My brother, a Christian, made a trip overseas to feed the hungry. He said he got off the boat and was walking up a road by himself when 3 men started to try to rob him. He said all of a sudden the men looked up behind him and were terrified and ran away. My brother turned and saw a huge Angel with a sword. God is good.

To encounter an angel was a terrifying experience, as most encounters in the old and new testaments, angels would often say "Don't be Afraid".

My name is Gabriël and I’m so happy with my name but I never knew that it also meant: God is my power. I’m crying, God is everything Glory to the Lord ❤

Thanks Bible project! I would like to share my experience with an angel. It happen during my sophomore year in high school. I was going through a lot so I would ask the Lord to take me with him - I knew better not commit suicide but I just wanted to be with him. I was asleep in my bed and there was a hand pressuring my leg. I thought it was my mother waking me up to go to school so I turned away. But the the had shook my leg and woke me up. I got up half way with my elbows still on my bed - I saw a man shape figure sitting at the edge on my bed. No features, no wings just bright like the images you guys showed. He spoke to me and said that everything will be okay. In that moment, I didn’t realize exactly what was happening I looked at my alarm clock and it was still night time I look back and he/it was gone. Right then there was a small earthquake and everyone woke up to check on me but I was in the state of mind of did that just happen. Everything happen one after the other. Since then even if everything is out of control on this Earth I still know that God is in control. Praise God and Jesus for their mercy and their ultimate love. Even in the darkest God is with us and hurts for us.

I'm an ex Muslim turned Christian living in Egypt, and I love your videos! Oh God bless you so much Bible Project! Thank you so much for making these! They legitimately helped me so much kickstart my knowledge in the Bible! May God always be with you!

It's a brave choice leaving the comments on.

I've been in such a dark place lately and watching these videos actually help me to understand why God does what he does. And I think that's amazing

"How cool would it be to meet an angel?" "Yeah and maybe you will -" Me: Ooohh? "And maybe you have." Me: oooOOOooooo

This raised a lot of questions for me. Guess I'll have to actually read the Bible!

Makes me fear the Lord more.

I'm not even Christian or religious, I just find ancient scriptures and texts with ideas and visualizations like these intriguing.

I met an angel. He looked like Santa. He spent the whole tour (I worked on a tour boat) just talking to me about Jesus and God and didn't have a care in the world other than talking to me.. He was the one who taught me how to ask for yaweh to enter my heart. And I did it and I've been forever changed since.. I fell to my knees crying when I received and heard the holy ghost for the first time.

2:21 I find it so beautiful that all creations of the Earth sings and praises God...

*gets ready to go to bed at 1:46 am *sees this video* Me: Who needs sleep anyway?

The animation, The colours, The music, The sounds,… everything in this clip is so beautiful.

The angel I saw in my room when I was 8 years old did have wings. It was a massive being and I was not afraid at the time - though I was pretty freaked out for a few days after lol. I remember that night vividly, but what stood out the most (besides it’s huge size, probably 12 feet tall, hunched over because my room was too small haha) was the living light moving inside it. I grew up dealing with a lot of fear at night so I believe God showed me my angel to help me know I was not alone. By the way, I’m loving these videos. I just discovered this channel and despite being a Christian my whole life, I have learned so much just from the videos I’ve watched. Thank you!!

I got baptised when I was 8 years old, I was then filled with the holy ghost as a child I use to follow my grandmother, my dad and my mom to pray for sick people in my district. I remembered when I was around 15 years old , this lady called me to her house because her baby was' nt feeling well, she had a fever and she lost her appetite so I went and prayed for her. After I left the ladys' house she called me and told me that the baby was feeling much better and she was eating. Children of God, God is real.

I love the expression of Heaven in these videos. It feels mystical yet relatable and very epic.

I had met an angel while in a train, but not realized that until years later. We had talked about the heaven. The joy there is so great that it cannot be described with any human language. God prepared this for all those whose heart truly wants to be with Him.

I met an angel. I was walking into a mall and I dropped my car keys and they fell apart. I found every part except for the immobiliser chip. I looked and looked for over 2 hours. People came to help me find that chip. It seemingly vanished. Then I prayed to God and Jesus to help me find that chip. A short time later I saw a crazy car coming down the road. A Datsun 120Y painted army green. Like a Harry Potter car, it never slowed down. The car parked next to where I was looking for my immobiliser chip. The driver walked up to me and asked me: "What am I looking for". I told him that I was looking for a chip; I described it. Then before the words left my mouth he found it. He said: "There it is". He picked it up and gave it to me. I put my car keys back together in less than 20 seconds. When I looked around to thank him; he and his car was gone.

I were on a flight to the USA when the plane got caught up in a turbelence, I started to pray to God asking him to send his angels to protect us. As I laid back in my seat trying to relax I closed my eyes I heard a whoosing sound and as I sat there with my eyes closed I saw a cherub coming down and he flew underneath the plane and as he did that I saw this being held up the plane with noth arms. This was really comforting because I was feeling a bit scared. All I can say my God is real because he send his angels to protect us from danger, hallelujah, what a mighty God we serve, God you deserve the glory because you are awesome.

Watching from Benin, Nigeria. The Bible Project is a blessing to my soul and also to those around me

I had a dream where I met an Angel, and the angel took over my body (but I still had control) and I began to sang wonderful praises towards God. It felt amazing.

I’ve encountered several angels at one time. It was terrifying because they were just beings of bright and tremendous light, that gave off this power that definitely sent you into fear. I heard God’s voice saying to me, “She’s seeing angels for the first time.”

LOVE! Talking to my 14 year old son tonight about something and the Cherubim came up and he said: "I had never heard of Cherubim until you and the Bible Project." Me: "Oh, you watch the Bible project?" Son: "Who Doesn't?" Made me smile. :) Thank you for making videos that even a 14 year old teen wants to watch.

So no one's gonna say the only way to God is through Jesus? Well I'll say it. Only way to get to God is through Jesus Christ 😊

This is an incredible explanation about Angels and Cherubim. Wow, great animation with a succinct, decipherable script. God is revealing the truth of His Word to the masses, and I appreciate the good works you are doing in His name. Glory to God!

3:32 I want to meet one but don’t think I could handle it 😂 I’d probably run away due to shock

"How cool would it be to meet an angel" "Yeah, maybe you will and maybe u already have" That line keeps repeating on my head 😂

Praise God do not praise an angel Edit: Wow. I never thought that my comment would get so many likes. Thanks! God bless 🙏🏾. Also read Revelation 19:10 for scriptural reference of my comment. And shout-out to @Stephanie R. S. for not wanting to ruin perfection when I had 777 likes. ❤️

This is so incredibly well done. I’ve gone to church all my life and still feel I barely understand the most basic Sunday school stories and principals. These videos help a lot

I am ABSOLUTELY fascinated by cherubims. And when you look at ancient civilizations, they too depict cherubims in the entrance of their cities, like the city of Numrut, Nimrod's main city. I know that Jesus has something special for me in Heaven in terms of the Cherubims...like, maybe a poster of them all in my awaiting mansion. Can't wait! They look so amazing to me, the way they are spoken of in Revelation, made to simply Praise God for all eternity. WOW!!!

I’m hyped. Been waiting for this video and watched the other videos in the playlist 3 times

God bless you all .. Greetings from India, Amen

This is an amazing video. Our human mind could never comprehend the full power and glory of our God.

I have never really been interested in learning about the bible. I didn't have anything while growing up to show me it was worth knowing, my family didn't go to church and instead focused solely on school. It is now through my partner and his worship that I am a bit more familiar with biblical events but even then I still didn't really have any interest until I found this page. Hearing it from you guys has actually made me want to learn and grow closer to my partner. :))

Ever wondered what an angel would look like if you met one? Well, if the stories in the Bible offer any clues, you probably wouldn’t even know you were talking to one! In the Bible, angels are mysterious beings who often go incognito and look like people (see the stories in Genesis 19 or Judges 13 about Lot's or the wife of Manoah’s lack of awareness in meeting angels). And why do they appear in the first place? In the Bible, the word “angel” simply means “messenger,” and it can refer to both human and spiritual messengers (see Genesis 32:1-3 for both in one story!). The spiritual messengers are sent by God to communicate messages to people (Luke 1:11-13), to protect God’s people (Acts 12:6-7), or to offer comfort or provision (1 Kings 19:5-6 or Mark 1:13). No angel in the Bible is ever depicted with wings, and this is why they can be mistaken for a normal person (check out Genesis 37:15). Part of the reason people think about angels as having wings is because they are confused with the cherubim, but in the Bible, these are very different creatures. Angels look like people and can cross the boundary between heaven and earth, but the cherubim never do, nor do they ever bring messages. The role of the cherubim is to stand guard at the boundary of God’s space (Genesis 3:24), to support God’s heavenly throne (see Psalm 99:1 or 1 Samuel 4:4), and to act as his heavenly choir (Revelation 4:6-9). One fascinating thing about cherubim is their multi-form animal appearance and the fact that they look different every time they appear in the Bible. They have two wings (Exodus 25:20) or four (Ezekiel 1:6). They can appear with one face (Exodus 25:20), two faces (Ezekiel 41:18), or even four! See Ezekiel 10:14 where they have faces of a human, an ox, a lion, and an eagle. And when Isaiah describes the spiritual creatures he sees singing around God’s throne, he calls them “seraphim,” which (get ready for it) is the standard Hebrew word for “snake” (see Numbers 21:6 or Isaiah 14:29). These beings are symbolic mosaics of all the creatures of the earth. They channel all of the birdsong, barking, and bear growls into a song of praise to the Creator: “Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh God of hosts; the fullness of the earth is his glory!” (Isaiah 6:3). There’s a lot the Bible doesn’t reveal about the spiritual realm, but the glimpses we do get remind us that we live in a strange and wonderful universe that is a testament to God’s creative power and love.

The best place to learn about the bible is by reading the word and through prayer, something that should be encouraged in every video. Thank you for the efforts in helping people to understanding the bible.

I love your videos on how you explain the Bible...So clear and touching...English is my second language and this is so much clear and very understanding...May our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be with us all...Glory Hallelujah..Amen

While not a religious man myself, I appreciate all the time and effort to make these animations. They look absolutely mystical and really capture my attention. I love how the cherubim look too

Angels and Cherubims are great! God is awesome!

2:38 “But the Cherubim have wings 😔“ 😂

Angels are probably why people feel “uncanny valley” about something that looks somewhat human but are off. Clearly under Christ we have nothing to fear though.

I'm not Christian or religious my self and I don't really know if I believe in a God or not, but this stuff is very cool and downright beautiful sometimes. I don't chose to believe in a lot of the things the bible says because to me they seem unrealistic, but this stuff is such an inspiration speaking from an artistic point of view because to me the bible and religion is a from of art. Please I don't want any hardcore Christians attacking me on my beliefs I said my positive things and that's that.

"Holy Holy Holy Is the Lord our God, Who is and was and is to come." Revelation 4:9. The Cherubim. AKA the 4 living creatures.

"Angels don't have wings" finally!!! Someone else said it. I've been saying it for so long and people they don't believe me. Finally..

I was still studying back then and I had to travel 4 hours from home to the place where my uni was. It was already past noon and if I didn't take the next bus I would be at my dorm way past after dark. As I was waiting at the terminal, an elderly woman sat beside me. So this bus came and parked right in front of us. I was getting ready to hop on the bus when the grandma pointed out the driver, she said "I think the driver is fixing something, don't you think the bus is not in a good shape?" I was perplexed. I didn't want to miss this one and wait for another hour but deep inside a sense of uneasiness has touched me. And then she said with a voice speaking with conviction "LET'S wait for the next bus." I was shocked. A total stranger would tell me to wait for the next bus and possibly arrive at my dorm by bedtime and I have exams tomorrow and I have to study... my mind was racing trying to weigh my decision. It's also worth mentioning that almost all the passengers took that bus and it was already crowded. But one thing felt right, that I had to OBEY. So, I sat back down at my chair and stared as the bus slowly drives out of the terminal. Later on, the next bus arrived and we gladly hopped on it after a long wait. About halfway to our destination our bus stopped unexpectedly and we can hear loud voices outside. When I looked outside the window, I can feel a cold sensation creep to the back of my head and down my spine... the first bus that we skipped broke down and went off the rode into a huge boulder! I turned towards the grandma in shock and all I can mutter was "thanks." She only returned it with a smile. What's puzzled me is that I can't remember if we disembarked from the bus together, it's as if she vanished. To end this story, I arrived at my dorm late in the night, tired, baffled, amazed, but mostly importantly SAFE! She's truly my guardian angel and I thank God for sending her. Amen 🙏🏻

Listening to bible words with full joy and laughter. You guys you really simplifies the bible I real like it, wish I can contribute to translate. May the God be with you all. Greetings from Tanzania 🇹🇿

Greatings and prayers from Portugal 🇵🇹😁

This artwork is incredible. I mean just amazing almost making me cry.

I love this .So heart touching. Everything about God is heart warming and touch me deeple.I love and fear Him. He is truly our Father and His angels are loving beings. I believe it!!!!❤🙏

First time seeing yalls channel, and I already love how you guys are exploring the Bible. Its not pretentious, holier than thou, or like its being shoved in your face. Its like someone is explaining in a digestible way the lore of something they hold dear, and I think its beautiful that you guys are doing this. Definitely going to be coming back for more! Thank you

Your depiction of The Cherubim in the video are beautiful. Thank you!

Watching from Kenya. Great job, guys!

I’m an atheist, but I love learning about religion and its stories/messages. These are very comprehensive, thank you! :)

i am learning so much,my heart and my mind is full! thank you so much Bible Project Team! the LORD bless you more!

Since we're all saying where we're watching from, greetings from Czech Republic!

Tim: "Angels look like us, just more impressive..." Me: "He's absolutely right..."

Felt compelled to write my story ! My father had been so tired of cancer that he couldn't fight no more. His family needed him, he was our glue . I cried myself to sleep, then got woke up in the night to see a little figure of a man, with out wings. This man must have been 2 ft tall looked like stone ! As anyone else experienced this ?

This is amazing! I love the way you take amazingly done animations and God's word and put them into one. It warms my heart when I see people spreading the Lord's word in the new day and age.

Hey, hi! "PRAISE THE LORD" you have a plethora of support from India. Keep doing this: I'm attempting to show your videos to my Hindu friends.

In the Military i actually met a Angel named Doty, who was disgused as a Soldier in our Unit!!!!. We had 2 Ministers in our unit Burnett and Brown who figured out it was an Angel. 1. When you looked into his eyes you forgot everything else around you. 2. He talked like a very old man . even though he looked like he was 17. 3. He'd pointed out 2 Angels one in a sky form. and one in a human form glaring at me in the woods while we were patrolling. keep in mind we could only see Angels when we were next to him. otherwise the human mind wouldnt know the difference between hallucinations and the real thing... the only way we knew the angel was real is we both could see it

When I was little I got my fingers stuck in a heavy door at a storefront. My mom was two thick window panes away and couldn’t hear me screaming and my brother was too little to open the air suctioned door. A tall man appeared out of no where behind me and opened the door to let my fingers loose. I ran inside to my mom and turned around to point to the man who helped me and he was gone…. No cars were around driving off, no people walking away. He appeared and went just like that. I’ve heard other stories such as my aunt who got in a car accident. She was going unconscious and said some lady was with her just comforting her and telling her everything was going to be ok, the ambulance is coming. When the ambulance got there she asked where the woman was and they and bystanders said no one was with her…. I believe on both accounts they were angels. Yes, both families are praying people of Faith in Christ.

Thank you so much for explaining charubs and angels. Great presentation.

Greetings and prayers from India! Your videos are fantastic. Thanks for your work.

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, who wert and art and evermore shalt be.

I'm an ex hindu and now I'm in Christ. Thank you for your bible study KZfaq Channel.

These videos are so well explained and engaging thank you for doing this 👏🏽👏🏽

Greetings from Brazil. I love your work, guys. Do never stop reaching people with a simple, but clever and honest way to show the Scriptures. God bless you guys!

This is so beautiful... I have tears in my eyes.

beautiful sound work on this. when the cherubim praised the lord, a wondrous chill ran down my spine.

I'm in the middle of 1 Kings currently and this helps out a lot. Thank you for your videos!

It's so cool Dr. Micheal Heiser was a Consultant on this. I have learned so much listening to and reading his books. Thanks to everyone at the Bible Project, Great job as always!

I really like the way you explain the reality of these terms without attaching yourself to the false image forged by the world, but by relying on the biblical reality ! There is also a verse that supports the fact that you may have already met an angel without realizing it: "2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." (Hebrews 13) Continue the good work ! Shalom and blessings

Thank God for you guys! I started a plan via the bible app and your videos are what I look forward to most. You guys explain things so well. God Bless you all..

Amen. Very info on the Bible ❤🙏🏾

Greetings 😇 from the Philippines 🇵🇭 God Bless guys 😇

Angels don't have wings - mind blown!

This is really cool! Thanks for explaining this!!

Watching from Maputo, Mozambique.. God bless you The Bible Project

A true masterpiece , that is informative and short, but enough to change even the darkest hearts.

Beautifully done 🙏🏾

Excellent video. Thank you for this. Yes, DR MICHAEL HEISER videos have given us a bigger better deeper understanding of God's Holy Word.

My comment is a bit late but Greetings from Kingston, Jamaica!!! Much love in Christ to you all. Can't wait to meet you :)

My youth group has been doing the bible project and recently finished the books of the Bible(revelation) I am really interested in divine beings, most of my own original characters have some association or is a divine being. Can’t wait I really love the artwork in all the videos. 💛🖤

Whoever does the sound design on these videos deserves a Grammy--really serious stuff!!! Even though I'm a Strong Theist now after denouncing the faith seven years ago, I may still subscribe just because of how much I enjoy the animations and sound; a very talented gathering of individuals indeed.

Thank you for having the late Dr, Michael Heiser, as your consultant on this topic. He was such an amazing asset to the teaching of the Bible. Great job on these amazing videos!

Father in Heaven Thank you 🙏🏿

Beautiful. Whenever I watch your videos it's like looking at the world through the bibles eyes

I really appreciate this chanel, like it's another manifestation of a messenger here on earth which summarize and explain what's inside the Bible.

Been hooked on you guys for about a year I think. I love your explanations and calm soothing voices. What a wonderful way to learn the bible. I recommend you as often as possible. Keep doing the good works and GOD bless you both and your staff🙏🙏🙏

We’ve received a lot of great questions about our recent Angels and Cherubim video. One question, in particular, has been: Who or what are the seraphim in Isaiah chapter 6, and how do they relate to the cherubim? The rabbit hole, as always, is deep and fascinating! Let’s recall that the cherubim function as guardians at the boundary between heaven and earth (as in Genesis 3:24). They support Yahweh’s throne in the heavenly temple (Psalm 99:1), or carry his mobile throne-chariot that appears to prophets on earth (as in Ezekiel 9:3 and 10:1). An important fact here is that each time they appear, they look slightly different and are called by different titles. They’re “living creatures” (Ezekiel 1) or “cherubim” (Ezekiel 10). They have have two wings (Exodus 25:20) or four (Ezekiel 1:6), with one face (1 Kings 8:6-7) or two (Ezek 41:18) or four (Ezek 10:14)! This variety points to their symbolic nature. The diversity of their appearance mirrors the diversity of the earthly creatures that they represent in the heavenly realm, channeling creation’s beauty into praise to the Creator. These various titles and depictions help us understand what the prophet Isaiah (ch. 6) sees in his vision of the same heavenly throne room. He describes hybrid creatures who perform a similar role to the cherubim, but with some variations. They have six wings (instead of two or four), and they guard the divine throne with their choir song: “Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of hosts, that which fills the land is his glory” (Isaiah 6:3). In addition, they're called seraphim only here in the Hebrew Scriptures. This uniqueness has led some people to think that seraphim are a species of spiritual being different from the cherubim, but this is unlikely. Isaiah’s vision fits the same pattern of heavenly throne guardians who have different appearances and titles when they show up in scripture. But why are they called seraphim in Isaiah chapter 6? Here's the real rabbit hole! The Hebrew word "seraphim" is one of the common Hebrew words for "snake." And if the image of winged snakes sounds crazy to you, notice that Isaiah uses the same exact word two other times where its meaning is very clear: “flying snakes” (Isaiah 14:29 and 30:6). In Isaiah chapter 14, it’s a metaphor for the ruler of Babylon, who has attempted to ascend into the heavens and usurp God’s throne (14:12-15)! Does that sound familiar? Isaiah’s seraphim are hyperlinked to the rebel cherub in Ezekiel 28:14 and to that clever snake in Genesis 3! This is why we omitted discussion of the seraphim in our Angels and Cherubim video because we’ll focus on them in our forthcoming video on The Satan and Demons. And one last thing! If you’re still not sure if the cherubim and seraphim are the same creature, check out Revelation 4:5-9, where John’s vision of the divine throne room merges imagery from all over the Hebrew Bible. He sees a crystal sky-platform (from Exodus 24:10), with living creatures (from Ezekiel 1) that have eyes all over (from the cherubim in Ezekiel 10), but they have six wings and sing “holy, holy, holy…!” (from the seraphim of Isaiah 6). In John’s apocalyptic imagination, all of these diverse heavenly creatures are really one, transforming the noise and beauty of creation into one ultimate song that honors the Creator and King of all.

This is the first video I've seen by The Bible Project. I'm not even sure how I came across it. So many FEELS...my grandma was Catholic and talked about angels all the time. She said they come in all shapes and sizes, in the forms of people, animals, birds, rays of sunshine, a warm breeze. I thought a lot about her while watching this. Thank you for all the wonderful work you're doing.

Love this video and learnt a lot! Thanks the BibleProject team!

I’m convinced I saw an angel. Long story short - I had torn my Achilles but some girls prayed for me and it was healed. About a week later I was with a group of college students doing some ministry on a college campus. I saw a guy walking on crutches and in a boot. I turned my head to tell my co-leader I wanted to pray for him. As soon as I turned back he had vanished. While my group and k looked for him, it turned into a giant group of about 200 students hearing about Jesus. But only because we turned back to find the guy on crutches so I could pray for him.

God wants us to call upon him, have a relationship with him,Pray for the lost people to come back to the light, this is how we build a huge light from the dark. We need to stay United so Satan stays away from us God bless you and all of us repent fast and pray. He is waiting. Amen

We have angels in our midst! Our LORD is so loving😁

Phenomenal Work on all your videos guys. This video is indeed phenomenal. May the LORD God bless and nourish the BibleProject team.

This is great! Straight to the point & interesting! Thank you 😊
