There are some quotations in the Bible that sound like they come right out of the hardest, wildest, most hair-raising movie thriller ever.  Consider these scenarios:

Zechariah was visited by an angel while serving in the holy of holies (Luke 1).  Fear fell upon him. When he questioned the veracity of the majestic being, the angel draws himself up to full height, fixes his steely eyes on Zechariah, and say, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.  And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”

OrThis interchange between Joshua and a Jesus-like figure in Joshua 5.13-15: When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” And the commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Or

Moses’ interaction with the angel of the LORD in the burning bush (Exodus 3) includes these fearsome declarations:  Then he (God) said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
