You tell me what I saw, if not Angels then what?

    This happened to me years ago when I was still living in Nashville TN. I was driving home from work one day and I was in the turn lane getting ready to take a left. I had a green arrow and I proceeded into the intersection. Just before I turned, I heard sirens and saw flashing lights from two cars approaching me from the oncoming traffic. These two cars stopped in tandem, one right in front of the other and blocked me from turning. They beat all of the other cars in both lanes to get into the intersection first. What I didn’t realize was that even though I had a green arrow in my lane to turn, the oncoming traffic also had a green light to go straight. Just as I realized this fact, the oncoming traffic proceeded through the intersection towards me and then through the light.

    The two cars each had one guy in it. I studied the guys and their cars (I'm very curious by nature), and made some observations. First, their cars had only flashing red lights with sirens blaring, however no cars from the oncoming traffic were stopping, but just kept on driving! Both cars had no license plates, no writings/markings anywhere, no tall antenna in the back (like you normally see on cop cars for their CB radios), and no other siren light colors other than red. All cop cars I’ve ever seen have had some mix of red/blue/amber light combination but never solid red. Fire department vehicles do, but aren’t people supposed to stop when they see emergency lights and hear sirens?

    Now on to the two “cops”. This sounds weird but both guys had long hair, had no officer badges, grey uniforms (not the color Nashville PD wear) and they both just sat in their car with one hand out of the window motioning me not to turn. When they looked at me they didn’t seem to have much emotion, but just kept their eyes on me while waiting for traffic to pass. Once both lights went red, these “cops” just drove away lights flashing and sirens blaring, just like they had came in. I waited for the next rotation to turn left. Once my arrow turned green again, I took a very cautious left and parked by the sidewalk.

    I watched that intersection’s lights for quite a few rotations, looking to see if they would malfunction again but they didn’t! Only that one time, when I was in the turn lane. The “cops” spared me a head on collision. No man could’ve predicted this was gonna happen only ONCE. All I can say is that angels protected me that day. For the record, no I’m not writing a book, nor did I get some revelation from these angels. I didn’t speak to them and nor they to me. I am just fully convinced that God protects us in so many ways that we don’t even know how. This is one instance where God had opened my eyes to allow me to see where he has showed me mercy. I don’t need these “miracles” to prove God or to love him, but when they happen, it reminds me that I serve a LIVING heavenly father that created everything. I‘ve witnessed other supernatural phenomena as well that maybe I'll share some other time.

    Thanks for listening and keep looking up.

    Blessings………

    Wow, middleman! Definately not NPD. I usually just get feelings, you get a full on brigade! I for one don't doubt you.

    Angels come in all shapes and forms.

    I also believe you.

    I have heard these kinds of stories. One thing that always amazes me, is how people almost always make a jump from the incident to GOD. Or, they use the incident as proof that their belief system must be right. Or, they think that they have now been chosen for some special work or other. Please, just stick to the thought that you have two guardians of some kind, possibly spiritual.

    Okay, how about the cops stopped you from turning because one of the vehicles that was one of the oncoming cars was carrying a very, very important man/woman and that's why the cops stopped you and that's why the oncomng traffic lights stayed green. (Or, maybe they ywere red, you couldn't have seen them from your opposite side of the light.

    That's my take on it. Sorry to bust your bubble.

    Middle Man: I am glad that you benefited from God's undeserved kindness in your traffic incident. But I have to wonder where God was when that tsunami struck south Asia a couple of years ago. You remember the one that killed an estimated 300,000, don't you? A truly nasty affair. Or, how about the thousands of people who die each day simply because they lack food and/or potable water? I'm glad that you find comfort in the idea that God sent angels to play traffic cop on your behalf. It kind of warms the heart, especially when one thinks of all those people who have died so needlessly in Iraq and the world over. Every day, people die horrible, agonizing deaths. Just think of Aushwitz, Dachau, Treblinka - a veritable litany that would make anyone start to sing: "What a wonderful, wonderful world!" And to think that God sent a couple of his very own "Eagle Scouts" to your rescue!

    Uhm... wow. That's... really weird and awesomely cool. Whatever it was... we're glad you're here.

    Yeah, too bad God didn't send his angels to stop that drunk from ramming that minivan and killing a young mother and her two babies last year, or too bad he didn't stop that SUV from hitting that motorcycle instantly killing the rider, at the intersection near where I live and too bad he didn't send his angels to stop.... well, you get my drift. I guess you must be more special and deserving than the hundreds of thousands of people who are killed and seriously maimed in motor vehicle accidents every year.

    Is it just possible that two un-marked police cars with plain clothes policeman in them (many of whom have long hair) blocked your path in the intersection because they had used those traffic control thingys they have to change the lights for the oncoming traffic? Is it possible that they didn't interact with you because they weren't the least bit interested in you personally, your car just happened to be the car in the intersection when they wanted to allow someone else to pass through?

    When there are two possible explanations for an unusual incident, it's logical to choose the most plausible one which is usually the one that doesn't have any divine deity randomly intervening supernaturally in order to save the lives of a select few while thousand of others are allowed to perish.

    It is a shame that these angels who went to so much trouble to warn one insignificant person of impending doom, did not see fit to warn the 40,000 women, some of them as young as ten years of age, that they were going to be raped repeatedly, often by twenty men at a time, in the wars of Bosnia.

    What is the matter with your angels? Do they only like the easy jobs?

    Sounds like a typical funeral precession or some sort of official escort for a VIP. Traffic control vehicles speed ahead to each intersection to ensure the precession (or VIP) can drive through regardless of what color the traffic light is.

    Just because you did not recognize the type of vehicle does not automatically make it supernatural. Doing so is quite presumptuous on your part by your insisting that you know and understand every type of vehicle in existence with a full understanding of who uses them and how.
