The Angels of the Tabernacle

 

Inside the Tabernacle, Angels were embroidered in Gold on the covering curtain. They were embroidered on both sides of the gate curtain to the Holy of Holies, and on the inside of the gate curtain that led into the Holy Place.

 

The Ark of the Covenant had two Cherubim as guards to the integrity of God. They were guarding the way to God, just as Cherubim guarded the way to tree of life at the entrance to the “Garden of Eden”, after Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden.

 

The angels were looking into the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies from all sides and from the top too. This is depicting that angels are constantly watching the events in the Church, and in human history. Angels carry out acts of judgement as God's command.

 

The observation of angels can be noted from the following passages.

At Jesus birth

Luke 2:9-14

“An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them and they were terrified. But the angel said to them. “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests.”

 

Hebrews 1:14

“Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”

 

1 Peter 1:12

“It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached to gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.”
