The Real Reason Everyone was TERRIFIED of Angels...

Most people imagine angels as peaceful beings with soft wings, glowing halos, and gentle voices. But in the Bible, when angels appear, people are often terrified. And over and over again, angels have to begin with the same words: “Do not be afraid.” So what were people actually seeing? Why does every angel in scripture say this? This animated Bible mystery explores why angels in scripture were often so overwhelming, why people reacted with fear, and why the phrase “do not be afraid” may mean much more than simple comfort. We’ll look at Zechariah in the temple, Mary and Gabriel, the shepherds near Bethlehem, the angel at the tomb, John in Revelation, and the strange heavenly beings connected to God’s throne. Because angels were not terrifying because they were monsters. They were overwhelming because they came from the presence of God.
