6) Absence of Sightings

From 800 to 390 BC there were quite a few messages delivered to the Hebrews by those they called messengers (Hebrew malak).

Some also see visions, including that of “a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it” (Ezekiel 1:4), and a vision of horses with chariots coming between mountains (Zechariah 6:3).

Then there is an absence of sightings for about 380 years.


Renewed sightings

For the 100 years from the Common Era there are more similar sightings and accounts of many miracles. For example a multitude of Messengers are seen at night in a halo of bright light by a group of shepherds (Luke 2) to announce Jesus' (Yeshua) birth.

But perhaps the most remarkable was 44AD when Peter by then a leader of the followers of Christ, was placed in prison.

Behold, a messenger of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off from his hands. The messenger said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak, and follow me.”And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the messenger was real, but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him. (Acts 12:7-10)

On another occasion Paul, who wrote most of the letters included in the New Testament, when in danger of shipwreck in 59AD, saw a messenger of God stand by him on the night before they came to land.


John in 96CE is the last one to see them at Patmos. He saw at least 7 of them. One tells John all that people need to know about the future, until the time these messengers will again be seen on the earth.

And there came unto me one of the seven messengers .. (Rev 21:9)
And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his messenger to show to his servants the things which must shortly be done. (Rev 22:6)


A long absence of sightings

Though many have claimed miracles, and seen strange sights, no one, it seems, has seen these human- like beings who glow, come down from the atmosphere or ascend from the earth. No-one since John at Patmos in about 96AD has heard them speak for He Who Will Be. But can we be sure?

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained Messengers unawares. (Hebrews 13:2)

As it is quite clear from all the account that they can walk on the earth and humans not see them. Having left their various messages, the extra-terrestrial messengers have indicated they will not communicate until one day they will be revealed on earth again, for all to see

But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of Messengers, (Hebrew 12:22)
