Summary

When most of us think of angels, we picture these figures of light, wearing white with enormous wings on their back. Most people believe that they have a personal guardian angel. We also assume that angels come in a couple of varieties: archangels, standard and fat little babies with wings. When an angel falls it becomes a demon, right? But are any of these assumptions biblical? What the Bible says about these supernatural helpers might surprise you. Diane also shares her own personal encounter with a possible angel.
