Those who anticipate a physical descent of Jesus from the heavens, carried by angels, should reflect on this verse. Such whimsical expectations are typical of those who oppose prophets, often demanding visible signs like angels descending—in this case, as in Noah's time:
And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved, said, 'He (Noah) is only a man like yourselves; he seeks to make himself superior to you. And if Allah so willed, He could have surely sent down angels. We have never heard of such a thing among our forefathers. (23:25)
