This is what angels look like according to the Bible. A thread explaining the 9 types, and why they say when they appear: "Be not afraid"... 🧵
Summary
This thread explains the 9 types of angels described in the Bible, organized into three orders by theologian Aquinas. The lowest order includes regular angels and archangels that interact with humans, while the highest order consists of otherworldly beings like Seraphim (with six wings and eyes) and Cherubim (with four faces and wings), which explains why angels often say 'Be not afraid' when appearing to people.
