The meaning of ‘angels’ is
the confirmations of God and His celestial powers. Likewise angels are blessed
beings who have severed all ties with this nether world, have been released
from the chains of self and the desires of the flesh, and anchored their hearts
to the heavenly realms of the Lord. These are of the Kingdom, heavenly; these
are of God, spiritual; these are revealers of God’s abounding grace; these are
dawning-points of His spiritual bestowals.
