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.
