Angels complete in Messiah



Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  

 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Alahim: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.


Lucifer desired to rule as Alahim in the church though Messiah was still a mystery to him or any angels till the cross. 

1Co 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Yahuah of glory.

Though the Bible doesn’t directly tell us when angels were created but they were created  when Alahim created the heavens Gen 1:1.Only the description of what was created on earth is given and not of heaven where angels are but Alahim's word says Alahim gathers all things in heaven and on earth to himself in Messiah. Col 1:15 says he is the firstborn over all creation.

Notice the fullness of time/s


Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 


Ga 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, Alahim sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Messiah in the fullness of time (the cross) gathers in one all things which are in heaven and on earth in him.

1Pe 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of Alahim; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
  
Why was there a need to gather the angels in heaven in Messiah? Are they not perfect? 

Perfection only comes through Messiah. He only is the perfect one who as the Son was OBEDIENT in all things to Alahim the Father. If angels were perfect they would not fall as some of them fell which we call Satan and demons.


Jude 1:6 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.


Their habitation is imperfect without BEING IN CHRIST. 


2Pe 2:4 For if Alahim spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

What was the temptation made to Eve? 


Ge 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:5 For Alahim doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.6 ¶ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.


Paul says when a bishop is ordained; he should not be a novice lest he be lifted up with pride and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 


1Ti 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.


Alahim’s word tells us what this condemnation of the devil was.  Daniel was not present when Lucifer fell (Eze 28:3) but Alahim says that his loftiness was that no secret can be hidden from him and his pride that he is wiser than Daniel (to be as a Alahim instead of learning from Daniel (church) who reveals the manifold wisdom of Alahim). This was the will of Alahim for angels that they learn from Church and that’s why Word of Alahim says ‘Men did eat angels food’ (Psalms 78:5).


Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.


Compare with Re 19:12  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
 

Re 2:18 ¶ And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of Alahim, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;


Ac 7:30 ¶ And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Yahuah in a flame of fire in a bush.


The Angel of the Yahuah in a flame of fire who appeared to Moses in the bush represents Yahusha who is the head of all principality and angelic beings. His eyes a flame of fire: revealing who Alahim is. 


Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
 
The language in Eze 28 is hyperbole (an over statement which cannot be taken literally but figuratively)


Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Yahuah GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a Alahim, I sit in the seat of Alahim, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not Alahim, though thou set thine heart as the heart of Alahim:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:


Lucifer’s heart was lifted up thinking he is wise whereas only Messiah is the WISDOM of GOD. He is the SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH/Hidden wisdom


Ps 91:1 ¶ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.


Ps 119:114 ¶ Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

That’s why the elect angels desire to look unto and learn from the church the manifold wisdom of Alahim because they understand Alahim’s will in this for them. They find their completeness in Messiah who is the image of the invisible Alahim.


Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of Alahim

The angels who realized their incompleteness were the elect angels (though they had no sin in them)  whereas Lucifer thought he was complete in wisdom. The angels saw their completeness in Messiah (figuratively) who was invisible (hidden/mystery) and learnt the manifold wisdom of Alahim through the church  when prophecy was unfolded.

If they were perfect there was no need for them to learn from the church the manifold wisdom of Alahim, they would have it inherently when they were created. The state of man was the same. Adam and Eve though not yet sinned were still incomplete without Messiah ( both were naked but not ashamed)


1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.


The tree of knowledge of good and evil was a symbol of WISDOM which is outside of Alahim.


1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with Alahim. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.20 And again, The Yahuah knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.


Eve and Adam fell in the same condemnation of the devil by eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil desiring to be as Alahim. The hidden wisdom (Messiah the tree of life) was a mystery which Alahim ordained before the world unto our glory.

1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of Alahim in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which Alahim ordained before the world unto our glory:


The angels who left their first estate/habitation (Jude 1:6) were the ones who thought they were complete without Messiah (Messiah was a mystery). They did not see their need to be in Messiah.


Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.


Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:


We can learn from the principle which Paul speaks about the need for a woman to cover her head.


1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.


The elect angels learn from the woman (church who is under the covering of her husband Messiah) 


1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Messiah; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Messiah is Alahim.


Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Messiah and the church.


Peter says the angels greater in power do not accuse sinful men before Alahim who despise the government of Messiah.


2Pe 2:10 ¶ But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Yahuah.

In conclusion Messiah is the head of both man as well as principalities and powers

1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Messiah; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Messiah is Alahim.

Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Elect man and Elect angels are subjected to him but prideful man and stiff neck spirits (Satan and demons) will be subjected to him when they will bow their knee to him.

Php 2:10 That at the name of Yahusha every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
