When I read that article about strange fire, I thought about
:
too much emphasis on angels and angelic appearances
magic hair
The OP's are just as bad with the magic hair thing as the other folks are with the angel thing
but, stop and think,
angels appeared to or ministered to Zecharias (
Luke 1:11), Mary (
Luke 1:26), Joseph (
Matthew 1:20), shepherds (
Luke 2:9-13), Joseph again (
Matthew 2:13), Jesus (
Matthew 4:11), Jesus again (
Luke 22:43)women at the empty tomb (
Matthew 28:2;
Luke 24:1-9;
John 20:12), disciples on ascension day (
Acts 1:10-11), Philip (
Acts 8:26), Peter (
Acts 12:7-8), Paul (
Acts 27:23-24), John (
Rev 22:8). Evidently there was a lot of angelic activity in those early years. The writer of the Book of Hebrews speaks about angels being ministering spirits to those who are heirs of salvation (
Hebrews 1:14) and hints that we all might have angelic encounters (
Heb 12:2). So maybe seeing and interacting with angels should be expected to be more common in our day than we some times think.
