God Decreed and
Chose to Gave Eternal Grace,
to Some Angels
and
By GOD'S OWN POWER and WILL
GOD Also Gave Eternal Grace
to confirm Some Angels
in the Sinless State
in which they were Created.
...
These are
The Chosen Elect Angels
of Our
ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD.
...adapted from Gill.
These Elect Angels
are said to be
“mighty”,
and to
“excel in strength”;
and
These Elect Angels
not only
“excel in" natural "strength",
but
These Elect Angels
are said to “excel in" Spiritual
"strength".
...
Those are
The Chosen Elect Angels
of Our
ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD.
...
There are Other Angels
Created by God,
who Were NOT Chosen or "Elected",
to Receive God's Grace.
...
Our
ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD
Decreed by His Own Will to
NOT Give Confirming Grace,
but
God Decreed by His Own Will,
FROM ETERNITY PAST,
to Deny Confirming Grace,
to
Other Angels Created by God,
who Were NOT Chosen or "Elected",
to Receive God's Grace.
...
To others, He Decreed not to Give Confirming Grace,
but to deny it to them;
...
and which He was not obliged to Give,
it being what could not be challenged
by the laws and dues of Creation,
and was mere Favor to those on whom it was Bestowed;
...
wherefore the others were left to the mutability of their will,
which is that weakness and folly the Angels were Chargeable
within their Creation State,
(Job 4:18)
hence of their own freewill they sinned and fell,
and left their habitation,
(2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6)
what their sin was by which they fell,
will be considered in course,
when we come to the fall of Adam,
and of theirs;
...
this leads on to observe the other part of the Decree respecting them.
...
1.3.1b. The appointment of them to Wrath and Damnation;
...
in this they were viewed as sinful, fallen creatures;
...
this decree is meant by their being “Reserved in Everlasting Chains under darkness,
unto The Judgment of The Great Day”,
(Jude 1:6; 2 Peter 2:4)
for by Chains are meant the Purposes and Decrees of God,
by which they are Bound and Held Fast,
and from which they cannot loose themselves;
...
and as The Decrees of God are called “Mountains of Brass”,
(Zech. 6:1)
so they may be called chains of iron and brass for the same reasons;
...
namely, their Firmness, Mutability, and Duration;
...
they are “Everlasting” Chains, and in these, they are Reserved under Darkness;
...
meaning either the state of darkness in which they are,
being deprived of that Light and knowledge they had;
...
and also being under horror and black despair,
without the least gleam of the light of joy and comfort;
...
or that state of darkness to which they are Appointed and Reserved,
even that “Blackness of Darkness” to which the wandering stars,
as these may be said to be, are Reserved,
(Jude 1:13)
and moreover, they are Appointed and Reserved
“to The Judgment of The Great Day”,
to The Great Day of The Last Judgment; when they will be brought forth in Chains before the Judgment Seat of Christ, and will have their Final Sentence Passed and Executed on them, which as yet seems not to have been done, (Matthew 8:29) then Will Christ Sit on The Throne of Judgment, and saints will stand by, together with the good angels, as approvers of the Righteous Sentence: and therefore saints are said to “judge angels”, as well as the world of the ungodly, (1 Cor. 6:2, 3) that is, the evil angels, to which Judgment they are Appointed by The Decree of God; and to Endure Eternal Wrath and Damnation; signified by “Everlasting Fire, Prepared”, in The Decrees and Purposes of God, “for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41).
