It's also interesting that in Revelation some evils spirits are said to look like frogs Rev. 16:13. Other holy spiritual creatures in the Bible are described as having animal-like features as well (Ezek. 1:5ff; 10:21-22; Rev. 4:7-8). <br /><br />I don't think that necessarily means that angels and demons actually look like that. It may be a representation using imagery from earthly creatures to help us understand the character and nature of such spirit beings. Similar to how in Star Trek the <a href="http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Q_Continuum" rel="nofollow">Q Continuum</a> would sometimes be represented in ways humans could understand (e.g. a house in the middle of a desert, or like the 19th century American Civil War period).ANNOYED PINOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714774340084597206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-61558900646766913582014-07-12T16:11:37.365-04:002014-07-12T16:11:37.365-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.ANNOYED PINOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714774340084597206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-31835286155220903942014-07-12T16:09:41.103-04:002014-07-12T16:09:41.103-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.ANNOYED PINOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714774340084597206noreply@blogger.com
