The Bible describes angels as mighty beings, often compared to strong horses, depicted in various passages as fearless and powerful servants of God.
The Bible portrays angels as immense in strength and courage, often likening them to horses of great might. In Job 39:19-24, God's creation of the horse is detailed, showcasing its strength and fearlessness. Similarly, angels are called mighty ones who are unafraid, like horses going into battle. This metaphor underscores their role as powerful protectors and warriors who serve God's purposes without fear.
Additionally, angels are instrumental in carrying out God's will on earth, akin to how horses bear burdens and perform service. They support and carry the saints as they journey through life, exemplifying their usefulness in God's providence (2 Kings 2:11-12). Thus, the comparison to horses highlights their strength, utility, and divine mission in the world.
