The Bible is filled with passeages detailing angels and the wonderous works they wrought. They are powerful messengers of God, who are to protect the Holy and elect of God, and without a doubt they deserve to be respected, their presence inspires awe and overwhelms when they are seen with our eyes, for they are far greater and more glorious than man, but this does not mean they should be worshipped or prayed too. Manasseh king of Judah and son of Hezekiah did the exact opposite of his father, he rebuilt the groves and made alters for Baal, and in second kings 21: 3 it says he “and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.” The only beings mentioned as heavenly host throughout the scriptures would be the angels, as all the false gods are claimed to be either false gods or idols, not heavenly beings. Worshipping heavens angels is in the same category as worshipping false gods because we are worshipping something other than God himself. While angels are very powerful and are messengers of God they are not God, and should not be worshipped, to worshio them is to commit idolatry and give God’s glory unto another. There is nothing wrong with having respect for God’s angels and if you receive angelic visitation (something rare in the times since Jesus since now we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us) it is ok to be awestruck by them, but to worship them and make idols of them asking them to bestow this or that upon you is to commit a sin. Many groups try even today to communicate and worship angels, thinking more of these powerful spiritual beings which are still a creation, than they do of the one who created them. If angels, who are but messengers of the king, are so powerful that one can lay waste to armies on Earth, how much more powerful and how much more worthy of praise and worship is the one who created and commands the host of heaven, trust then not in the creations, but in the one who has created all things, and Him only should we praise.
