Acts 1-3

Through out the scriptures there are incedents where God sent heavenly messangers in human appearance to proclaim God's message to his people. Three men visited Abraham with a message of Isaac's birth and the destruction of Sodom. One man appeared to Samson's parents to speak of his coming birth. One man gave Mary of Nazareth the news of her miraclously pregnancy. While the host of Heaven proclaimed Jesus' birth to a group of shepherds. Luke recorded (Luke 24:4-7) that there where two men inside Jesus' empty tomb to help explain the amazing situation to a group of doublely heart-broken women. Each time God sent his messengers they spoke very few words and stayed only short periods of time; minutes or hours rather than days. In Acts 1:10-11 Luke noted that there where two men who joined the crowd on Olivet mountain after Jesus returned to Heaven. Their purpose was to get the small group of believers to move along. They asked them a question and then gave them the answer to the questions that no one had spoken: Where did Jesus go? When will we see him again? I wonder how long the disciple stood looking at the sky before those two men appeared and gave them God's message?
It took me about 13 minutes to read this passage.
