THE DESTINY OF SPIRITS.

THE COMMISSION OF GUARDIAN ANGELS.
According to the Will of God there are always two guardian angels assigned to each human when they are born, in order to protect them from harm and to assist in the creation of their spirits to become faithful servants of God whilst on earth, pending a resurrection to  immortal spirit life in the heavenly realm of  God. (Gen 1:26. Heb 11:13-16 NEB). In accordance with their commission, it is also the Will of God that whilst one guardian angel ascends to heaven to receive Spirit instruction from The Christ Michael for the spiritual welfare of the person to whom they are assigned, the second guardian angel descends to guard and protect that faithful servant of God from any of the causes of physical and spiritual harm.

(For the principle, please read Page 8/12/91 of The Opened "Little Scroll").

THE DESTINY OF THE LORD'S SERVANTS.
It is written: "But some one will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come? You foolish man! What you sow does not come to life unless first it dies. And what you sow is not the body which is to be, but a bare kernel… God gives it a body as He has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body…There are celestial bodies (heavenly angels) and there are terrestrial bodies (earthly humans); but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another… So it is with the resurrection of the dead:  what is sown is mortal, what rises is immortal; sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; sown in weakness, it is raised in power; sown an animate body, it is raised a spiritual body. As there is an animate body, so there is a spiritual body… And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust (Adam), we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one (The Christ Michael)."

(From: 1 Cor 15:35-49 RSV, NEB, Moffatt, NWT).

This means that when the mortal body of a Godly person dies, Almighty God Jehovah gives the spirit of that one "a body as He has chosen". That spirit is set free of its fleshly body and is resurrected to inhabit the immortal spirit body God has created for them in the heavens.  (1 Cor 15:49).

THE DESTINY OF CORRUPTED ANGELS.
Guardian angels who have allowed themselves to be corrupted by satan and engage in satanic activity so as to confuse, dispirit, persecute and torment members and prospective members of the "great crowd", are thereby destined to be hurled into an abyss of blackest darkness pending the final Judgement and abandonment of them by Almighty God Jehovah.

However, before the spirit of each corrupted guardian angel is consigned to the underworld of blackest darkness, they must first be separated from the celestial heavenly "body" they once inhabited. The reason for this is that they can no longer be permitted to have the angelic powers with which they were invested when God first created them. Evidence for this is provided in the description of satan himself: "The underworld is astir to greet you, astir to meet you, rousing all the ghosts impotent in death for you, all the goatlike leaders of the earth. It has made all the kings of the nations get up from their thrones, to hail you, one and all of them, to cry to you, "So you are weak now as we are? So you fare as we fare?"... What a fall from heaven on high, O shining star of the dawn! How low and limp you lie, who once swayed all the nations! You, who once said to yourself, "I will scale the sky, I will set my throne supreme above the stars on high, I will sit on the hills of the gods in the far, far north; I will scale the cloudbanks, and rival the Most High!" And down you drop, to the world below, down to death's abyss, you go!"

(From Isaiah 14:9-15 Moffatt & NWT.  See Rev 20:1-3).
