Are There Female Angels In The Bible???  |
|
I posted this question in another forum and got 72 responses. Very interesting comments were left. To begin with I totally understand that Angels, more than likely, have no gender (such as we know it) but that's not the question. Here's the verse we are discussing at the Y place lol. "Then I looked up--and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like that of a stork, and they lifted the basket between heaven and earth" (Zechariah 5:9). What's your thoughts. Interesting don't you think.

1. stephcjh (10636) | 3 months ago | I'm sure there are all kinds of angels in the Bible. i have never read the whole Bible so I could not tell you for sure. I think there are all kinds of angels among us though. I really don't think they have a specific gender either.

3. Modestah (7281) | 3 months ago | this is how mine reads: And I said: What is it? And he said: This is a vessel going forth. And he said: This is their eye in all the earth. And behold a talent of lead was carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel. And he said: This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. And I lifted up my eyes and looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the heaven. And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel? 6 "This is their eye"... This is what they fix their eye upon: or this is a resemblance and figure of them, viz., of sinners. I really do not know what to make of it. I do not know if the two are figures of angels of God or not. then consider the verse that follows And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis. "The land of Sennaar"... Where Babel or Babylon was built, Gen. 11., where note, that Babylon in holy writ is often taken for the city of the devil: that is, for the whole congregation of the wicked: as Jerusalem is taken for the city and people of God.

gtargirl (658) | 3 months ago | True, the women carried the basket to Babylon (modern day Iraq I believe). The basket carried the sins of the people and that's where they brought it to. Okay, wait, this goes soooo much deeper. Such a simple question, such a vision. It's a great study don't you think? Thanks for your input, Modestah. Now you've got me thinking even more.

4. grecychunny26 (2715) | 3 months ago | I am not sure, i have this little knowledge about this. I think the angels have no gender. They will be called in any names like if you used names of a woman or a man but they have no gender . Maybe Zechariah seen female angel because it is reflected as female so it is, but i think they have no gender.

5. chazh9 (160) | 3 months ago | Well the angel that appeared to Mary must have been male because the account of the encounter mentions that the angel "came in unto Mary". Sounds to me like the winged one was carrying God's sperm.

|
Modestah (7281) | 3 months ago | eh? And the angel being come in, said unto her:....... And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Mary Conceived her Divine Son by God, the Holy Ghost, (not an angel)

| 6. kilimanjaro80 (66) | 3 months ago | ithink angels dont have their gender but are generally depicted as being lovely beings to behold,so the prophet could assume them to be women,also the bible talks of the church as women so i can say that in this particular verse the prohet is talking about the church.thanks.

|
|
gtargirl (658) | 3 months ago | That is an interesting take on things. But the female beings had a basket, which apparently was filled with the sins of the people and they brought it to Babylon. Mmmm. It's been a while since I started this discussion. I should probably read it again.

7. carmelanirel (4619) | 3 months ago | I don't believe angels are male or female even though the angels do have male names, I don't think it means they are actually male..
| |
| |
|
|
gtargirl (658) | 3 months ago | It does seem that most (if not all) angels have male names. But speaking of names, in the book of Judges an angel appears to Manoah (Samson's father to be). Manoah asks the angel "What is your name?" The angel answers, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding."

8. clrumfelt (779) | 3 months ago | There are not many angels mentioned by name in the Bible. There are Michael and Gabriel, and then there is Lucifer, who rebelled against God and became Satan. In Revelation there is an angel of the bottomless pit metioned whose name is Abaddon(Hebrew name) or Apollyon(Greek name) which means destrution. We know from the scriptures that there are legions of angels, but besides those four I don't know any of their names. I think angels are pictured in art works as females because we think of them as nurturing and protective beings. Angels are our helpers and can appear in whatever form would be most helpful at the time, is my thought on the matter.

gtargirl (658) | 3 months ago | I totally agree, my friend. Angels appear in whatever form would be most helpful at the time. I would imagine that is why a lot of us probably aren't aware that we have come across one. And "poor" Abaddon is still chained at the bottom of the Euphrates waiting to be released to destroy again. Now there's another study.

9. winterose (11513) | 3 months ago | quite an interesting discussion. I did not know of any female angels in the bible, only men came to mind but this is great stuff to know that women are represented somewhere.

10. raditsa421 (289) | 3 months ago | There is no female angels that can be found in the bible, old and new testament. The bible says all angels are been created males by God.
| |
| |
|
|
gtargirl (658) | 3 months ago | Are you sure God ceated angels as male? I would venture to say that He created them genderless. Where in the Bible does it say He created them male? Nonetheless, this discussion was just trying to figure out the scripture in Zechariah. However, if you do know of a scripture that says God created angels male I would love to read it. Thanks, my friend.
