"The Angel Is One of Us!!!!"

 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which
must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John: (Rev. 1:1)."

From the incredible edible Book of Revelation.
John has just returned to the Isle of Patmos
and the realization of what has just happened suddenly overcomes him.

Rev. 22:7    Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 

          Rev. 22:8 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.

We can only imagine the overwhelming impact
it must have had on John when the reality of being taken to heaven,
to the very throne of God,
and witnessing the awesome events described in this book,
finally "hit home".

And so he fell down to worship before the feet of the angel.

          [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.

Did you catch what the angel said?

This is a very revealing verse.

The angel makes it perfectly clear that he is "one of us"
who has lived in the flesh,
from among our brethren the prophets.

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,

Rev. 22:7 ...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.

          [10] And he saith unto me,
Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book:
for the time is at hand.
