“Angelic Oversight”

Sincerely, Ruling The Skies
Dear Ruling The Skies,
Yes, Christians will judge angels – the same way the Queen of the South judges spiritually lazy people. The verse in question is 1 Cor 6:3. We have to keep in mind that there are many ways to bring judgment on others. In our case, we will bring judgment on others through our example. God uses people’s examples to condemn others in similar circumstances.
- The Queen of the South condemns those who won’t seek the truth (Matt 12:42).
- The citizens of Nineveh will condemn those who won’t repent of their sins after hearing the gospel (Matt 12:42).
- Christians will condemn those who have excuses for why they didn’t serve God (1 Cor 6:2).
Angels that denied God and went to serve Satan (Rev 12:9) will have no excuse for not having served God. All Christians will stand as a living example and condemnation against the angels that chose to deny God and turn to evil.If we, having not seen God (Ex 33:20), can still serve Him… the angels who are ever before Him (Matt 18:10) are without excuse.
