Jesus Ascension Heaven Disciples

Biblical readers: does any know the answer to this scripture?

“They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. ‘Men of Galilee,’ they said, ‘why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.’”
(Acts 1:10-11)

I don’t know who the “two men dressed in white” were that spoke to the disciples at Jesus’ ascension. The Bible does not say who they were. If they were angels, why does the scripture say they are men?

Does anyone know who these men were?

I’ve always thought them to be angels.

It is similar description in Matthew 28:1-3 after Jesus rose from the dead and an angel was at the empty tomb.

1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

If you look at Judges 13 there is an account where an angel of God that visited the parents of Samson, prior to his birth, ascended up to heaven over a flame of fire.

17And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?

18And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?

19So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wonderously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.

20For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.

21But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.

22And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

But not all angels appear as strange or distant. For just as God appeared to mankind through Jesus Christ. So too have people entertained angels unawares as Paul said in Hebrews 13:2

2Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

We know that Abraham did so in the old testament.

I hope this helps along with others that answer as well.
