms of (selfishly) beneficial to them.
But the most glorious of all angels, he most intelligent, the strongest, became sinful after aiding in the creation of mankind, ‘in God’s own image’, since mankind only worshipped God. This angel desired also to be worshipped by the creature he helped to make (he made the body but God put the IMAGE into the body to make the creature a LIVING SOUL). This angel caused a coup in heaven and rallied other angels to rebel also. These rebellious angels ‘LEFT THEIR STATIONS’ to join the coup but later found themselves ‘jailed in darkness awaiting a day of trial’ which means their destruction… spirits cannot die nor be ‘killed’ (as humans think of it) They can only de DESTROYED, which removes all remembrance of them!
So, we also have the angels of the ARMY of God, of which an angel is named ‘Micha-El’ is the head.
And there is another Angel of high rank named as Gabriel, who ‘Stands in the presence of God’. Gabriel, also appears to mankind with great revelations and also appears in disputes with fallen angels.
(It is to be noted that God does not approve the naming of angels as a normality since he knows that this can lead to ‘Angel Worship’ - which is a highly sinful thing! So perhaps angels are not named except those few who God knows would oppose being worshipped)
The hierarchy (or ranking) of angels mirrors what mankind set in place in its governmental order and justice systems. And that is not to be wondered at since man is, afterall, ‘Image of God’. Even Jesus instituted a hierachial system in the church (Congregation of God) setting ‘STATIONS’ for each: ‘Bishops’, ‘Deacons’, ‘Priests’, ‘Pastors’, ‘Vicars’, ‘Parsons’… each ministering in his own way in proliferating in the word of God and disseminating it to the world.
God, himself, deploys his ministering angels into the world to do His will. God talks to humanity through a medium, typically and angel (which can also mean, mankind in the way of holy men, prophets, or a simple every-day human being.) When action, rather than words, are required, a relevant angel with the necessary power is dispatched to act out the command of God.
Every organisation needs structure and order in order to function as a cohesive force. As said before, there are ranks of angels in heaven, set by God, to achieve this cohesive heavenly force:
- “Thrones, dominions, principalities, seraphims, cherubims, powers, sovereignties, archangels, and angels.” (‘Angels’ is a cover term for all spirit creatures, even ‘fallen ones’ whom are called ‘Demon [Angels])
