Collectible Angel Figurines: Symbols of Heaven's Messengers
Angel figurines have a rich history, as well as a special meaning for each collector of angel figurines, depending on his or her spiritual beliefs. In The Bible, angels are God's messengers. They delivered news of great joy or judgment and the warning of a need for repentance. An angel delivered Lot and his family from certain death while bringing down a hailstorm of fire and brimstone to devour the occupants of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Angels have varying duties. Some praise God and his word. Some are great heavenly warriors who fight against the forces of evil. Yet other angels have the task of watching over their human wards, keeping people safe from harm. Collectors of angel figurines are often intrigued by this contrast of the gentle protector and mighty warrior capable of great destruction. Many people take comfort in knowing that angels watch over their lives. |
