Do Angels Visit us Today?

do-angels-visit-us-today

The answer is a simple NO.  The reason being is because Jesus Christ has given us the Holy Spirit.

John 14:15-18

15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

From a casual reading of Scripture, a person might get the idea that angelic appearances were somewhat commonplace, but that is not the case. Likewise, in our society there has been a radical increased interest in angels, and it would seem that angelic appearances are commonplace today.  Angels appear in every religion, and generally seem to have the same role of messenger.  In the Old Testament angels seldom visited people and when they did come it was under very special or dire circumstances.  Below I have listed every visitation of an angel mentioned in scripture (except the book of Revelation).  In just over 4000 years, angels have appeared approximately 16 times.
