When Were The Angels Created?

The Bible never tells us exactly when angels were created . . . but it does give us some clues.

The Bible says God created all things—including things invisible—and principalities and powers. So angels aren’t eternal like God. They were created by him.

But when?

Well, the book of Job describes the angels celebrating when God laid the foundations of the earth. That was either on day one, when God created the earth, or day three, when God created the dry land.

We can’t know for sure which day angels were created on. But it’s likely it was on day one—and definitely before day four. What we do know for sure is that God made all things in six days.
