"ANGELIC BEINGS!"

Before we start let us ask for a word of wisdom in YeSHua's precious name ... Amen!
********************************************************************************************

Reve 22:8 (KJS) And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had
heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the ANGEL which
shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I
am thy FELLOWSERVANT, and of thy BRETHREN the PROPHETS, and of them which
keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

The angel is our fellowservant and of thy Brethren the Prophets. Meaning
when we die we return to God in our spiritual bodies. Eccl 12:7 and we are
then known as angels. Let us get a second witness to this.

Psal 103:19 (KJS) The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his
kingdom ruleth over all. 20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in
strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his
pleasure.

We're here to help edify. Bless the Lord, ye HIS angels, that do his
commandments!

We know angels are in their spiritual bodies. I have decided to look to see
how the angelic beings appearance are described throughout the word of God.
Here I found a few hints: Matthew describes the spiritual body as lightning.

Matt 28:2 (KJS) And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of
the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the
door, and sat upon it.

Matt 28:3 (KJS) His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
snow:

Countenance in the Greek Strong's #2397. idea, id-eh'-ah; from G1492; a
sight [comp. fig. "idea"], i.e. aspect:--countenance.

Lightning in the Greek Strong's #796. astrape, as-trap-ay'; from G797;
lightning; by anal. glare:--lightning, bright shining.

Meaning in Matt the appearance of the angel of the Lord was bright and shining.

Countenance in the Hebrew Strong's #4758. mar'eh, mar-eh'; from H7200; a
view (the act of seeing); also an appearance (the thing seen), whether
(real) a shape (espec. if handsome, comeliness; often plur. the looks), or
(mental) a vision:-- X apparently, appearance (-reth), X as soon as
beautiful (-ly), countenance, fair, favoured, form, goodly, to look (up) on
(to), look [-eth], pattern, to see, seem, sight, visage, vision.

In Judg 13 the appearance is quite different:

Judg 13:6 (KJS) Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of
God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel
of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me
his name: 7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a
son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing:
for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his
death. 8 Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of
God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do
unto the child that shall be born. 9 And God hearkened to the voice of
Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the
field: but Manoah her husband was not with her. 10 And the woman made haste,
and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath
appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day. 11 And Manoah arose, and
went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the
man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am. 12 And Manoah said, Now
let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we
do unto him? 13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I
said unto the woman let her beware. 14 She may not eat of any thing that
cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any
unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe. 15 And Manoah said
unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall
have made ready a kid for thee. 16 And the angel of the LORD said unto
Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt
offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew
not that he was an angel of the LORD. 17 And Manoah said unto the angel of
the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do
thee honour? 18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou
thus after my name, seeing it is secret?

Judg 13:19 (KJS) So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it
upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his
wife looked on. 20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven
from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the
altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the
ground. 21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his
wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD. 22 And Manoah said
unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

This angel, this spiritual body, appeared as a man of God as so that Manoah
did not realize from verse 11 until verse 20 that this man of God was an
angel of the Lord (verse 16) 1. The angel appeared as a man. 2. This angel
then ascended in the flame.; 3. This angel countenance was not as
"lightening." Suggesting the spiritual body can transform, transfigure, or
perhaps accurately stated appear as the Lord wishes?

Reve 10:1 (KJS) And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,
clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as
it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

Psal 104:4 (KJS) Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

Hebr 1:7 (KJS) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits,
and his ministers a flame of fire.

Hebr 1:14 (KJS) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister
for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

So in conclusion:

Acts 7:30 (KJS) And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in
the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a
bush. 31 When Moses saw it, HE WONDERED AT THE SIGHT: and as he drew near to
behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,

Exod 3:5 (KJS) And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off
thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

The word of God through Luke had the opportunity here to described that
spiritual body: Moses drew near to behold it, ..... No doubt ..... we are
left to wonder.
