As we shall see in
the various angel accounts in the Gospel birth narratives, encounters with
angels precipitate the humbling of the powerful and the lifting up of the
powerless. And as none of us – however marginalised – are entirely without
power, and as none of us – however hard we seek to protect our interests – are
entirely without powerlessness, this results in an upheaval within. That which
needs to be brought low, is brought low; and that which needs to be lifted up,
is lifted up. All topsy-turvy.
