John just saw Jesus take the book out of the Father's hand, because he was the only one worthy to do it and open the seals.


Rev 5:11
11    And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;


Next thing that happened was that when Jesus did this all those that were around the throne voices could be heard.

This included the living creatures that gaurd the throne and the elders who sit in thrones themselves around the Father's throne.

Then there is another group there and there is many thousands of them and all of their voices can be heard also. Which is a big number of angels.

Now we have studied about Angels before, and we know there are good angels and bad angels as it is written. Rev 12

We know there are arc angels that the Father sends to earth as it is written Gabriel is the one that is sent with messages from God.

We know that angels are also called the sons of God as it is written in Gen 6. We also know that these sons of God left heaven to come to earth because they saw the women that were being born to Adam.

We know because these angels left heaven and came to earth that the Father saw the evil and corruption they brought to earth, so he cleaned the earth with the flood of Noah. We also know that these angels that left heaven and came to earth are in chains right now as it is written in Jude.

We also know that some angels that are sent to talk to humans were humans their selves and lived in the flesh as it is written in Rev 22:9.

We also know that Jesus chose to be born in the flesh because all of God's children had to be born in the flesh as it is written Hebrew 2:14.

We also know that all humans ever born or will be born are all the sons of God and his children, because he created each and everyone of them. We know that number is around 7 billion and now let us look at the number of angels around the throne. It is only tens of thousands and maybe even 100's of thousands. But that is a drop in the bucket to the number of children the Father created.

So now we know what the bible means by the path is very narrow and only a few will be in the kingdom of God.

1 Pet 4:17    For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18    And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Matt 7:14     Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

There is alot more that we learned and have studied about angels, about where we were before we were put into our mothers belly's.

For anyone that hasn't studied the Word, which answers all questions that we need to know and understand. Do you think that you came into being at conception of your flesh?

I hope you know the Father is way above that, and there are many places in the Word that tell us he knew people before they were born in the flesh. Like Esau which he hated, even before he was put in the belly of his mother, as it is written.

Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil....)

Rom 9:13    As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.


Another example is Jeremiah who the Father knew before he was in his mothers belly and had told him he would be a prophet on earth, as it is written.

Jer 1:5    Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

So these angels we see are a very small number compared to all of God's Children and how sad it is for Him!
