the New Jersey drone situation just got way interesting recently headlines have been buzzing about mysterious drones spotted over New Jersey for many the sight of drones tracking these lights is unsettling are they spying on us are they here to protect us or could they be monitoring something we don't yet understand many have asked if it is possible for the world to see other worldly beings what's going on in New Jersey people have been looking up and spotting something strange drones or at least that's what we're being told but what if it's not about the drones
at all what if these sightings point to something much bigger something beyond what we're ready to understand are we seeing technology beings from another world or perhaps something even more extraordinary and Christians are asking can we even see mysterious beings like Angels it all started with reports of drones flying in coordinated patterns over New Jersey people were quick to take videos snapping pictures of the night sky at first it seemed like a routine thing maybe some kind of government test or a hobbyist with fancy toys but then something changed eyewitnesses began describing strange lights movement
that didn't make sense and a feeling a feeling that they were seeing something they couldn't explain here's the thing drones don't glow like this they don't pulse or hover in ways that seem almost alive and they certainly don't interact with their surroundings like these objects are reported to could it be that these so-called drones or something else entirely and if so what let's take a closer look is it just phones or special devices that can see these things now here's where it gets weird in several videos we see what looks like drones approaching these glowing
lights or what some are calling plasmoids as the drones get closer something happens the lights change almost as if they're responding let's shift gears for a moment if you've read the Bible you know it's full of descriptions of heavenly beings things that don't look anything like us in Ezekiel 1 we hear about Wheels within Wheels sparkling like topaz moving in ways that defy understanding could these glowing lights and their strange movements be connected to something Divine are we seeing Echoes of ancient Visions in our modern skies and if these are biblical beings is it possible
for our eyes to see them can you see Angels physically puzzle one what really are angels angels are Spiritual Beings created by God they serve as Messengers protectors and Servants of the most high in artwork angels are often depicted in various ways however exploring their true appearances can Inspire wonder and deepen our understanding of their Earthly missions if angels are Spirit Spiritual Beings how can they be perceived in a physical form puzzle two when Angels appear it is worth noting that angels in the Bible appear to people in different and often unpredictable ways although one
might think that such appearances were quite frequent based on a simple reading of the scriptures in reality they were not very common there is a growing fascination with angels in recent times and a plethora of accounts of angelic sightings angels are everywhere in almost all religions and are typically viewed as Messengers to assess the possibility of angels appearing in modern times it is necessary to understand their historical appearances from a Biblical perspective the first appearance of angels in the Bible is in Genesis God placed cherubim to block the entrance with a flaming sword after Adam
and Eve were expelled from the Gard Garden of Eden the next appearance of an angel in the Bible is in Genesis 16 in this instance Hagar the Egyptian servant Who Bore ishmail to Abraham was given instructions by an Angel to return to her mistress another encounter with Heavenly beings happened in Genesis when God and two angels visited Abraham during this visit God informed Abraham about the impending destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19 two angels visited lot and warned him to leave the city along with his family before it was destroyed in Genesis 32
when Jacob saw a large number of angels he quickly identified them as the army of God however there are certain characteristics angel in physical bodies have they reflect glory of the Lord at times the Angels served as a medium for the glory of the Lord to shine through as an example when the angel of the Lord stood before them the radiance of the Lord's Glory enveloped them and they were filled with fear Ezekiel ezekiel's prophecy account is not a story from a different time and place he was a real person who lived in a real
place he had remarkable visions of God on an actual day Ezekiel first noticed a fierce Whirlwind coming from the north then he saw four living creatures Each of which had four faces a lion's face an ox's face an eagle's face and a human face four wings straight feet and hands under its wings the creatures represent God's attributes seen in creation his majesty power swiftness and wisdom The Book of Revelation contains several parallels with John however Ezekiel provides a much more detailed description destion of the four living creatures Ezekiel 1 says also from within it came
the likeness of four living creatures and this was their appearance they had the likeness of a man each one had four faces and each one had four wings their legs were straight and the soles of their feet were like the soles of Cal's feet they sparkled like the color of burnished bronze the hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides and each of the four had faces and wings their wings touched one another the creatures did not turn when they went the four living creatures are also found in Revelation the scriptures
that describe these beings give no hint that they are figurative rather they present them as real actual beings the cherubim also known as the four living creatures meaning beings are are the highest and most exalted order of celestial beings this is made abundantly clear by the close proximity of these individuals to the throne of God according to Ezekiel 1 it seems as though they are continually moving around the throne Ezekiel 1 says and each one went straight forward they went wherever the spirit wanted to go and they did not turn when they went as for
the likeness of the living creatures their appearance was like burning coals of fire like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures the fire was bright and out of the fire went lightning and the living creatures ran back and forth in appearance like a flash of lightning Revelation 5: 6-14 explain the functions or responsibilities of the four living creatures they prostrate themselves before the lamb who is Jesus Christ and offer the same reverence to him as they did to the Father the purpose of the four living creatures also has to do
with declaring the Holiness of God and leading in worship and Adoration of God Additionally the four living creatures play a role in the execution of God's justice in some fashion these beings are an exalted order of angels whose purpose is primarily that of worship later on Ezekiel was able to discern that the amazing beings who surrounded God were Angels called cherubim these angels have their own distinct power and Glory before he was cast down Satan was one of the cherubim that guarded the Throne of God since the Ark of the Covenant represented the presence of
God among Israel Yahweh was sometimes called he who dwells between the cherubim Ezekiel also sees the ofanim what are the ofanim ofanim is the ancient Hebrew word for wheels ofanim are also mentioned in Ezekiel 1 the Bible is brimming with Incredible imagery God gives us a look into a realm to which human eyes rarely have access through his holy word we are never disappointed when we enter into scripture eager to learn more about God his methods and his intentions it is hard to define the ofy depicted in ezekiel's Vision Without considering the entirety of the
revelation God chooses to open the heavens in front of ezekiel's temporal eyes Ezekiel 1 says now as I looked at the living creatures Behold a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces the appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of barrel and all four had the same light likeness the appearance of their workings was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel when they moved they went toward any one of four directions they did not turn aside when they went as for their
rims they were so high they were awesome and their rims were full of eyes all around the four of them when the living creatures went the wheels went beside them and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth the Wheels were lifted up wherever the spirit wanted to go they went because there the spirit went and the wheels were lifted together with them for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels when those went these went when those stood these stood and when those were lifted up from the earth the wheels
were lifted up together with them for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheel we read a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature what Ezekiel Saw or described In this passage is difficult to visualize it is presumably an image of a magnificent Chariot with four wheels that is bringing the Throne of God the scene gives the impression of continuous motion and activity not only on the part of the living beings themselves but also on the part of the throne that God sits on the wheels and their workings could move in
any direction but there was no sense of chaos or disorder to their movements a popular bible commentators stated about this like a ball bearing they could move in any direction without any steering mechanism as for their rims they were so high they were awesome and their rims were full of eyes again it is difficult to image in one's mind exactly what Ezekiel Saw or stated In this passage the description of full of eyes was how John described the cherubim themselves the four wheels and their workings moved in step with the four cherubim as they rotated
they were linked together in such a way that Ezekiel was able to write the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels ofanim are also mentioned similarly in eel 10 and when I looked there were four wheels by the cherubim one wheel by one cherub and another Wheel by each other cherub the wheels appeared to have the color of a barrel Stone as for their appearance all four looked alike as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel when they went they went toward any of their four directions they did not turn
aside when they went but followed in the direction the head was facing they did not turn aside when they went and their whole body with their back their hands their wings and the wheels that the four had were full of eyes all around as for the wheels they were called in my hearing wheel there were four wheels by the cherubim Ezekiel fund when described these wheels in some detail the general impression is of constant activity motion and free movement with no chaos or disorder they did not turn aside when they went but followed in the
direction the head was facing if the wheels and the cherubim describe God's Chariot or Chariot Throne then it is clear that Ezekiel was to understand that it was on the move it was in Babylon now it is in Jerusalem at the temple Ezekiel 1 describes eyes in reference with the wheels here we learn that the cherubim themselves were full of eyes all around and this fits the later characterization of cherubim found in Revelation 4:6 the image seems bizarre to the modern reader but one must remember that this is a Visionary experience and surrealistic features May
overwhelm realism in the passages above the Throne of God is set on Wheels ofanim and then pushed by Four Angels there are wheels inside of wheels at Cross angles with the effect that the throne can move in any direction without having to turn sometimes an angels are different looking Daniel had an encounter with an angel who was wearing special clothing even though Angels typically look like ordinary men the angel he saw was dressed in linen and had a golden belt from oaz around his waist angels are sometimes not recognized as angels angels have often been
reported to appear in front of people without being identified as Divine beings they would look like regular men and not stand out in any way never in subhuman form angels are said to appear in human form but never in subhuman form such as animals birds or objects according to the Bible angels have spoken to people from clouds and fire but they never identify themselves with those elements struck with fear people often feel frightened when they see angels angels are messengers of God carrying out his will through Supernatural means they always Point towards God and give
him the glory Holy Angels reject worship what does the Bible say about Angelic appearances throughout the Bible Angels play a significant role as messengers of God and appear in both the Old and New Testaments they may appear alone or in groups and they form can either be humanlike or Heavenly when they reveal their true form it can be so awe inspiring that they often have to reassure the people who see them not to be afraid Angels who are constantly caring for faithful people at God's command are often around us but we may not see them
angels are often working beyond our visual perception however sometimes God does reveal angels in the background and doing so can encourage us the story of angels announcing Jesus Christ's birth on the first Christmas is a good example of The Wonder of angelic appearances so can we expect to see Angels physically it's a question that invites us to trust in God's Mysteries like Zechariah we might not always understand or believe immediately like John we might be called to play a role in a larger story let's reflect on this blessed are those who have not seen and
yet have believed John 20:29 our faith doesn't require the physical sight of angels it's about believing in the Unseen trusting in God's promises and being open to the wonders beyond our comprehension John's story teaches us about God's timing purpose and the ways he can use anyone even those born to elderly parents even those living in the wilderness and sometimes he sends angels to set things in motion as we walk through life let's carry the lesson of John the Baptist in our hearts let's be open to the miraculous even if it doesn't come in the form
of an Angelic visitation let's prepare our hearts for God's work just as John prepared the way for Jesus why Angels would appear in physical form let's take a moment to reflect on this why do you think God chose to reveal his angels to Mary Joseph and the Shepherds in physical form could it be that he wanted to ensure his message was clear and undeniable or perhaps he wanted to show his glory in a tangible way imagine living without smartphones the internet or even newspapers news was shared by word of mouth and divine messages were rare
God needed a reliable way to convey such important news clearly what better method could there be than sending an angel now think about it for a moment what would you do if an angel suddenly appeared in your living room the straightforward answer is that while it is rare there are instances recorded in scripture Where Angels have appeared however in most cases cases Angels remain unseen as they carry out God's will guiding protecting and Watching Over Us in ways that go beyond our human understanding think of it like the wind you can't see it but you
can feel its effects similarly you may not see angels with your eyes but you can sense their presence through the peace they provide the sudden solutions to problems or The Unexplained protection during times of danger moreover our Focus shouldn't primarily be on seeing Angels but rather on acknowledging their existence and the role they play in God's divine plan this speaks volumes about faith believing in the Unseen trusting in the Divine and knowing that we are never alone however angels have an Heavenly form the Bible mentions instances of Holy Angels appearing as light beings we see
this when God sent an angel to free the Apostle Peter from jail acts 12 suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared beside him and a light Shone in the cell the angel struck Peter's side and awakened him saying get up quickly and the chains fell off his hands however fallen angels can also appear in the disguise of Holy Angels of light if you ever meet an angel appearing in Heavenly form you you may be so in awe that you're moved to worship just be sure to direct your worship to the creator of angels God rather
than to the angels themselves Colossians Tut warns against worshiping Angels let no one defraud you of your prize your freedom in Christ and your salvation by insisting on mock humility and the worship of angels going into detail about Visions he claims he has seen puffed up in conceit by his unspiritual mind after encountering an angel the Apostle John attempted to worship him but in revelation 22 John describes what occurred as a result of his actions but he said to me do not do that I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets
and with those who heed and remember the truths contained in the words of this book worship God these stories were meant to be shared and remembered throughout the ages the physical appearances of angels made such a strong impression on Mary Joseph and the Shepherds that their stories have been told and retold for over 2,000 years they remind us of the miraculous nature of Jesus's birth and the fact that God sometimes intervenes in our world in extraordinary ways why is it important for Christians to know about the Supernatural realm Ephesians 6 says put on the whole
armor of God that you may be able to stand against the Ws of the devil for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places in Ephesians 6 we're told that our struggle is not not against flesh God desires Believers to be aware of the world beyond what our temporal eyes can see so that we in the Lord's Mighty power can be prepared to take on whatever scheme the enemy has in store extremism is
prevalent in today's society on one end of the scale some Believers downplay the supernatural parts of their faith and insist on maintaining a naturalistic worldview which is characterized by an exclusive reli on the truths of doctrinal teachings for day-to-day living and on the opposite end of the spectrum are those people who are so preoccupied with the spiritual realm because of the Allure it holds for them that they are of little help on Earth we must first ensure that our eyes are open to the reality of the situation when Elisha's servant was terrified by the surrounding
enemy in 2 Kings 6 the prophet tells the young man don't be afraid so so he answered do not fear for those who are with us are more than those who are with them and Elisha prayed and said Lord I pray open his eyes that he may see then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw and behold the mountain was full of horses and Chariots of Fire all around Elisha the world in which we live cannot be considered our home there is a world that we cannot see yet it is
Rife with conflict over our own Souls when we make the decision to investigate the Bible and seek God's perspective on the supernatural we move one step closer to the establishment of God's Kingdom for
