Why Did John Fall Before an Angel? | Sunday Seeds

The apostle John saw the risen Jesus Christ. So why did he fall down and worship an angel, not once, but twice? In Revelation 19:10 and Revelation 22:8–9, John falls at the feet of an angel. Both times, the angel stops him with the same command: **"Worship God."** In this episode of Sunday Seeds from Broadcasting Seeds, we examine one of the most revealing warnings in Scripture. If John, the apostle who witnessed the glory of Christ, could mistake a messenger for the one who sent him, what does that mean for Christians today? **What does the Bible really teach about angels, angel worship, and spiritual deception?** We begin with Psalm 89 and Hebrews 1, examining the heavenly council, the sons of God, and why Jesus Christ stands above every created heavenly being. Then we trace the warning through ancient Jewish writings, early Christian history, and the modern fascination with angel numbers, spirit guides, guardian angels, and even artificial intelligence that presents itself as Jesus. **IN THIS EPISODE:** - Why John worshipped an angel twice in Revelation - The difference between bowing before Jesus and bowing before an angel - Psalm 89, the heavenly council, and the sons of God - Hebrews 1 and the supremacy of Jesus Christ over all angels - The Dead Sea Scrolls and Deuteronomy 32:43 - Raphael, Metatron, and ancient accounts of angels refusing worship - Why the early Church condemned angel worship - Angel numbers, spirit guides, and modern spiritual deception - The biblical test that faithful angels consistently demonstrate - Why John recorded his own failures for future generations This message also prepares us for our new series, **THE ELOHIM**, where we will study the heavenly beings described throughout Scripture, including cherubim, seraphim, archangels, Watchers, fallen angels, and the divine council. Before we examine the beings surrounding God's throne, we must remember who sits upon it. **SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:** Revelation 1:12–18; 19:10; 22:8–9 Psalm 89:5–8 Hebrews 1 Deuteronomy 32:43 Colossians 2:18 Judges 13 Daniel 10 Isaiah 6 John 20:28 Jude 24–25 **SUPPORT BROADCASTING SEEDS** Visit our website and explore the Broadcasting Seeds store: https://broadcastingseeds.com
