7 Angels witness against sin by the constant opposition they make against wicked Angels, and wicked men: Who would abuse their charge, that is good and holy men: good men are committed to the charge of good Angels; He gives his Angels charge to keep them in all their ways, Psa. 91.11. and the Angels are ministering spirits for the good of them that shall be heirs of salvation, Hebr. 1.14. They encamp round about them that fear the Lord, Psa. 34.7. And when wicked men or devils would hurt this their charge, they rise up in their might, Dan. 10.20. Gabriel and Michael join against the Prince of Persia, Rev. 12.7. Michael and his Angels fought against the Dragon, and his Angels, and overcame. When Balaam hankered after the wages of unrighteousness, to curse Israel, the Angel of the Lord withstood him, Numb. 22.32. Thus by their protection of the good, they show their detestation of sin in them that would touch Gods Anointed, or do his Prophets harm.
