Because there's a passage in Scripture where John gets a vision of the post-resurrection Jesus on his throne. And he says there are 10,000 times 10,000 angels there. Well, that's 100 million angels just in that setting around the throne of Jesus worshiping him. So we got a minimum of 100 million angels. I believe that's just the tip of an iceberg. So do we become angels when we die?

No, no, we are made in God's image. We have capabilities that angels don't have. They have capabilities we don't have, but they are a separate creation. What kind of capabilities? That they would have? Both. Well, first of all, they're not embodied, so they're spirits. So they have the ability to move and transport themselves at great speed.

That's why you see many pictures of angels with wings on them. They don't technically have wings generally, but they're able to move a lot faster than we are because their spirits are not encumbered by a human body. They don't grow old. They don't age. So, because there's no physical body to get older and older. Have they always been? Yeah, no, God at some point created them.

This would have probably been before the creation of the world. And he created these legions of angels whose purpose is described in scripture to minister to God's people. And there are indications, this is a bit of a dispute in the Christian world, but there are indications that we have a guardian angel. That is an angel who specifically kind of guards over us and watches over us.

That's disputed? It's disputed. There are people who disagree with that. I think there's two passages in Scripture that suggest that it's real. Certain denominations certainly believe in it. The Orthodox Christian Church believes at the time of baptism you are assigned a guardian angel. Others believe that you have one from Bethlehem.

the time that you're born, the time that you become a Christian. Peter, there's some indication that Peter had a guardian angel. We see that in scripture. When Jesus was talking about little children, he said, don't disregard these little kids because their angels see the face of God every day. Well, who are their angels? I think guardian angels. Interesting. Watching over them.

So there is some scripture that is outside the Protestant Bible and in the Catholic Bible that talks more about guardian angels. So Catholics may have a little bit stronger view of this than Protestants would. But I think there's sufficient evidence. I talk about this in my new book. Sufficient evidence that guardian angels really do exist. What...
