“There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” – Matthew 28:2-6 (NIV)

My Thoughts: 

If this happened during these years, it would be hard to believe. This reminds me that they are watching over us and that we need to accept that.

Earthquake 

Logically, I’m thinking why was there a violent earthquake? Couldn’t the angel come without an earthquake? There must be some gap between heaven and earth that the angel had to come thru an earthquake. The earthquake brought the angel to earth, tells me that we are just not meant to see where heaven is. We are here for a reason and only way back would be after death. In other words, this makes me believe more that there is an afterlife after this and that there is Heaven out there.

Afraid Guards 

The guards became like dead men after seeing the angel tells me that fear controls us. I’ve noticed that thousands of years ago when Jesus was here, everyone who had mental problems had a demon. He took the demon out of the person and healed them. I’ve come to realize that the problems they had back then were not demons but fear or depression. Fear causes many symptoms to a person that takes the person out of the normal being. Which we know this now whereas before people thought it was a demon. Or maybe it just is a demon, who really knows?
