Working With Angels (Poem, Part 1)

See the series here

Global migration patterns over thousands of years,

Resulted in a …plethora of national diaspora,

Folks who left their homelands for family and careers,

And settled in new lands to begin their …new life agenda.

In some lands, they’re greeted with cheers; in others with jeers.

It’s always challenging to blend into their …new life arenas.

During the U.S. election in the year 2020, 

A preacher strongly called for angelic help …from Africa,

To help her favored candidate retain the presidency.

The Lord did not concur in her political agenda.

While her strange antics were mocked the world over, quite heavily,

They unveil misconceptions of …the angelic diaspora! ¹

Angelic diaspora?! Pray tell, who might that comprise?!

From where did they migrate, and where did they resettle?

Where are they greeted with jeers, and elsewhere with cheerful cries?

With what new agenda and challenges do they wrestle?

With us humans, do they communicate and fraternize?

For answers to such questions, let’s turn to …The Bible.

Hebrews attests God created all things for and by Jesus.

This includes the angelic hosts, created before mankind.

He created them to serve The Godhead and folks just like us.

A third rebelled, fell to Earth, and lost their lofty roles divine.

Some who rebelled again are locked up in a prison, keyless!

Some who didn’t rebel were dispatched to Earth,

to the righteous assigned. ²

Of the two groups to Earth assigned, one’s doing a bang-up job,

As among all their assignees, sinful deeds are preferred.

Of the other group, I wonder if their joy has been robbed,

Because of their assignees’ …angelic notions absurd--

Like about their gender, size, hair/skin color, and their job.

What non-sense about good and evil angels have you heard?! ³

 

The Lord assigns His saints as Earth’s spiritual salt,

To help retard both the rate and extent of degradation.

Let’s explore four principal things from His wisdom vault,

That we should know about our …human-angel coalition.

If in Jesus Christ you are an all-grownup adult,

Check to see if your angelic notions may need revision.

        #1 Their Deployment, Employment and Unemployment

        #2 Their Preference, Proclivity and Responsiveness to ‘Saltiness’

        #3 Their Preferred Means of Communication

        #4 Their Roles in Binding and Loosening

Let's unpack angels' preferences re. these points.

Stay tuned for Part 2
