What the Bible says about Blessing God's Name
(From Forerunner Commentary)
|
The angel says they "stand beside the Lord of the whole earth." This is a neat way of saying that they serve God—whether as priests, prophets, ministers, or apostles (Deuteronomy 10:8; 18-6-7; I Kings 17:1; 18:15; II Kings 3:14; 5:16; Jeremiah 15:19). Not only are they ministering to or serving God, but they are also called to bless His name—or to bless in His name, which is a little bit different. All things considered, they are conduits for Him, doing His work on earth. They do things in His name at His command. Richard T. Ritenbaugh
