1.I have heard that mentioned somewhere in the bible God curses a man to walk the Earth until he returns..is this fictional mumbo jumbo that has no merit or is this really mentioned?

2.The Bible says to entertain strangers as they could be angels walking among us.I wonder if we have met one once and didnt know it..what do you think,think you have met one?

3.Man of god spoken of in I Kings who was later cursed and died,does the bible give this man or angels identity?

4.Revelation 9:7-11 speaks of Abbadon who reigns terror on Earth during tribulation.Is this Satans right hand fallen angel or Satan himself?

Hey Shanobop,

I was just considering point 2, have we ever met an angel and not known it?

I remember when I was a kid, primary school age, and we (my sister and brother) were doing what we could to help dad, build an extension onto the house, to be honest we were probably more of a hinderance than a help .

But we were all chipping in anyhow, when dad suddenly fell to the floor and had some sort of seizure (yeah i know it's not spelt right ), well you can imagine the panic of three kids watching their dad going pale, and struggling to breathe, my sister shouted "Go and get help" so I ran as fast as I could up the road to the house where I knew a missionary lived, I banged on the door and the lady missonary came to the door. I'm not really sure what I said it was a long time ago, but there was alot of crying and screaming, "Daddy's dying", I can't remember if the missionary began to follow me to the house, but as I ran from her house towards my own, a small car pulled up and two ladies dressed in nurses uniforms stepped out saying that "they had taken a wrong turn and wondered if I could help," you can imagine the relief that came over me, all I could say was something along the lines of "My daddy's dying." Well, one nurse ran with me to the house and quickly began working on dad, and the other rang for an ambulance, dad is still alive today because two nurses seemingly took a wrong turn.

Were they angels............I don't know, to this day we still don't know who those two nurses were, but if they weren't angels, and just two nurses who took a wrong turn, then I am certain God Almighty directed that loss of direction, for had they not turned up at that precise moment, my dad would certainly have died, of that there is no question, he was choking to death due to the seizure.

Was it a coincidence?...............If it was, it was one huge coincidence.

Is this what you are thinking of:

Gen. 4

8 Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

10 He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground.

11 "Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

12 "When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth."

13 Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is too great to bear!

14 "Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

15 So the LORD said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold " And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him.

16 Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

3.Man of god spoken of in I Kings who was later cursed and died,does the bible give this man or angels identity?

Nope.

You can read about it here: 1 Kings 13
