Angelic Intervention Requires Human Authorization

Angels cannot appear on Earth without permission from humans. This stems from the legal framework established by God, where humans have dominion over Earth.

Human Dominion over Earth

God entrusted mankind with the responsibility to govern the Earth, as stated in Genesis 1:26. Humans are considered the legal stewards of the Earthly domain.

Angels Lack Earthly Authority

Angels do not possess authority over Earth. Their home is in the Heavenly realm, and their interactions on Earth require human facilitation.

Angels Need Physical Bodies to Interact with Earth

Angels cannot directly manifest on Earth without a physical body. They need a human-granted authorization and a physical form to interact with the physical world.
