THINGS THAT ANGELS DESIRE TO STUDY

What will that day be like? The day when all the saints will be gathered, the day when the trials of God’s children will end, the day we will meet JESUS face to face, the day the Lord will fully reveal everything He has prepared for us from eternity — our eternal dwelling places. The Bible says these are things even holy angels long to look into and understand.

It is similar to how we long to catch a glimpse of heaven, even just a little. We have been hearing of its beauty since long ago, but have never seen it. In the same way, the angels in heaven long with great desire to witness the wonders that Jesus Christ has prepared for the elect on that day.

Even from where they are, the holy angels sense the greatness of the glory God has prepared for His saints. They know it will be magnificent, but they have not yet seen it in fullness. They understand that the day of God’s redemption of His children is a great day; things that have never been seen or heard will be revealed. This anticipation fills them with eager desire to see what God has planned.

“However, as it is written: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has conceived the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.’”
(1 Corinthians 2:9)

It is not only the angels who eagerly await this day; all creation longs for it. The Apostle Paul says:

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
(Romans 8:18)

“For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.”
(Romans 8:19)

“For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.”
(Romans 8:20–21)

Currently, we cannot fully describe these things because they have not yet been revealed. But we know one attribute of God: He does not lie. As He said:

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
(Isaiah 55:9)

We may imagine these things in human terms, but when we see them in reality, we will understand how far God’s plans surpass our imagination.

The day we leave this world will bring joy not only to us and all creation, but also to the angels in heaven. There will be unseen celebration and unmeasurable happiness.

Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, if we meditate quietly on these things, we will not be overly troubled by the trials of life. We will keep our eyes on heaven, disregarding the opinions of the world. We will behold our Savior JESUS CHRIST, patiently waiting for the blessings God has prepared. We will live as pilgrims and travelers here on earth.

“If you call on Him, you will be saved, through faith, and inherit the salvation of your souls. Concerning this salvation, the prophets who predicted the grace that would come to you searched and inquired carefully, trying to understand the time and circumstances revealed by the Spirit of Christ within them, regarding the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.”
(1 Peter 1:9–11, paraphrased)

“It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things now announced to you through those who preached the gospel by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.”
(1 Peter 1:12)

“Therefore, prepare your minds for action and be sober-minded, setting your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
(1 Peter 1:13)

“As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.”
(1 Peter 1:14)

“But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’”
(1 Peter 1:15–16)

Therefore, strengthen your walk with God. If your life is currently distant from Christ, now is the time to return to Him. While the door of grace remains open, repent fully and begin a new life in the Lord.

Be baptized in the proper way, in the name of JESUS CHRIST, to receive forgiveness of sins, according to Acts 2:38. The Lord will then give you the gift of His Holy Spirit, as He promised. From that moment, you will be among those worthy to witness the glory that will soon be revealed.

We live in the last days — let us remain steadfast in holiness, fellowship, and prayer.

THE LORD BLESS YOU.
