When Were Angels Created?

The Bible tells us exactly on which days of creation week that light, dry land, sea creatures, and man were created … but it doesn’t say when angels were created.

Now, we know they were created by God. The Bible says God created all things—including all things invisible—and principalities and powers.

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 on which day angels were created. But it’s likely it was on either day one or day three. But what we do know for sure is that God made all things—in six days.
