Not only were the heavens made by and for Jesus Christ, but also #2. The Angels were made for Jesus Christ, both good and evil..
I recall scripture says that when He returns, He will have His Angels with Him matt 16:27
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with
his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Matthew 24:31
And he shall send
his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
In forming the Eternal Purpose of redemption, God was pleased that the elect Angels [ see
1 Timothy 5:21] would be employed by Him unto the Heirs of salvation [ see heb 1:13-14]
note: here: The Heirs of salvation were known and loved by God in His Eternal Purpose from eternity and before they actually existed in time..
The Angels were made by Him and for Him to worship Him heb 1:
5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith,
And let all the angels of God worship him.
The evil angels too serve Him and His eternal purpose, and He made them also, in col 1 16 we read:
16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
For He created or made, brought into existence Thrones, Dominions, Principalities, Powers, and within the scope of these things, are the angelic, heavenly authorities, whether good or evil, and As Jehovah made the wicked [ prov 16:4] both wicked men and angels are made to serve the Eternal redemptive purpose in Christ..
These principalities, powers and authorities are not limited to heavenly invisible beings, but to also that which is seen here in our under world, human government and authorities as well..
rom 8:38
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
eph 3:10
To the intent that now
unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
eph 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Notice, the rulers of darkness of this world , the greek is:
kosmokratōr :
lord of the world, prince of this age
a) the devil and his demons
Jn 12:
31Now is the judgment of this world:
now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And we know these are angels.. So all these angels, both good and evil were made by Christ and for Christ to serve His Eternal and Soterilogical Purpose unto the Glory of God..
Even now all these things and creatures and powers and authorities are under His subjection and serving His purpose see 1 pet 3:22
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and
powers being made subject unto him.
These authorities and powers have been made subject to Him..
This is the passive voice aorist tense, so its past tense, and the word subject here is the greek word:
hypotassō which means:
to arrange under, to subordinate
2) to subject, put in subjection
3) to subject one's self, obey
4) to submit to one's control
5) to yield to one's admonition or advice
6) to obey, be subject
All these entities good or evil are under His control and obey His Sovereign Power see Matt 28:18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
How many of us believe to day that all demonic and devilish forces are obeying the risen Christ ? Even while on earth a glimpse of this glory was given and acknowledged : mk 1:27
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he
even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
You see that, even the unclean spirits, they do obey Him, if then, how much more so in His Glory ?
Look at the activity of unclean spirits ! Matt 12:
43When
the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45Then goeth he, and taketh
with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Do you believe today that these unclean spirits are under the control and obedience of Christ ?
I certainly do, in light of 1 pet 3 22 it has to be true..
And so, all Angels both good and evil were made by Him and for Him..
