The evidence for the creation of angels. Can we know how they were created? why did God create them? and the timing for such creation.

The truth of angels' existence

Firstly, the logical evidence, when we say in the law of faith, what’s seen and what can’t be seen, we do mean the unseen beings, the angels. Since, nothing is impossible for God and His unlimited power, he can create a spirit united with a non-dense flesh who are the angels.
Secondly, the evidence of the scripture. In the Old Testament, (Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord.) (JOB1:6). In the New Testament, (Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.) (LUKE1:11)
(And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven.) (MATTHEW28:2)

The creation of angels

Angels are created beings, because, all the beings are created except God, because He is the First cause of all of the creatures. (For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him) (COLOSSIANS 1:16). 
Neither the Holy Bible, nor, the fathers of the church mentioned the way in which angels were created. ( Saint Basil of Caesarea said, the mode of the creation of the Heavenly powers is passed over in silence, for the historians of the cosmogony has revealed to us only the creation of things perceptible by sense). 
But do thou, who hast Power from the things that are seen to form an analogy of the Unseen, glorify the maker by whom all things were made, visible and invisible, Principalities and powers, authorities, thrones, and dominions, and all other reasonable Natures whom we cannot name.  

The reason behind the creation of angels

God is perfect in all His attributes so, He definitely does not need any other. But only For His love and goodness, He wanted to spread out the goodness out side His Godly Divine so, He decided to create angels.
John Chrysostom says, in his explanation for the saying of Saint Paul the messenger ( The divine nature knows no want. And therefor, then would He have us praise and Glorify Him? it is that our love towards Him may be kindled more frequently within us.)
He desires nothing we can render; not our service, nor our praise, nor any other thing. But, our salvation; this is His object in every thing He does. And he who praises and marvels at the grace displayed towards Him self will thus be more devoted and more earnest.
Saint Gregory theologian says, the goodness should be poured and spread out God’s divine to multiply those whom get His favors so, God thought firstly in the creation of Heaven hosts.

The time for creating angels

The Holy Bible did not mention the time for creating angels. But, from the written, we Can prove that God created them before the material creature when God said to Job, ( Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? tell me if you have understanding. Who determined its measurement? surely you know! or what stretched The line upon it? to what were its foundations fastened? or who laid its corner stone, When the morning stars sang together and all of the sons of God shouted for joy?) (JOB 38:4-7)
