Possible to see Angel

Angels are usually invisible to humans, but they appeared in Bible times to help people or give people God’s messages.

You may have seen a movie where people see angels. Those movies are make believe, but angels are not pretend. They are real because God created them and tells us the truth about them in the Bible.

During Bible times, God sent angels at special times to help people, such as the angel shutting the lions’ mouths for Daniel (Daniel 6:22). God also sent angels to give people God’s messages, such as the angel who told Mary she would be the mother of God’s Son (Luke 1:26-33).

Angels are usually invisible to humans (2 Kings 6:15-17), but sometimes they appeared to humans in Bible times, like the angel to Balaam and his talking donkey (Numbers 22). We often think of angels as being fluffy, gentle creatures, but in the Bible they usually appeared to be fierce and bright (Revelation 18:1). People who saw angels often fell to the ground, shaking in fear (Matthew 28:2-4).

Since we have the complete Bible now, God does not need to send angels anymore to tell us what to do or how to believe. Instead of looking for an angel to help you or tell you about God, look in God’s own Word—the Bible!

Angels do not always appear in their true, incredible form. They can make themselves look like a normal person! If you do see an angel, you probably won’t know it. That’s one reason you should be kind to people—you may be serving an angel (Hebrews 13:2)! Even though we may not see angels, angels are still worshipping God, fighting Satan, and helping Christians (Hebrews 1:14).

If you trust Jesus as your Savior from sin, you will go to heaven and see angels. But you will not care so much then about seeing an angel. You and the angels will care most about worshipping God together!

Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14).

““And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." (Luke 2:8-11).

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!’” (Revelation 5:11-12).
