The Film: The Prophecy and Angels
In the film, The Prophecy, starring Christopher Walkens as Gabriel, angels are depicted as spirit creatures created with the sole purpose of killing. Of course the certainty with which the movie directors have Gabriel proclaim this to a human will convince the casual moviegoer that they know what they are talking about. But for those of us who are not biblically illiterate, the question is, where do the makers of such a film get that strange idea?
True, some angels are indeed shown to be assigned a killing role n the Bible. For example, the angel involved in the last plague on Egypt where all the firstborn Egyptians were slain, is called the destroyer. Then we have the angel that was sent to deliver Israel from the hands of the Assyrians. Then we have the angels sent to Sodom and Gommorah who seem to he involved in its destruction.
But these are not the only things which angels are described as doing. Below are a brief list of other responsibilities.
Psalms 91:11 - For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Hebrews 1:14 - Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Psalms 34:7 - The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Revelation 19:10 - And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Matthew 24:31 - And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 18:10 - Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Notice that unlike the angels described in the film, who constantly and contempuously refer to huma,s as mere monkeys, the angels described in the Bible gladly help mankind to serve God.
They also cooperate in the saving of mankind by supporting God's plan for salvation via Jesus. For example, a host of angels appeared to shepherds announcing his birth.
As Luke 2:13-14
"Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests'."
The Law of Moses is said to have been transmitted through angels.
Galatians 3:19
“The word spoken by ANGELS was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward.”
Hebrews 2:2
“Wherefore then serves the Law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by ANGELS in the hand of a mediator”
“The word spoken by ANGELS was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward.”
Hebrews 2:2
“Wherefore then serves the Law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by ANGELS in the hand of a mediator”

Since this is so, where exactly do these people get the idea that angels are obsessive killers get ts idea from? Is it by reading only about certain moments when angels were used to execute justice and reaching a generalization based on scanty evidence? Or is simply a total disrespect for what the Bible teaches? There is a noticeable agenda to spread the unbiblical evolution idea by having Angels refer to humans constantly a mere monkeys. That in itself should speak volumes about the attitude that the film directors have towards biblical accuracy. Whatever might be the case, the message to the moviegoer is the same. The creator is a type of God who creates heavenly creatures with the sole purpose of killing.
Then movie has Gabriel declare that God is on some kind of vacation and has left everything, including mankind, in the hands of these sadistivcally inclined killers. In short, the film serves the Satanic purpose of defaming God's personality and of weakening or destroying the faith of those who might take its explanations as being justifiable.
