Angels of Death
The angels of death in Hebrew are called malʾāḵ hamašḥīṯ (mah-lack ham-ah-shed), which means destroying angel. They’re also known as executioners or slayers. The book of Proverbs calls them the “messengers of death”
I like to call them the Police Angels.
They’re roaming around planet earth taking a good look at you watching for bad boys, bad boys, bad boys!!
And when they spot a bad guy— WHOO! Action time!
They have the authority by Heaven and by God to arrest anyone who commits a crime against humanity. Yeah, baby!
You know they love their jobs! They love all that power, all that justice, all that equality, all that protection! It totally gets them off. Police angels love their job!
And they have police dogs! If they don’t get ya’, they send their angel police dogs in—
‘Dogs will eat the body of Jezebel by the wall of the city of Jezreel. As for the family of Ahab, whoever dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and whoever dies in the fields will be eaten by birds.’ So Ahab sold himself out to do what the Lord says is evil. There is no one who did as much evil as Ahab and his wife Jezebel, who caused him to do these things.
—1 Kings 21:22-25
In 1 Kings, the angel police dogs ate the body of Jezebel, the wicked queen. And also the family of Ahab, the wicked king.
Top 3 Angel of Death Massacres of All Time
Here are the top 3 Angel of Death massacres of all time:
1. The 10th Plague of Egypt
The angels of death sprinkle a sleepy overdose of fairy powder on the first born children of all the slave owners making them die peacefully in their sleep.
Every firstborn son in Egypt will die.
—Exodus 11:5
2. Sodom and Gomorrah
The angels of death obliterate the entire Red Light District of Sodom, causing an electric fire to spread and burn down the whole city— in a giant explosion
Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah.
—Genesis 19:24
1. The Great Flood
The angels of death make it rain. At first, cuz the people were wicked, they had a wet t-shirt contest, but right in the middle of beer pong— guess what? They drowned.
I am bringing the flood upon the earth, to destroy all… everything that is on the earth shall perish.
—Genesis 6:17
Angels of Death Love Death
The angels of death A.K.A. Police Angels sit around and think of all the creative ways that wicked people can die. It’s kind of gross, but they love them sum death. Oh yeah. They. Love. Death. LUV IT!!!
They’re like, so should we….???? Kill the wicked people with a plague, or should we use poisonous frogs? Or… or…or???? I really feel like if we wanna send a message???? We should use lightning.
That’s a statement piece. I mean, like a pillar of salt.
Lot’s wife… was turned into a pillar of salt.
—Genesis 19:26
In biblical times, you can be bad… if you want to…. but you are attracting the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of angels.
So the angels of death… love…. you guessed it— They love killing the wicked! For them, it’s so fun.
