While it’s important not to worship angels, we like to hear stories about miraculous encounters with them. Perhaps it’s our curiosity about the divine or simply a desire for hope and inspiration. Either way, tales of angelic visitations have captivated and inspired people throughout history.
Revelations 22:8 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.
Revelations 22:9 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.
Matthew 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
In July 1984, Russian cosmonauts aboard the Soviet space station were on day 155 of their mission. This was the day that the group reported strange lights and beings.
According to commander Oleg Atkov and cosmonauts Vladmir Solovyov and Leonid Kizim, the space station was completely bathed in a mesmerizing orange light. It appeared to enter from outside the space station and bled through an absolutely opaque wall.
For a short period of time, the orange light was so bright that it blinded the crew. When their vision returned, each one looked out the portholes for the source of the light, looking for a possible explosion.
They knew the space station had suffered previous fires, but what the crew saw was more incomprehensible than the orange light.
All of the cosmonauts reported seeing the faces of seven angels who were hovering just outside the space station. They told ground control they were humanoid in appearance faces and bodies that looked human, but they had wings. These beings kept pace with the space station for 10-minutes before vanishing.
They said that they felt a feeling of well-being while they were in the presence of these beings.
On day 167, the crew was then joined by another team of three from the Soyuz T-12 spacecraft:
Svetlana Savitskaya, Igor Volk, and Vladimir Dzhanibekov. Shortly after joining then, the space station was once again bathed in warm orange light. They immediately looked out the portholes, and once again, they saw angelic beings.
This incident was deemed top secret by the old Soviet Union and the crew was cautioned not to speak of the event publicly.
Angels can come in many forms, such as a person dressed as we are at a shopping center or passing by us during everyday life.
