“...saw angels guarding Flight 93 site after deadly crash...”

Apparently they were a little late.

It looks like the Guardian Angels got there a little bit late.

Interesting report.

A legion of angels is roughly regimental sized, while a cohort is battalion sized.

The report indicated she saw hundreds or columns of angels numbering several hundred.

She also reports they were archangels because their wings arched upwards.

Her report might be an honest eyewitness report of a spiritual perception, and indeed perhaps hundreds of angels were there.

FWIW, archangels, at least as I understand their rankings, are not described such because their wings arch. Rather, they are very supremely ranked angels above and beyond most ranks of angels. Generally, archangels are associated with the “Magnificent Seven”: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Sariel, Uriel, Raziel, and Metatron.

Angelic ranking also is associated with the numbers of wings. Cherubim have 4, Seraphim (highest rank) have 6.

Reviewing notes, she may have indeed reported a spiritual witness, but being exposed to such phenomenon is usually fairly worldview-shaking for the witness. It isn’t uncommon for them to become far more trained on the topic than most peers or seniors. Her degeneracy to “spiritism” casts doubt upon her veracity.

Like all situations for believers, either we can remain in faith in Christ to do the right thing, at the right place, at the right time,...or we can slip out of fellowship, and fall into any number of arrogant behaviors. Each believer also has different roles to play in His Plan. So while some believers might become stimulated to research every aspect of their spiritual experience, others might simply use it as a stepping stone to advance through faith in Christ to follow His Plan for them in other fashions.

IMHO, the “spiritualism/spiritist” allusion manifests preoccupation with a domain not intended for man at this time. The other indicator is the appeal to “PTS”, which becomes a crutch for approbation lust, seeking arrogant attention for her experience instead of walking in faith through Christ as He intends for us to persevere.

Her report though might be accurate.
