G'day Bill,
Hebrews 2:5 "For He did not subject to angels the coming age of which we speak. "
Seems the angels were created before us, and were very much involved in the set up of the first earth and the running of that age.
Then Jesus comes down, changing the system and rearranging the hierarchy upon His resurrection.
The current state of being still has the angels involved, but not at the same level. Satan still the prince of this age, has some angels backing his government, but will not be at that level of authority in the next phase.
Will be a major change to what we currently have in place.
As the Hebrews verse points out the change of authority will make the world better and a different way of life which will be awesome instead of haphazard.
Currently some angels have been restricted and placed in custody so that they can not use their powers like they'd like. Imagine us trying to overpower them while we are in our current state of being. We have Jesus name/power as our sealed protection, just on hold for the moment till the next phase.
All pretty incredible really.
