Mark 16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5 And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were afraid. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not afraid: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here.
Angels can also assume the form of men and any other known life forms on our planet, including animals. The speed at which they travel is not measured in miles per hour; speed depends on God’s will with virtually no limits. And according to the scriptures, they are ministering spirits of fire, sent forth to minister unto those who will be heirs of salvation.
[ G.C. pp 631>632] In all ages, God has wrought through holy angels for the succor and deliverance of his people. Celestial beings have taken an active part in the affairs of men. They have appeared clothed in garments that shone as the lightning; they have come as men, in the garb of wayfarers. Angels have appeared in human form to men of God. They have rested, as if weary, under the oaks at noon.
They have accepted the hospitality of human homes. They have acted as guides to benighted travelers. They have, with their own hands, kindled the fires of the altar. They have opened prison doors, and set free the servants of the Lord. Clothed with the panoply of Heaven they came to roll away the stone from the Savior's tomb.
Luke 24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
