The answer
God’s original plan was to create a kingdom with citizens who partake of the goods of that kingdom prepared for His holy creation. Our Lord Jesus Christ tells us, “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. Then the King will say to those on His right hand: ‘Come you blessed, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world’” (Matt. 25:31, 34).
This would not be experienced by force, but through the freedom of our will when the true believer joins the ranks of the exalted spiritual beings. Scripture confirms that “God created man a little lower than the angels” (Ps. 8:5). But after the fall, the angels responded to God’s love for humanity by bringing them divine messages for their benefit that humanity may repent and return to God.
