Angels - In God's Eyes

>
Gen. 19:16
(Lot)
"And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city."
BibleNote: Could this be one of those supernatural transports to get them out of harms way quickly on behalf of Abraham? I think it was.
See (Lot Chose His Path)
Gen. 24:7
(Abraham)
"The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, 'To your descendants I give this land,' He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there."
Num. 22:31 "Then the Lord opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face."
2 King. 19:34-35 " 'For I will defend this city, to save it
For My own sake and for My servant
   David's sake.'
And it came to pass on a certain night that the *angel (Or Angel) of the Lord went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when *people (Lit. they) arose early in the morning, there were the corpses - all dead."
Psa. 34:7 "The *angel (Or Angel) of the Lord encamps all
   around those who fear Him,
And delivers them."
Psa. 103:20 "Bless the Lord, you His angels,
Who excel in strength, who do His
   word,
Heeding the voice of His word."
Isa. 37:36 "Then the *angel (Or Angel) of the Lord went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when *people (Lit. they) arose early in the morning, there were the corpses - all dead."
Matt. 24:31

"And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

Luke 15:10

"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

Acts 12:7-10 "Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, 'Arise quickly!' And his chains fell off his hands. Then the angel said to him, 'Gird yourself and tie on your sandals'; and so he did. And he said to him, 'Put on your garment and follow me.' So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision."
Acts 12:21-23 "So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them. And the people kept shouting, 'The voice of a god and not of a man!' Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died."
Heb. 1:13-14 "But to which of the angels has He ever said:

'Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies
Your footstool'?
   (Psa. 110:1)

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?"
Example:
(Elijah)
1 Kin 19:4-8
"But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, 'It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!' Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an *angel (Or Angel) touched him, and said to him, 'Arise and eat.' Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on *coals, (hot stones) and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again. And the *angel (Or Angel) of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, 'Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.' So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God."
Heb. 13:1 "Let brotherly love continue.
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels."
1 Pet. 1:12 "To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven - things which angels desire to look into."
