Generally speaking, The Bible describes angels as human-like in appearance and not having wings; in fact there are some passages where having wings would have been quite incongruous. On the other hand, there are two beings that are commonly included with angels and which are shown as having wings: cherubim and seraphim.
- The best biblical description of cherubim (sing: cherub) is to be found in the story of the Ark of the Covenant, and it appears that they were sphinx-like creatures with human heads, the bodies of lions and two wings. Similar figures appear throughout the ancient Near East, including, of course, Egypt.
- Seraphim (sing: seraph) are described in Isaiah 6:2 as part of God's retinue and it seems they were creatures of fire, with six wings.

Do angel's have wings?
Opinion: The most common image of an angel is essentially a human being with wings. This is not Biblical. The Bible often presents angels as appearing as human beings. However, this does not indicate that angels in their essence resemble human beings. Further, the Bible vary rarely describes angels as having wings. However, there are definitely two types of angels mentioned in the Bible that have wings: Cherubim (Exodus 25:20; Ezekiel 10) and Seraphim (Isaiah 6). Cherubim and Seraphim are two types of angels, possibly the two highest orders of angels. So, this much is clear, some angels do have wings. The Chrubim and Seraphim mentioned in the Bible are considered by some to be literal and by some to be metaphoric. Taken as literal there is no evidence in the bible that they are 'different types or classes of angel'. Most references to Seraphim refer to a snake like creature and only the single reference in Isaiah refers Seraphim as having six wings, a face, feet, hands, and speaking. The prophet Ezekiel describes the cherubim as a tetrad of living creatures, each having four faces: of a lion, an ox, an eagle, and a man. They are said to have the stature and hands of a man, the feet of a calf, and four wings. Two of the wings extended upward, meeting above and sustaining the throne of God; while the other two stretched downward and covered the creatures themselves. It is also thought that the Cherubuim are simply protective pillars or symbols, as represented as standing at the entrance to the garden of eden and 2 on top of the Ark of the Covenant.
