Questions Coriaken - "It is not for you to know what sins a star can commit."
 * When were they made?
 * Can the good ones now still fall?
 * Can the bad ones now return?

Phys Ideas (from Nathan's intuition and some verses)
 * Probably made at a particular time (don't have infinite pasts)
 * Are time-bound - Eph 3:10 during JC life and via Church God reveals his purposes to the "rulers and authorities in the heavenly realm". So probably all angels, demons, and Sata don't know the future directly, via via bible and prediction and whatnot.
 * Have limited faculties (calculation, vision (not into future), power) but are powerful 1 Pet 1:12 angels long to know time of 2nd coming, 2 Pet 2:11 more powerful than us
 * Can appears as human (e.g. Lot), but can be very scary (appear to Mary, Baalam, etc)
 * Can be invisible (Elisha open eyes of servant 2 King 6:17, Baalam Num 22:31)
 * Cannot die Luke 20:36

Theo ideas (from Nathan too) Practical/Fx
 * God could, maybe, treat angels like humans but have already perfected the angels (their 2nd coming already happened). That could work.
 * We are created a little lower than the angels, yet we will judge them. I have some issue with being too similar to angels (then why would God have made both), unless angels are just previous generations of earth - which is... eh. "Be like the angels in heaven" is said by JC in reference to not being married.
 * Angels are for us Heb 1:14 "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?"
 * Angels encamp around those who fear God, guard. Ps 34:7, 91:11
 * Angels guard children Mat 18:10

Particular angels and systems
 * Gabriel
 * Dan 8:16, 9:21
 * Luke 1:19 (Zech), 2:26 (Mary)
 * Lucifer/Satan
 * Michael
 * Dan 10:13,21 detained prince of Persia, Michael is one of the chief princes
 * Dan 12:1 seems to protect Israel in particular?

 * Prince of Persia, Prince of Greece (Daniel 10:20)

 * Exod 14:19 represents Gods spirit, pillar of fire
 * Guardian angel: Gen 48:16, Exod 23:20, Ps 91:11/Luke 4:10

 * 2 Pet 2:11 more powerful than us
