“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works” (Matt. 16:27).
Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living (Matt. 22:29-32).
ANGELS CAN CHANGE THEIR FORMS TO LOOK LIKE PEOPLE:
Heb. 13:2—Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Remember Abraham, Gideon, Lot, many more (Elisha and the chariots of fire).
