What the Bible Actually Says

“Jesus Loves the Little Children”: Jesus, Children & the Fiercest Guardian Angels (Matthew 18:10)


Listen Later

What if guardian angels weren’t just comforting symbols… but cosmic warriors stationed in heaven’s throne room?

In this awe-filled episode of What the Bible Actually Says, Dr Tyson Putthoff opens one overlooked verse in Matthew 18:10—and watches the heavens split wide open. Jesus says the “little ones” have angels who continually behold the face of God. But in ancient Jewish thought, that wasn’t poetic language. It meant those children were guarded by the most elite beings in the cosmos—beings of flame and lightning, the face-gazers of heaven, the Angelic Guard of the Throne.

These aren’t background angels. These are the heavyweights—the ones who stand closest to God’s blazing glory, who carry out divine justice, and who report directly to the King. In the ancient world, even most angels didn’t get to “see the face” of God. But Jesus says children’s angels do. That’s not just sweet—it’s staggering. It means the most overlooked humans on earth are assigned the most powerful beings in heaven.
