2. Angels ~ 8 ~ 2. ANGELS Of the many beings created by God, the angels are of special importance. God has invested them with the supernatural power to keep order in the functioning of the universe. They do not, however, deviate in the slightest from the path of God, for all their functioning is in complete obedience to His will. Diverse and numerous events are taking place at every moment in the universe, for instance, the movement of the stars, the shining of the sun and moon, the falling of the rain, the alternation of the seasons, and so on. All of these, and many other continually recurring events are attended to by the angels. Working in the universe as extremely faithful and obedient servants of God, they ensure the continued existence of the human and animal species on earth. As well as running the world’s systems, these angels, a numerous band, take charge of all matters in heaven and hell.
