Can Angels Die?
Answer: If angels had bodies like people do, they would die, just like people do. But angels don’t have bodies.
They’re spiritual beings, which means that they have no flesh or blood. Angels are spirits, invisible to us but still very real.
Angels aren’t born, either-they’re created. Because angels don’t have bodies, they can’t grow old and die.
But at the final judgment after the world ends, God will destroy Satan and the bad angels (see Revelation 20:11-14).
Key verse: [People] will never die again. In these ways they are like angels and are sons of God. For they are raised up in new life from the dead. (Luke 20:36)

Why Did An Angel Come To Mary?
Answer: An angel came to Mary to tell her God’s message-God wanted Mary to know that she would be the mother of Jesus, God’s Son.
When Mary heard the news, she was frightened, but she was also very happy.
More than anything, she wanted to obey God. And she felt very honored to be Jesus’ mother.

Note to parents: This is a good time to let your children know that God is able to show them his plan for their lives.
God’s plan probably won’t be announced by an angel, but God will tell it to them when they seek him.
Why Was There An Angel And A Fiery Sword Guarding The Entrance To The Garden Of Eden?
Answer: An angel stood at the entrance to the Garden of Eden to keep Adam and Eve from going back in.
God had sent them out of the Garden because they had sinned. Because they disobeyed God, they would never be allowed to live in Eden again.
Key verse: God expelled [Adam]. And God placed mighty angels at the east of the Garden of Eden.
They stood with a flaming sword to guard the entrance to the Tree of Life. (Genesis 3:24)
