"Re: about female angels"


 

Doves, Pastor Cole and lilly Star,
This subject about female angels is intriguing. Not attempting nor intending to be contentious, but I must attempt to dissuade from this. Nowhere is the term "angel" connected to a female form in the bible IMHO. If we look at the context over the preceding and following chapters of Zec. 5, we see that some significant references are made.
" BRANCH  " VS. 3:8 & 6:12-13, is undoubtedly the King and Saviour Jesus, and the promise of gathering the remnant and bringing them back to the land and taking away their sin. References are made to the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel." Fig tree" is said to reference Israel." Vine" can be Jesus the "True Vine" or Judah as the source.Bringing back or graphing back into the true vine nationally and redeemed is implied The two women with wings of a stork with "wind" in their wings can be symbolic of "all Israel"being" scattered like in the "wind" to all corners of the earth, where the Lord will eventually bring them back from, and bring under the fig tree and the vine( vs.3:10). "Storks" in heaven(s) know by instinct their times , but Israel does not know the Lord's timing. Jer. 8:7)
The two women suspending the talent of lead symbolizing wickedness can also be seen as the two harlots, Judah and israel, (Ez.6, 16) who commit whoredoms and abominations with the nations and their gods.
Even as i believe in the literal interpretation of scripture, we cannot ignore Prophetic symbology that angels present from The Lord and in which the prophets behold.
Since angels otherwise mentioned are always male and are never mentioned as having wings, we must conclude other possibilities. We must know the terminology of the Spirit's Prophecies, their significance and symbolic implications, and their cross reference applications, I believe.  

On truth's path
