Angels Around Us
 |
| Angels often appear as human men of God. |
The Bible records many wonderful appearances of angels unto
Godly people, and we wonder why we do not see angels here on earth more
often.
In the Old Testament, angels often appeared as men and did
not look any different than everyone else. Other times they appeared with wings.
Perhaps angels have been with us, and we did not realize at
times we may have seen angels unawares.
The Angel of the Lord
appeared to Hagar and gave her encouragement and a prophesy in Genesis chapter
16 and also in chapter 21.
The Angel of the Lord
spoke to Abraham from heaven in Genesis chapter 22.
Jacob was spoken to in a dream as an angel appeared to him.
In Exodus, Moses saw a burning bush and the Angel of the Lord spoke to him out of
the fire. Exodus 3.
As the Children of Israel left Egypt
The Angel of the Lord
with a huge sword, stood in front of Balaam’s ass but only the animal could see
him at first. When Balaam whipped his
donkey, the animal spoke and then God opened Balaam’s eyes to see the
angel. Numbers chapter 22
In Judges chapter 2, all the children of Israel
Judges 6, the Angel
of the Lord appeared to Gideon, but he thought it was a man. The angel instructed him to place a sacrifice
on some stones, and when the angel caused the sacrifice to be consumed by fire
Gideon realized the person was indeed an angel.
What a story in Judges 13 when the Angel of the Lord appeared to Hannah she though he was a man of God
and told her husband. When the Angel
appeared to Manoah her husband, the Angel also caused fire to consume a
sacrifice. Manoah asked, “What is your
name?” The angel replied, “Why do you
ask seeing my name is secret?”
The Angel of the Lord
appeared to Elijah in I Kings 19 and instructed him. Again in
2 Kings chapter 1, and 2 Kings 19 the Angel won the battle
over the enemies.
I Chronicles 21, King David saw the Angel of the Lord with his sword stretched out over Jerusalem
The Angel of the Lord
shut the lion’s mouths when Daniel was cast into the lions den. Daniel 6
The Angel Gabriel
appeared to Mary announcing she was chosen to bear the Messiah.
Understand that because angels often look like anyone else,
you may have indeed seen angels many times.
One thing to remember is that regardless of what we see with our natural
eyes, there are always angels from God, around us protecting and guiding us.
Psalms
34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and
he delivers them from destruction.
