Are There People Inside Of Angels?
Answer: People and angels are two different kinds of beings altogether.
There aren’t any people inside angels, nor do people become angels when they die.
In cartoons you may see people die and become angels, but that’s not what really happens. People have souls.
Our souls live forever as spiritual beings. In fact, here’s a cool secret: When we get to heaven, we will get to rule the angels!

How Many Angels Are In Heaven?
Answer: There’s a huge number. We don’t know how many angels are in heaven because the Bible doesn’t give an exact number.
But there are thousands and thousands as many as God needs.
Some people who have seen these large crowds of angels are Elisha and his servant, the shepherds at Christ’s birth, and the apostle John.

How Did Angels Get Their Wings?
Answer: Artists often paint angels as having wings, and people have written stories that describe angels as having wings or earning their wings.
But the Bible doesn’t say that all angels have wings. It does say that angels can fly and that, at times, they appear with wings.
But angels don’t need wings to fly, like birds or butterflies do. God made sure that they can get where they need to be when they need to be there.
Key verse: As I [Daniel] prayed, Gabriel flew swiftly to me. He is the angel I had seen in the earlier vision. (Daniel 9:21)
