Angels: Guardians with Unwavering Access

Angels assigned to little children, and metaphorically to all believers, possess the unique ability to intercede before God, ensuring their charges are protected from dangers. These angels hold continual access to God's throne, allowing them to report threats and advocate for those they guard. The Greek present tense used suggests an ongoing action—implying that angels may either be actively present on earth looking out for their charges or perpetually in God's presence in heaven. This presents a complex understanding of their role; whether they can intercede effectively while also needing to defend their charges on earth remains an unresolved tension.
