Ever wonder how come we don't see angels?

Question

They used to float in and float out in biblical times. Not any more, though???

I know the term "floating in and out" isn't biblically correct, folks. But on the other hand, not ever having seen one, I don't know if they do appear.or disappear.

Answer 1

We are not so gullible these days.
Well - some of us still are!!! Such a shame.

Answer 2

Angels do come. Many people have seen them. God only sends angels on earth if necessary, not to impresss anyone. Also, angels are all around us at every moment, but so are demons. Some people even have the gift of seeing these spirits. But they are here.

Answer 3

The Angels are still around, but due to peoples attitudes and beliefs, they work more covertly now, as invisible guides.... To those who say they do not exist, many soldiers on battlefields will say different !... I have nurtured my contact with them, although they rarely appear, i still know when they are around me..... for those that want proof, ask them, they are happy to oblige, next time u are out and about, going around and around looking for a carpark space, ask the Angels for help, or ask before you go out, they can help.... Angels are my friends, and i am thank-full for that !
Blessings

Answer 4

"float in and float out" in biblical time? Would you please tell me where you found that in the bible?

As for not seeing angels, maybe you are not looking in the right place. Angels are messengers from God; God who is spirit.

Answer 5

There are people then and now who claim to see angels all the time. The only difference is that people back then were more gullible and less informed than they are now, and more likely to believe fantastic stories about mythical creatures "seen" by others.

Answer 6

Speak for yourself, buddy! I've seen quite a few angels in my day. They tend to look just like humans, except they have an angelic love and compassion.

Answer 7

Because they don't exist, in the Biblical times people talked of dragons and unicorns too.

Answer 8

Angels are a medium of God's power; they exist to execute God's will. Angels reveal themselves to individuals as well as to the whole nation, to announce events, either bad or good, affecting humans. Angels foretold to Abraham the birth of Isaac, to Manoah the birth of Samson, and to Abraham the destruction of Sodom. Guardian angels were mentioned, but not, as was later the case, as guardian spirits of individuals and nations. God sent an angel to protect the Hebrew people after their exodus from Egypt, to lead them to the promised land, and to destroy the hostile tribes in their way (Ex. 23.20, Num. 20.16).


Angels often appear to people in the shape of humans of extraordinary beauty, and often are not immediately recognized as angels (Genesis 18:2, Genesis 19:5; Judges 6:17, Judges 8:6; 2 Samuel 29:9). Some fly through the air, some become invisible, sacrifices touched by some are consumed by fire, and some may disappear in sacrificial fire. Angels, or the Angel, appeared in the flames of the thorn bush (Genesis 16:13; Judges 6. 21, 22; 2 Kings 2:11; Exodus 3:2). They are described as pure and bright as Heaven; consequently, they are said to be formed of fire, and encompassed by light, as the Psalmist said (Psalm 104:4): "He makes winds His messengers, burning fire His ministers." Some verses in the Apocrypha/Deuterocanon depict angels wearing blue or red robes but no such reference occurs in the Protestant books.

Though superhuman, angels can assume human form; this is the earliest conception. Gradually, and especially in post-Biblical times, angels came to be bodied forth in a form corresponding to the nature of the mission to be fulfilled—generally, however, the human form. Angels bear drawn swords or other destroying weapons in their hands—one carries an ink-horn by his side—and ride on horses (Numbers 22:23, Joshua 5:13, Ezekiel 9;2, Zechariah 1:8 et seq.). A terrible angel is the one mentioned in 1 Chronicles 21:16,30, as standing "between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand". In the Book of Daniel, reference is made to an angel "clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude" (Daniel 10:5-6). This imagery is very similar to a description in the book of Revelation. Angels are thought to possess wings (Daniel 9:21), as they are described in the Bible, and depicted in Christian, Jewish and Zoroastrian art. They are commonly depicted with halos.

Answer 9

Oh, some people see them all the time. They also see trolls, leprechauns, sun dancing in the sky, burning bushes, they hear voices etc...
It all depends on the intensity of their schizoid delusional mental disorders.

Answer 10

Chalk it up to disbelief of the supernatural and loss of contact with the spiritual realm. Spirits are so commercialized now that if we see one, its most likely a ghost or an alien. We are so diluted, most of us wouldnt even know if we DID see one...

Answer 11

They've all been sucked into the engines of large aircraft, or shot down as suspected enemy combatants over the Pacific in WWII.
