Do Angels Really Have Wings ??!! Of Course NOT !!
Angels don't have wings !!
Only in visions do they have them.
In Isaiah's vision the angels had wings(Isaiah 6.1-7).
In paintings saints have halos above their heads.
But halos are not really there !!
They are added by the artist for OUR sakes - so we can see who is who.
Ditto with wings.
Angels in paintings have them so that WE can tell that they are angels !!
At the tomb of Christ, there were two angels dressed in shining white.
They told Peter and John, and Mary Magdalene that Jesus had risen -
like He said He would (Matthew 28.1-6; Mark 16.1-7; Luke 24.4-12; John 20.1-13).
Its not that these two angels had wings but somehow HID THEM under their clothes !!
The reason angels don't have wings is because they can fly WITHOUT wings !!
In short, they don't need them, OK ??!!
So get it into your heads: ANGELS DON'T HAVE WINGS !!
Like Paul the apostle wrote, "When I was a child, I thought as a child.
But when I became a man I put aside CHILDISH THINGS"(1 Corinthians 13.11).
The concept that angels have wings that flap, etc,
is one of the most childish things in the whole world !!
We are to PUT IT ASIDE !! Agreed ??!!
If you agree, then write a comment !! THANX !!
PS: we become "as angels" after death !!
In Luke 20.35-37 the word used is "angel" with the suffix.
In English it is "ic."
Angelic basically means you are - ARE - an angel.
We become "angelic" post-death !!
As for this side of death, we are to "do the work of an evangelist" (2 Timothy 4.5).
But in the original Greek the word is "good angel."
So the message is: do the work of a GOOD ANGEL !!
So we don't have to wait til we go to heaven to become angels (or angelic).
We can begin right now - right here.
(Angels don't eat, sleep, or think sexual thoughts, or hate, covet or lie, etc).
Only in visions do they have them.
In Isaiah's vision the angels had wings(Isaiah 6.1-7).

All Angels were known to be created by God, their presence is always felt if you are attuned with your spirituality, in addition, upon birth, all beings are born with a Guardian and that theology dates back to Ancient Judaism, and in Christianity, the hierarchy of angels was extensively developed in the 5th century by the Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite ideology
In the second chapter of the Bible, we are told that God created the Heavens and the earth, and everything in them. The Bible indicates that angels were created at the same time the earth was formed, even before human life was created.
Thus, the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. (Genesis 2:1)
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. (Colossians 1:16)
Angels were created to live for eternity.
Scripture tells us that Angels do not experience death.
Or can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. (Luke 20:36)
Angels were present when God created the world
When God created the foundations of the earth, the angels had already been in existence.
Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said: "...Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? ...while the morning stars sang together, and all the angels shouted for joy?" (Job 38:1-7)
Angels do not marry
In heaven, men and women will be like the Angels, who do not marry or reproduce.
At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. (Matthew 22:30)
Angels are wise and intelligent.
Angels can discern good and evil and give insight and understanding.
Your maidservant said, ‘The word of my lord the king will now be comforting; for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king in discerning good and evil. And may the LORD your God be with you.’ (2 Samuel 14:17)
He instructed me and said to me, "Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding." (Daniel 9:22)
Angels take an interest in human affairs.
Angels have been and will forever be involved and interested in what is happening in the lives of human beings.
"Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come." (Daniel 10:14)
"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." (Luke 15:10)
Angels are faster than humans.
Angels seem to have the ability to fly.
While I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. (Daniel 9:21)
And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world—to every nation, tribe, language, and people. (Revelation 14:6)
Angels are spiritual beings.
As spirit beings, angels do not have true physical bodies.
Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire. (Psalm 104:4)
Angels are not meant to be worshiped.
Angels are sometimes mistaken for God by humans and worshiped in the Bible, but reject it, as they are not meant to be worshiped.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10)
Angels are subject to Christ.
Angels are Christ's servants.
Who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him. (1 Peter 3:22)
Angels have a will.
Angels have the ability to exercise their own will.
How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You said in your heart,
"I will ascend to heaven.
I will raise my throne.
above the stars of God.
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High. (Isaiah 14:12-14)
And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. (Jude 1:6)
Angels express emotions like joy and longing.
Angels shout for joy, feel longing, and show many emotions in the Bible.
While the morning stars sang together, and all the angels shouted for joy? (Job 38:7)
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things. (1 Peter 1:12)
Angels are not omnipresent, omnipotent, or omniscient.
Angels have certain limitations. They are not all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere present.
Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. (Daniel 10:12-13)
But even the Archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!" (Jude 1:9)
Angels are too numerous to count.
The Bible indicates that an incalculable number of Angels exist.
The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands … (Psalm 68:17)
But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly … (Hebrews 12:22)
Most angels remained faithful to God.
While some angels rebelled against God, the vast majority stayed faithful to him.
Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!' (Revelation 5:11-12)
Three Angels have names in the Bible.
Only three angels are mentioned by name in the canonical books of the Bible: Gabriel, Michael, and the fallen angel Lucifer, or Satan.
Daniel 8:16
Luke 1:19
Luke 1:26
Only one angel in the Bible is called an Archangel.
Michael is the only angel to be called an archangel in the Bible. He is described as "one of the chief princes," so it is possible that there are other archangels, but we cannot be sure. The word "archangel" comes from the Greek word Archangelos meaning "a chief angel." It refers to an angel ranked highest or in charge of other angels.
Angels were created to glorify and worship God the Father and God the Son.
Revelation 4:8
Hebrews 1:6
Angels report to God.
Job 1:6
Job 2:1
Some Angels are called Seraphim.
In Isaiah 6:1-8 we see a description of Seraphim. These are tall Angels, each with six wings, and they can fly.
Angels are known variously as:
Messengers
Watchers or supervisors for God
Military "hosts"
“Sons of the mighty”
“Sons of God”
“Chariots”
In closing my poet
Yes, Angels does have wings, they are called Cherubs and Seraphims
Cherubs and they work directly with God as well as. And yes, Seraphim Angels does have wings, they are the highest Angels who sit at the right hand of Gods Throne, therefore, when you say Angels do not have wings, you need to clarify your stance between Angels, who do not have wings, whereas ,Cherubs and Seraphims does.
And the Angels who were Cherubim Angels were, Archangel Gabriel, Lucifer, before his Fall from Grace, Archangel Raphael, Rikbiel, and Sachiel, and Jophiel
I admired your narrative musing my poet, it is a very insightful piece. I do study Angels, Charkas, Numerology, and Reflexology as a passion.

My my u r something else !! U put a lot of work.into that comment. Very thorough. But u admit angels "are spirits" so why hold onto wings for angels. They r superfluous u c ?? Yes angels have wings in Isaiah 6 - but that was in the context of the VISION that Isaiah was having. SHOW ME AN ANGEL WITH WINGS OUTSIDE. OF A VISION !! U can't !!
And the fact that angels may have been present at Creation - thus not coming from humans - that doesn't negate the fact the Christ says TODAY's angels are humans who reach maturity. I mean today, humans naturally BECOME angels - like children become adults !! That's what Christ is saying in Luke 20 !!

Thank you and yes, Angels are of the spiritual essence of divinity. They are of Heavenly nature
Angle are ranked in order my poet, and please be advised Angles can never become
human in my research.
Yes. I will have to give my humblest credence to the Angels greatest in both power and authority is Michael (The Arch Angel) Seraphs are high-ranking Angels who are stationed near Jehovah’s throne. Cherubs form another high-ranking order of Angels having special duties. For example, cherubs guarded the entrance to the garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were expelled.
Be advised our guidance light is completely different as Angels have. Guidance light of any Angel is adjusted to his function in universe, Angels are servants of existence and they protect certain laws of universe. Our light is about unconditional love, forgiveness, and sacrifice. Angels don’t incarnate, they just are, mostly the same from the beginning till the end, they don’t have path, they keep this universe moving on. We can incarnate, we don’t have many duties except those about our survival. We can make wrong choices - it will cost of course, but we can choose. Angels don’t choose, they have law written in their being and they are its voice. Angel and human are completely different beings, we share the same consciousness, but light of guidance/soul is different.
An Angel is a spiritual “echelon” which must be earned.
In addition, an Angel is a true human being. We are just intellectual creatures.
Angels, or Deities, or whatever you choose to call them, have discarded their lunar astral and mental bodies (of nature) and created solar astral and mental bodies (of spirit).
Solar and lunar bodies are not physical bodies, they are bodies of energy.
The solar bodies are what the Bible refers to as the Wedding Garment.
The one who has created the solar bodies has been born again in Spirit. This is the true meaning of the Biblical phrase.
The solar bodies are created by the practice of sexual alchemy, or the Maithuna, as it is called in the Hindu spiritual practice.
Along with creating the solar bodies, an Angel must also have annihilated the ego through meditative practices, as well as perform service to humanity.
Angels are celestial beings that are incorporeal. Though they do not have bodies, they can put on bodies like human beings, but that does not make them to become human.
Angels are not designed to become human beings, for they are created as God’s special messengers who do His biddings (Psa 103:20; Heb 1:14). They desire to look into the secrets of how men can be saved from sin (1 Peter 1:12). Unlike men, Angels do not marry (Mark 12:25) and they do not die (Luke 20:36) Therefore, their position is higher than that of men presently (Heb 1:6–8) Angels are a separate creation of God, not resurrected humans. (Colossians 1:16) People who are raised to life in heaven receive the gift of immortal life from God. (1 Corinthians 15:53, 54) They will have a status higher than the angels.—1 Corinthians 6:3
Thank you, my poet, for allowing me to explain myself in general in regards to my research and various beliefs of how Angels play an integral role within our society. Please enjoy your upcoming week as well
