12 LEGIONS OF ANGELS
11/22/23
Matthew 26:53-54 Jesus could have called on his Father to prevent the mob from arresting him and eventually crucifying him by sending 12 legions of angels , that is 72,000 angels. Earlier in the garden of Gethsemane Jesus asked the Father to, “ let this cup pass from me” , but 12 legions of angels did not appear. If Jesus was asking to not go to the cross then why didn't God send the angels ? It is because that is not what Jesus was asking. Jesus was asking for relief from the Satanic attack that he felt would kill him. Matthew 26:38 God did send one angel to strengthen Jesus, to end this attack, Luke 22:43 then Jesus told Peter, Matthew 26:56 , these things must be to fulfill the scriptures. Jesus made a statement before these events in John 12:27 , at no time did Jesus want to avoid the cross but actually Jesus had the exact opposite mind set, Hebrews 12:2 , for the joy set before him he endured the cross despising the shame and is now at the right hand of God.
