Psalm 103:20-22 Bless the LORD, you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.… Some of the eminent doctors, in Rowland Hill's day, said that there were no such beings as angels; that they were only Oriental metaphors. "Very well," said Rowland Hill, "then it was a company of Oriental metaphors that sang at the birth of Christ, 'Glory to God in the highest.' "Angels are Oriental metaphors; then it was an Oriental metaphor that slew 185,000 of Sennacherib's army in a single night. Angels are Oriental metaphors; then it was an Oriental metaphor that appeared to Peter in prison, that knocked off his chains, and led him through the streets. "Truly," said he, "these Oriental metaphors are wonderful things!" ( C. H. Spurgeon.)
