God Speaks From The Sky
20:22

children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from
heaven.

Jehovah Speaks With Moses
33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the
cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle,
and the Lord talked with Moses. 10 And all the people saw the
cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up
and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
The
craft that was hovering over the mountain now flies and hovers over the
tabernacle. Jehovah speaks to Moses from it.
Deuteronomy
Jehovah Speaks From A Glowing Object
10:4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first
writing, the ten commandments, which the Lord spake unto you in the
mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the

Mark
A Young Man In The Tomb
16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw
that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5 And entering
into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side,
clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6 And he
saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was
crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid
him.
The phrase
"young man" is taken from neaniskos, meaning; a youth.
Acts
An Unseen Speaker
9:7
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless,
hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
The
men with Paul are baffled by the fact that they are hearing a voice or a
sound, but can see no speaker.
2 Peter
Voice From The Sky
1:18
And this voice, which came from heaven we heard, when we were
with him in the holy mount.
A
reference to the voice they heard at the Transfiguration.
Face To Face
Exodus
Jehovah's Appearance
33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there
shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the Lord said,
Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I
will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand
while I pass by: 23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou
shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
Moses
makes a request to see him Jehovah explains that viewing his face would
cause death and arranges Moses so that he can only see Jehovah’s back.
Joshua
A Captain Of Jehovah's Army
5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he
lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over
against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him,
and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come.
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said
unto him, what saith my lord unto his servant?
A
high-ranking member of the Army of Jehovah hovering over him confronts
Joshua.

Chronicles
Hovering Angel
21:16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord
stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand
stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who
were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
An angel is floating in the sky.
Ezekiel
A Copper Being
40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose
appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his
hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the\gate.
Ezekiel encounters a man who appeared as copper colored metal.

43:6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man
stood by me.
A
being appears beside Ezekiel.

A Golden Being
10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a
certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of
Uphaz:

Matthew
Angelic Desert Rescue
4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him.
The
angels tend to Jesus but where did they come from? See Luke
22:43
A Glaring White Angel Descends
28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of
the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from
the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of
him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
A
great angel descends from the sky dressed in pure white clothing and his
appearance was like lightning.
Luke
Angel And Bright Lights
2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For
unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the
babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger
An
angel of Jehovah comes over shepherds in the field and the area around
them became brightly illuminated.
The Transfiguration And Bright Lights
9:28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these
sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a
mountain to pray. 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his
countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses
and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease,
which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and
they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake,
they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 33 And it
came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master,
it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for
thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
The
transfiguration is the account of an aerial visitation to Jesus by two
beings that discuss the coming crucifixion.
A Man In Radiant Clothing
10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until
this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a
man stood before me in bright clothing,
A man
suddenly appears in radiant clothing.
Revelations
Jesus As An Elohiym
1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like
unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt
about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were
white like wool, as white snow; and his eyes were as a flame of
fire. 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a
furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
John
is seeing Jesus in his true appearance. There seems to be no
reason why John is allowed to see him while such a look would have
killed Moses. The Holy Spirit which John received at Pentecost
must provide immunity that a normal human does not possess.
