Angel Encounters

Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

What Do Angels Look Like?

Jesus said in Luke 20:34-36 that resurrected people "neither marry nor are given in marriage; for neither can they die anymore, for they are like the angels." It doesn't say that we will become angels, but that we will be like them in that they don't marry or die.

  • In the Old Testament, they often appeared as men (Gen. 19), as well as in the New Testament (Mark 16:5).
  • Heb. 13:2 tells us that some have entertained angels without even knowing it.
  • They can appear in glory and brightness (Luke 2:9)
  • or can be invisible (Num. 22:22-35, 2 Kings 6:15-17).
  • Angels can also appear in dreams (Matt. 2:13,19), but they always appear for a purpose, either to give a message or to give aid.
  • Their bodies are not made of flesh and bones (Luke 24:36-39),
  • but they have knees and tongues (Phil. 2:10-11) and hands (Matt. 4:6).
