Angel armies

The last 2 days, we have talked about the nature of Satan and his demons.  Today we will shift focus to God's army of angels and in days to come to putting on the full armor of God.  Let us first look at the book of 2nd Kings Chapter 6.  The story here is quite interesting, in a nutshell, the King of Syria is coming for Elisha.  During the night, the King of Syria's army surrounds the city and Elisha's servant is very upset.  Elisha prays for his servant's eyes to be open and then he sees the unseen army of the Lord.

2nd Kings 6;15-17

15 When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, Alas, my master! What shall we do?16 He said, Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.17 Then Elisha prayed and said, O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see. So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
Another example of this kind of spiritual warfare is in the book of Daniel.  We see an Angel of the Lord rescue Shadrach, Meshach, And Abednego from the fiery furnace.
Daniel 3; 24-26
Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared to his counselors, Did we not cast three men bound into the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.25 He answered and said, But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here! Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire.

Still another example of God's angels fighting the battle against Satan and his demons.
Daniel 10;12-14
12 Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia,14 and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come. 
We see an angel of the Lord speaking to Daniel about a struggle against the "prince of the kingdom of Persia" and "Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me." (Again with the enemy's forces seeming to be tied to countries or a geographic area).  
There are numerous more examples, but the main thing to point out is that in every place where the evil one is waging war, God's angels are battling on our behalf, they are knowledgable about the battle and are helping each other.  There is a great battle happening all around us.  Tomorrow we will talk about the defenses and weapons of this warfare that God has aptly equipped us with.  
Praise God for all He is doing, will do and has yet to do, as long as I have breath, may it be lifted to give His name glory!
