Once again, this is a long passage. To refresh your memory, please click Revelation 19:11-21 to reread the passage.

Angel appearances are rare and frightening.

I love thinking about the shepherd’s scene. They were peacefully resting with their sheep on a hillside near Bethlehem. All was quiet and calm and into the night an angel appeared to them. Just like the others in our story, they were afraid. The angel knew they were not just afraid but terrified. They were told to put their fears away and rejoice in the news the angel had for them.
