To the Reader
This book deals with a subject of worldwide interest. In unprece-
dented numbers, television programs feature purported accounts of an-
gel involvement in human affairs. Tabloid newspapers publish stories
about numerous reported sightings of extraterrestrial visitors. Book-
stores display shelf after shelf of volumes dealing with the supernatural,
and sales are brisk. In every land people are asking questions such as,
if angels actually exist, who are they? Are they the spirits of the dead?
Are they friendly or hostile? Can they communicate with us?
Most answers given by “authorities” do not satisfy the sincere
seeker for truth. Many of the answers represent mere speculation.
Some are purposely sensational. Others are based on false interpreta-
tions of scripture
.
By contrast, the present volume is filled with inspired information.
It offers answers grounded firmly in the word of God. It not only sets
forth the truth about angels, but, we believe, will lead the reader into a
deeper spiritual experience
.
The first chapter provides a general overview of the existence
and activities of beings in the unseen world. The second chapter
illustrates a few of the numerous ways in which angels are involved in
the personal lives of human beings. Beginning with Chapter 3, the book
sets forth in historical sequence a galaxy of events and experiences in
which angels have been major players
.
It begins with the rebellion of
[5]
Lucifer in heaven before the creation of this world and concludes with
the role of angels in the great hereafter
.
This volume is a priceless resource book, but it is much more than
that; it is a book that lifts the veil between the seen and the unseen
world. It reveals angel involvement in events that secular historians
recorded but could not explain, and gives the reader the feeling that
he or she is an eyewitness of these events—an exciting experience
indeed!
We believe that this book will be prized by seekers of truth all over
the world, that it will help them recognize counterfeit manifestations
