The devil said, “If you are God's Son, jump off. The Scriptures say: ‘God will give his angels orders about you. They will catch you in their arms, and you won't hurt your feet on the stones.’ ”

Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came to help him.

and the one who scattered them is the devil. The harvest is the end of time, and angels are the ones who bring in the harvest.

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everyone who does wrong or causes others to sin.

That's how it will be at the end of time. Angels will come and separate the evil people from the ones who have done right.

The Son of Man will soon come in the glory of his Father and with his angels to reward all people for what they have done.

The Lost Sheep

(Luke 15.3-7)

Don't be cruel to any of these little ones! I promise you their angels are always with my Father in heaven.

When God raises people to life, they won't marry. They will be like the angels in heaven.

At the sound of a loud trumpet, he will send his angels to bring his chosen ones together from all over the earth.

No One Knows the Day or Time

(Mark 13.32-37; Luke 17.26-30,34-36)

No one knows the day or hour. The angels in heaven don't know, and the Son himself doesn't know. Only the Father knows.

The Final Judgment

When the Son of Man comes in his glory with all his angels, he will sit on his royal throne.

Then the king will say to those on his left, “Get away from me! You are under God's curse. Go into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels!

Don't you know that I could ask my Father, and he would at once send me more than twelve armies of angels?
