Whether or not He placed a single angel in charge of death or in charge of ushering us from one life to the next (which Scripture does not indicate), we need to understand that that angel’s role will become obsolete after Christ returns. ![]() We need to keep in mind, as well, that God will one day destroy death itself ( Revelation 20:14). ![]() We all will experience death, but no one single angel by the name of Azrael carries out all of the death duties, so to speak. The Grim Reaper, so to speak, does not exist in the way we have perceived it as a culture to exist. Although angels, if given the command of God, can take away a life, they will not do so unless they have received that command or if God wills it. What about the Angel of Death? Does it exist? A servant will obey whoever is in charge, not straying from commands. The Bible describes angels as God’s servants ( Psalm 103:20). If Satan, one of the most powerful angels, has to obey God, it shows us that God will not allow for our lives to be taken until the determined time. God gives him permission to wipe out Job’s family and possessions ( Job 1) and eventually Job’s health ( Job 2), but God tells Satan he cannot take away Job’s life. Satan has to go to God for permission to harm Job in any way. Let’s take a look at God’s power over the most infamous of all angels, Satan. Technically yes, but we need to keep in mind, they cannot harm a hair on our head unless God wills it. Considering the Assyrians made themselves out to be enemies of God’s people, God willed this angel to commit such a mass destruction.ĭoes This Mean That Angels and Demons Can Kill Us? When looking at Scripture, it appears angels do have a hand in some instances of death and destruction.įor instance, an angel of the Lord in 2 Kings 19:35 goes out at night and kills 185,000 Assyrians. Job makes it clear God has numbered our days, but He alone chooses when we reach the end of our life on earth ( Job 14:5). The name Azrael never appears in the Bible as well.Īlthough angels may appear to cause death in some cases in the Bible, we should make a note that no sole angel (or demon) can do so without God willing it. In Scripture, Michael appears to fight spiritual battles and carry out the commands of God, none of which seem to indicate a grim reaper role. ![]() Some say the Archangel Michael plays some role in the process from passing from this world to the next, but no Bible verse or passage supports this notion. Islam has a name for this figure, “Malak Almawt,” as do other religions such as Hinduism.ĭoes Christianity have a similar figure by a different name? Does a sole Angel of Death exist, realizing the idea of the Grim Reaper? Judaism, for instance, attributes this role to Azrael, an angel of destruction. The idea of a grim reaper has not only pervaded popular cultures, such as in books like The Book Thief and Scythe, but it has also taken a featured spot in many religions.
