LUKE 24:4

 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. - Luke 24:4

"While they were wondering about this"? No duh!  These women just got up, and within five minutes they've seen the stone removed from the front of Jesus' tomb and then no Jesus.  

And then these men just appear.  I am going to guess that they weren't there the whole time - it seems like the ladies would have noticed someone in clothes gleaming like lightning.  (Side note: Is it weird that they had clothes?  I would think angels with wings, but maybe I have the wrong view of angels.  Are angels just people that have died?)

It is kind of cool that You give them a few minutes to just wonder.  You let them "take in" the hugest moment in the history of man before you send lightning boys.  And, I guess, in the same way, you let us do that too.  We get a lot of time to just wonder before things are made clear.  Enjoy the wonder!
