before everything else?
Many scholars believe Job refers to them existing before creation
Everywhere in the Old Testament the existence of angels is assumed. The creation of angels is referred to in
Psa_148:2,
Psa_148:5 (compare
Col_1:16). They were present at the creation of the world, and were so filled with wonder and gladness that they “shouted for joy” (
Job_38:7).
