Well, according to Ezekiel 1 they might look something like this…
According to Daniel 10 something like this…
According to Isaiah 6…
In Ezekiel 10…
Again in Ezekiel 10…
Basically, when the people writing Scripture tried to describe what they saw when they saw an angel… they run into the end of their imagination… they can never quite seem to fully explain it because they had trouble even comprehending what they saw, let alone being able to describe it to someone else.
Yeah, that’s usually how people responded to seeing them in the Bible…
There’s a good reason why angels’ standard greeting is ‘Do not be afraid’.
I used to listen to this radio show and one thing I remember because it was so funny was a Christmas special where an angel showed up to tell the shepherds about the birth of Christ. The conversations went:
Angel: “FEAR NOT.”
Shepherds: *screaming*
Angel: “I SAID FEAR NOT.”
Shepherds: *screaming LOUDER*
Angel: “WHAT PART OF FEAR NOT ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING?”
More angels in media that look like this, less cis white 30-something guys please
Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock (which seem to be the most popular TV series trio on Tumblr right now) all have a “Lazarus of Bethany” reference. In Supernatural, it’s the first episode of the fourth season. In Doctor Who, it’s professor Lazarus from season 3. In Sherlock, it’s in the first episode of the third season.
I have no idea why, but I find that absolutely fascinating that these three shows would all have something in common like that. Though I do suppose it could be a very well known allusion? Time to do more research.
