Most of us know and regard angels as supernatural beings. In the Bible, they are portrayed as exceptional beings who reside in heaven with God. They appeared several times in the Bible to deliver information. And even during the ascension of Jesus Christ, two angels took him to heaven. The Bible indicates that their work in heaven is to worship God and do his will. However, do they have access to our future? Do angels know the future?
The question of whether angels know our future is not black and white and hence cannot be answered with a yes or no answer. However, theologians posit that they know some aspects of our future. This is because they often appeared in the Bible to deliver messages about future events and happenings to the people. However, whenever they appeared, it was clear that God was the one who had sent them to deliver the message. Therefore, they only know what God has allowed them to know.
So, can angels tell my future? What are some ways angels can know the future? Dies God tell angels the future? Can a guardian angel tell you an accurate future? Continue reading this article to learn more about how angels can tell your future.
Can angels tell you your future?
Several biblical shreds of evidence suggest that angels deliver messages about the future. The Bible records in the Old Testament angels like angel Gabriel delivering God’s prophetic message on what will happen in the future. Furthermore, when Mary had conceived, but she did not know, God appeared to both him and Joseph and told them about the son they were about to bear, and they should call him Jesus as he would save the world.
It was also angels who appeared to the shepherds the night Jesus was born and told them of the Messiah and where they could find him. Therefore, angels can deliver a message about your future to you. However, the message they deliver is what God has instructed them to. There is no biblical proof that they know about our future. But the Bible is clear that God knows our end and beginning.
Ways angels can know the future.
The only way angels can know our future is by God telling them. God is the only one who knows our end and our beginning. He created us and knows our road map, as he says he has good plans for us. The Bible even says that he knows every strand of our hair.
Angels may know way much we do about our future, but they are not all-knowing; only God is. 1st Peter 1:12 says, “It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.” Therefore, it is only through God that angels can know the future.
Does God tell angels the future?
God only tells angels the future that he wants them to know. The Bible says in the book of Mathew 24:36 reads, “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the son himself. Only the father knows.” God is all-knowing, and he alone knows our whole future. He only reveals to the angels what pleases him.
We see in the Bible the angels came to deliver messages about the future. The information they know about the future is limited to what God allows them to see and know. In the catholic book of Tobit, Archangel Raphael makes a guess about Tobias’ future and shows he is not certain about it. Tobias 6:18 reads, “I presume you will have children by her.”
Can a guardian angel tell you an accurate future?
Some Christian traditions suggest that everyone has a guardian angel who looks after us and watches over us till our death. In fact, the catechism teaches that guardian angels have always existed, and their main task is to protect us. However, can they tell you an accurate future?
Angels can sometimes tell you an accurate future since they know more than us. Angels only know the parts that God allows them to see. The only way they can tell you your accurate future is when God has revealed to them that aspect of your future. Otherwise, it is only God who can tell you your accurate future as he notes that he knew us even before we were formed in our parent’s womb.
