"Angels"
(Chp 6:5)
Tom was lost to what was happening above.
It was relevant, it was important, but closer to home (himself), things were a little more pressing.
It was true He was in the midst of a mass of humanity. Many of which stunk to high heaven. Tom was one of them.
It was also true that most were paying attention to the scene above them. Well, almost all , Tom’s attention was distracted.
What caught Toms attention was right in front of him.
He was confronted with an angel face to face.
That got his attention immediately.
It was true that he had been carried by one. But that angel he really could not see as He was being held. And frankly, Tom was a little out of his mind at the time. Insane would have been a better word.
Or at least Tom thought so.
This angel standing in front of him had wings. Not folded as he would have thought but somewhat held outward. They framed his normal appearing body.
The wings, semi-outstretched, held all at bay as no one pressed up against someone or something that obviously dominated a close proximity view. Tom was not sure if this was on purpose, by design, normal or just happened to be in the way.
It was just the person looked mostly normal…, except for those quite magnificent looking wings.
Fascinated he looked at the wings.
Hmmm, yes, they were feathers. Though Tom had been carried by a larger version of this being, this angel was closer to his size. About five foot nine inches, no real distinctions like a glow or a halo. No beard or facial hair but not looking like a norse godlike figure either buffed with muscles or youthful appearing. Just normal, except for wings.
Tom did notice angels seemed to come in wide varieties.
Now that he, Tom, had a chance to get a good look at one, he looked him over and sized him up and down rather curious.
The angel appeared to be doing the same to Tom. This surprised Tom that an angel was interested in Him. He kept trying to reference all the television shows, movies, books he had read any memory he had of what or how angels were.
Nothing helped him here.
The angel that stood before him seemed to fit as well as contradict all he thought he knew about them.
Tom could not see any expression that he could recognize on the angels face.
He?, seemed young or at least wrinkle less with no grey hair or beard. Hair was not cut to above ears like military but flowed, yet when Thomas looked around, he saw variety in the other angels which varied from curled, to long, to short.
Color seemed not to be consistent either. A person could have mistaken the angels with wings before him as human beings with wings.
This Tom thought, was perhaps where some of the Old Religions and maybe a few new had gotten some funny ideas about angels.
He recalled some religion thinking you died coming back as an angel.
"I can see where they got that idea",
thought Tom.
He could not imagine being like these angels in front of him because though he seemed human like, there was an “other worldliness” about him that was not uncomfortable, but different.
Oddly, most of the angels around him were almost plain except for the fact they had wings.
No real reason to think at first glance that they were superior in any way, except for flying.
He recalled that an angel had killed thousands, so on appearance nothing remarkable per se, but a book was read from the inside, not the outside.
Tom studied this Angel.
