On the link above it mentions Psalms 103:20-21 which states: “Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!”
What I have noticed in the verse is that it mentions that the angels must bless the Lord, and I don’t see how this can have anything to do with intercession?

Also, in Psalms 148:2 it states " Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his host ".

It seems as if David is telling the Angels to praise the Lord, and I don’t see how this scripture has anything to do with praising the Saints, because in verse 3 it states " praise him, sun and moon, and all you shining stars!" So are we suppose to also ask the moon to interceed for us? (Ofcorse that was sarcasm). I am just very confused, can anyone please explain these scriptures to me and how it has to do with intercession. Thanks and God Bless!
 
PRAISE ye our Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
all ye heavenly spirits praise God for the excellency of your nature.
Praise ye him all his Angels: praise ye him all his hosts:
And for your innumerable multitude.
Praise ye him Sun and Moon: praise him all ye stars, and light.
all creatures, wanting sense or reason, show forth the Majesty and excellency of their Creator.
Praise him ye heavens of heavens: and the waters that are above the heavens, let them praise the name of our Lord
  • Psalm 148:1-5, Original Douai-Rheims
Our Lord hath prepared his seat in heaven: and his kingdom shall have dominion over all.
Bless our Lord all ye his Angels: mighty in power, doing his word, that fear the voice of his words.
Bless our Lord all ye his hosts: you his ministers, that do his will.
Bless ye our Lord all his works: in every place of his dominion, my soul bless thou our Lord.
*All creatures, though naturally senseless, yet praise God, because they are his work,
and because they are in his dominion.

*- Psalm 102:19-22, Original Douai-Rheims

Commentary in italics.

Now here is the emphasis which should be read in bold.

Our Lord hath prepared his seat in heaven: and his kingdom shall have **dominion **over all.
Bless our Lord all ye his Angels: mighty in power, doing his word, that fear the voice of his words.
Bless our Lord all ye his hosts: you his ministers, that do his will.
Bless ye our Lord all his works: in every place of his dominion, my soul bless thou our Lord.

I still do not see how it has anything to do with intercession :confused:
