Why do angels no longer come down from heaven like they did in the Bible?

The idea of whether angels still visit Earth in a visible way depends on your perspective:

Religious Texts:

The Bible: Some interpretations of the Bible suggest angelic appearances became less frequent after the establishment of the Church or the completion of the Bible. However, other parts depict angels being present but unseen (e.g., guardians).

Other religious texts have varying views on angelic interaction in the world.

Theological Beliefs:

Some denominations believe angels continue to interact with humans in subtle ways, as guides or protectors.

Others believe their appearances are rare or reserved for extraordinary circumstances.

Here are some points to consider:

Focus Shift: The emphasis in some religions may have shifted from direct angelic appearances to a focus on scripture, prayer, or an internal relationship with God.

Symbolic Interpretations: Some view biblical stories of angels as symbolic representations of God's intervention or guidance, not literal physical appearances.

Ultimately, the question of angelic appearances is a matter of faith and interpretation.
