Yes pretty much, in fact he told them to be ready to kill people if need be.
Oh, and those pretty benevolent angels you hear about? They always had to tell people "do not be afraid" because most angels of that time conducted massive manslaughter like it was a joke
I don't have a clue where you got our information, But it is wrong wrong wrong. Jesus died on the cross because God so LOVED the world that he gave his only son to die so we shall have everlasting life. Now I am a pretty smart, intelligent person, But I have never met you before now so I have no idea how intelligent you are, So I will ask you because for the life of me I can not think of one reason why Jesus would tell us of such a loving forgiving God, and teach us of that great love and about God and even die for that trust in God and his word, And then teach us Or tell us to KIll in His honor. I don't , can't and will never buy that. The angels you speak of are Gods children, Gods army, They love and serve God, On heaven and earth they gave their lives to Christ so that they would dwell in God's kingdom,FOREVER. They do God's work, They do not do no harm ever, They are doing God's will and God does not commit manslaughter, massive or otherwise. God made you and if he decides it is your time then God is never wrong, But God does not punish!! I have had several occasions where I have been helped, Guided and saved by Angels. They are a wonderful way to spread God's word, And God can teach you, support you, help you, show you, comfort you, and touch you through angels. Angels are very important and have important jobs to fufill, I can't tnink of a more important boss or job Than God and his work, Always a pleasure.
