Sixthly, Dost thou fear God? He hath given charge to the armies of Heaven to look after, take charge of, to camp about, and to deliver thee. The Angel of the Lord encampeth about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Psal. 34.7. This also is a privilege entailed to them, that, in all generations fear the Lord. The Angel, the heavenly creatures have it in commission to take the charge of them that fear the Lord, one of them is able to slay of men in one night 185000. These are they that camped about Elisha like horses of fire, and chariots of fire when the enemy came to destroy him. They also helped Hezekiah against the band of the enemy, because he feared God. 2 King. 6.17. Isa. 37.36. Jer. 26.19.
