Genesis 19:16.5 - And the angel of the far east, with dual wielding swords and mad skills, slaughtered many.

Does not help with credibility...

Technically speaking, most of the characters from the early parts of the bible are Israelites- no one is quite sure exactly how they looked back then, but probably somewhat close to Israelis today look. And the accent, well they'd all be speaking Aramaic, and since no one speaks that language it'd sound like gibberish without subtitles and we'd all be lost! [LOL]

They're airing it tonight on History, plus an encore presentation Sunday at 3PM MST before they air the new episode at 5PM... Just FYI.

Doesn't look like they are going to sell episodes in iTunes or amazon either.

It was more just the way it was presented on the show. My catechism classes showed the angels with one sword each.

Got it on the DVR, working a set of night shifts now so no time till I get off on Friday. Looks like a great show, i will have to try not reading the rest of this post so I can take it all in with an open mind.
