Mark 16:5 Description of an Angel


5And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. -Mark 16:5 Bible, King James Version


In the Bible there is a description of the Garments of Light worn by the Saints of Heaven at the second coming of Jesus: 7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Revelation 19:7-8, 11-14) Saint John the Divine teaches: He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in White Raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life. (Bible, Revelations 3:5) He also gives this description of the Resurrected Jesus: I saw… one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a Garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters… and His countenance was as the Sun shineth in his strength. …And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me… I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore. (Revelation 1:12-18) This does not mean that all Angels or Masters are clothed in White Garments. For example, the Ascended Master Beloved Ray-O-Light says His Mantle of Flame is Golden lined and Blue without. When we fill our inner body with the fiery Light of Divine Love from the Heart Centre we are clothed in an Angelic Garment of Golden Light preparing us for the company of the Angelic Host of Heaven which is seen as a Sun above the horizon.

                                                                      
In his book Heaven and its Wonders and Hell From Things Heard and Seen Emmanuel Swedenborg teaches: Chapter 20 vs. 177. "Since angels are men, and live among themselves as men do on the earth, they have garments and dwellings and other such things, with the difference, however, that as they are in a more perfect state all things with them are in greater perfection… 179. The garments of some blaze as if with flame, and those of others glisten as if with light. …Some have garments that are glistening white… and others garments of various colors… 181. When I asked where they got their garments, they said from the Lord, and that they receive them as gifts, and sometimes they are clothed with them unconsciously. They said also that their garments are changed in accordance with their changes of state, that in the first and second state their garments are shining and glistening white, and in the third and fourth state a little less bright… 182. Those in the hells… appear clothed in garments, but in ragged, squalid, and filthy garments… and they can be clothed in no others. It is granted them by the Lord to be clothed, lest they be seen naked."
 
From my own personal experience, when I have opened up my Crown Chakra in the Inner Worlds and filled my whole body with White Light I have effectively clothed myself in a Garment of White Light or I have actually seen a Garment of White Light moving towards me through the air then I found myself in a Heaven where there were Guardian Angels standing in pairs in the air in front of the buildings. Personally I believe this is what is sometimes referred to as the Seemless Garment because it is made by God not by man. By opening up the Crown chakra we can see the Highest Kingdom of Heaven in the Inner Worlds as a White Star in the sky. By filling our whole body with This White Light we can clothe our body in a Garment of White Light like the Angels. I believe that if we then place ourselves in a sphere of White Light, or White Fire, we will find ourselves in the White Light Kingdom of Heaven. Depending on which chakra we have open or what coloured Light fills the sphere would I believe determine which of the Kingdoms of Heaven, or Octaves of Light, we will find ourselves in.
