3. THEY ARE BEINGS OF GREAT MIGHT AND POWER.

2 Pet, 2:11--"Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might

(than man)." Psa. 103:20--"Angels that excel in strength." One angel

was able to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, and other guilty cities;

one angel smote the first-born, and rolled away the great stone

from the mouth of the tomb. One angel had power to lay hold of that

old dragon, the devil (Rev. 20:2, 10); one angel smote a hundred

and fourscore and five thousand Assyrians (Isa. 37:36). Their power

is delegated; they are the angels of _His_ might (2 Thess.

1:7), the ministers through whom God's might is manifested. They

are mighty, but not almighty.
