Angels - Pt 4

What do angels look like?  Do they have bodies?  These are questions I have heard many times, especially from curious children. 
     We know that they can take on physical form or appear in physical form.  Heb. 13:2 in the Amplified tells us, “Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood--being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it.”  These angels must take on or appear in physical form for us to not know we are entertaining them.

     Here are a few descriptions of angels who have appeared or taken on physical form in the Bible:
  • Mt 28:3  “His appearance was like lightening and his garments as white as snow”
  • Lk 24:4-5   “behold, two men in dazzling raiment suddenly stood beside them
  • Mk 16:5-7   “they saw a young man sitting [there] on the right [side], clothed in a [long, stately, sweeping] robe of white,”
  • Dan 10:5-6  “a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz. His body also was [a golden luster] like beryl, his face had theappearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and his  feet like glowing burnished bronze, and the sound of his words was like the noise of a multitude”

     Most of the time we do not see angels in the natural realm.  They are spiritual beings, "ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation" (Hebrews 1:14). The Word of God tells us about their spiritual form also.  But I will save this for the next post, along with a few classes of angels.
