Revelation 22:1 ¶And he shewed me a pure river of water of
life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the
Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the
river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits,
and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and
of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle,
neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they
shall reign for ever and ever.
6 ¶And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true:
and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants
the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings
of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had
heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which
shewed me these things.
My
highlghted verses: 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not:
for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
[9] Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
The angel makes it perfectly
clear that he is "one of us"
who has lived in the flesh,
from among our brethren the prophets.

Angel Is One of Us!!!!"
He is a fellowservant and he lets us know that he is living
testimony to keeping the sayings of this book,
to being a "doer" of what Christ just said in verse 7,
"...blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."
However, the main point being emphasized by the angel is this: We are never to worship angels!
And now that you know who they
are,
the angel is saying
"We
are never to worship each other",
whether
we are in our flesh bodies or
whether we are in our spiritual bodies, i.e.
angels.
Worship only God.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
